Ryan traces how urban artists in the US from the 1970s until today contend with environmental domestication and spatial injustice through performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn theater, art, film, and digital media, the artists featured in this book perform everyday, spatialized micro-acts to contest the mutual containment of urbanites and nonhuman nature. Whether it is plant artist Vaughn Bell going for a city stroll in her personal biosphere, photographer Naima Green photographing Black urbanites in lush New York City parks, guerrilla gardeners launching seed bombs into abandoned city lots, or a satirical tweeter parodying BP's response to the 2010 \u003ci\u003eDeepwater Horizon \u003c\/i\u003eoil spill, the subjects in this book challenge deeply engrained Western directives to domesticate nonhuman nature. In examining how urban eco-artists perform alternate ecologies that celebrate the interconnectedness of marginalized human, vegetal, and aquatic life, Ryan suggests that small environmental performances can expose spatial injustice and increase spatial mobility. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing a performance perspective to the environmental humanities, this interdisciplinary text offers readers stymied by the global climate crisis a way forward. It will appeal to a wide range of students and academics in performance, media studies, urban geography, and environmental studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46259832094961,"sku":"9781032067698","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781032067698_p0.jpg?v=1765041394","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781032067698","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
