No class February 7. Instead you were asked to watch “Don’t Look Up” (google drive<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slide presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, February 9 [PDF]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note<\/em><\/strong>: On Tuesday we’ll finish our discussion of the texts from last week<\/a>, and then we’ll start watching Don’t Look Up<\/em> (2021). So let’s consider the reading responses due on Wednesday night this week, for discussion Thursday. Thanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readings for this week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Lisa Parks and Janet Walker, “Disaster Media: Bending the Curve of Ecological Disruption and Moving toward Social Justice<\/a>“. Media+Environment<\/em> 2 (1), 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Samantha Montao, Disasterology: Dispatches from the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis<\/a><\/em>, 2021. I’ve posted the entire book, but it’s quite long! No expectation to read the whole thing. Let’s all make sure to read the introduction (PDF pages 9-19, and as much of Part One as you can. I’d at least like to get through the section labeled “Heckuva Job”, that’s PDF page 38. If you look through this book and find other sections that seem important to you, please read that and share what you find.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Kim Stanley Robinson, The Ministry for the Future<\/a><\/em>, chapter 1. I’m also including chapter 1 from this science fiction book. Most science fiction that I’ve considered including this semester tends to be more (post)apocalyptic, which is a little adjacent to the main themes we’ll be focusing on. But this book is directly about climate change and I think has some prognostic value. It’s a long book, so I’m just including the first chapter here which is about 8 pages. Content warning: it graphically narrates a fictional deadly weather event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note:<\/strong> I bumped the Jesse Singer book (There are No Accidents<\/em>) in favor of Samantha Montano for this week. We’ll come back to the Singer text later when we talk about neoliberalism, paired with Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine<\/em> and other texts. I think it will fit better there. Sorry for the jostling. If anything is confusing, please just let me know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
