The ethnographic case studies cover the BP-owned Deepwater Horizon oil spill (chap. 2, “Governing Disaster”), tar sands extraction in Alberta (chap. 3, “Ethical...

... the words “Fossil Free Culture,” and created an oil spill in the atrium and proceeded to walk through it barefoot, visually narrating the fossil fuel corporation’s despoilment of the museum and more broadly the environment. Ultimately, Demos does not bring into play any deductive logic that may...

... is fully realized when “nature represents itself” (292) and the “representation has become the real” (302) exemplified by post oil-spill environments speaking directly through films of oil unmediated by films of celluloid. This synthesis is the climax of an array of case studies of the power...

... of material spills and piles of industrial and natural material radicalized the way we consider art, and especially sculpture. These piles of dirt and detritus now signal themes of urban anxieties, of both social and environmental distress. Figure 3 “window View, Main Street (detail)”. 2009. Light jet...

... and the 2008 banking crises ( The Low Road and Moral Hazard , 2009, respectively). I have used the iconography of the Green Man (see Basford 1978 ) and grotesques to research the corporate relationships behind the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill ( Green Men , 2010–11). I’ve also been influenced by the period...

... irrelevant. And it is even better that the professors of these defeated ideas attest to such irrelevance themselves. Zeng's TV Confessions series works with that period of Singapore history, in the latter half of the 1970s and spilling over into the 1980s, which saw a concerted state-led effort...

... through tax and National Insurance, and generates exports valued at £25 billion ( Walpole 2017 : 5). In addition to the direct positive impact of the production and consumption of luxury on, for instance, employment and taxes, the sector has positive indirect influences, through spill-over effects...

... and painted walls and spilled them directly into external reality, into the space of the outer world, initially, in an exchange with Golub’s battling giants and gods. Spero’s ideas percolated and developed a specific gravity of form interacting with the living presence of Gigantomachy II . And yet...

... the work might be blinding us to its import should, I think, push us to examine the experience suites much more carefully. It might just propel us to zoom out, to try to see the wood for the trees. Only plants are abundant here—spilling demurely through the tiers of shelving units, their leaves...

..., the beach gave rise to another horror—that of the hedonistic mob (see, e.g., Shields 1991 ). By the early twentieth century, modernist writing was full of queasy observations of how the masses spilled out of the cities to contaminate the sands (Boddy 2007 ; Feigel 2009 ; Carey 1992 ). Contempt...

The message of Drawing the Line is that MPAs eliminate fishing but do not affect other sources of damage such as agricultural runoff, pollution, oil spills, ocean acidification, sea warming, and plastics.

In addition, the Congolese army has committed many human rights abuses. All of these groups have attempted to seize control of natural...

... of the standard Cold War fiction/film scenarios is for the accident to rear its head causing simulation to spill out, three-dimensional, into the tug and bruise of the world. In Powers’s novel, the spillage occurs with the outbreak of the Gulf War, in which the technologies of smart weapons broadcast their own...
