Focusing on texts such as the TV show Wildboyz and film series Green Porno, the book shows how such "bad environmentalists" use absurdity, camp, playfulness, and repulsiveness to counter climate skepticism and forces of environmental degradation as well as to question mainstream environmentalism's earnest prescriptiveness. Using affect theory and queer theory as her primary theoretical frameworks, Seymour considers the potentials and pitfalls of bad environmentalism and expands our understandings of environmental art and activism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a "I'm No Botanist, but.": irony, ecocinema, and the problem of expert knowledge -- "So Much to See, So Little to Learn": perverting nature/wildlife programming -- Climate change is a drag and camping can be campy: on queer environmental performance -- Animatronic Indians and black folk who don't: rewriting racialized environmental affect -- Gas-guzzling, beer-chugging, tree huggers: toward trashy environmentalisms. 650 0 $a Environmentalism in art. 650 0 $a Queer theory. 650 0 $a Affect (Psychology) 650 7 $a ART $x Criticism & Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Affect (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798853 650 7 $a Environmentalism in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903138 650 7 $a Queer theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739572 776 08 $i Online version: $a Seymour, Nicole author. $t Bad environmentalism. $b 1. $d Minneapolis : University of Minnesota Press, 2018 $z 9781452958095 $w (DLC) 2018025971 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020640.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=51C7886A462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
