New Book Collects Articles from RCC Workshop

"Moving Environments" Explores Film, Emotion, and the Environment

11.09.2014

The collection Moving Environments: Affect, Emotion, Ecology, and Film, edited by Alexa Weik von Mossner, developed from an RCC workshop held in 2011. The articles explore how film represents and shapes human emotion in relation to different environments and what role time, place, and genre play in these affective processes. It includes a contribution by RCC Alumni Fellow Nicole Seymour as well as scholars from around the world.

The collection opens a new discursive space at the disciplinary intersection of film studies, affect studies, and a growing body of ecocritical scholarship. It will be of interest not only to scholars and students working in the field of ecocriticism and the environmental humanities, but for everyone with an interest in our emotional responses to film.
