Specifikacia Life in Plastic: Artistic Responses to Petromodernity Irr Caren
A vital contribution to environmental humanities that explores artistic responses to the plastic ageSince at least the 1960s, plastics have been a defining feature of contemporary life. They are undeniably utopian--wondrously innovative, cheap, malleable, durable, and convenient. Yet our proliferating use of plastics has also triggered catastrophic environmental consequences. Plastics are piling up in landfills, floating in oceans, and contributing to climate change and cancer clusters. They are derived from petrochemicals and enmeshed with the global oil economy, and they permeate our consumer goods and their packaging, our clothing and buildings, our bodies and minds. Plastic reshapes our cultural and social imaginaries.With impressive breadth and compelling urgency, the essays in Life in Plastic examine the arts and literature of the plastic age.
