Methods for Ecocritical Art History: book launch

For this special event, Thinking Culture will host Andrew Patrizio and Olga Smith for a launch of their new edited book Methods for Ecocritical Art History (Manchester University Press). Andrew and Olga will be joined by Professor Carl Lavery (Theatre Studies, University of Glasgow) and Prof Dominic Paterson (The Hunterian) to discuss the book and its intervention in one of the most important and exciting developments in current art history.

This is the first book to provide a survey of ecocritical methods, showing what they can offer art historians. It also indicates what the interdisciplinary project of ecocriticism stands to gain from art historians, their methods and practices. The book assembles twenty-three essays written by international scholars that span a wide range of methodological approaches, including ecofeminism, planetary ecologies, material ecocriticism, ecopolitics, and indigenous ecopoetics.

Refreshments served.
