What Can Moving images Do? An Ecological Thinking of the Moving Image

s-do/


Issue 32 called for provocations into the human-nature relation through the
questioning power of the moving image. In particular, the editors looked for
contributions that focused on the function of the moving image as a material
artefact or visual object within an ecological milieu or image-world, where
the human relation to nature is rendered open-to-question. Thinking about
the moving image extends to many formats, including panoramas, dioramas,
video art installations, online digital displays, scientific data
schematisation and other visual apparatuses, as well as narrative and
non-narrative film and cinematic projection. We encouraged ecological
approaches to the moving image, broadly comprising ³film, video, broadcast
television, moving computer-generated imagery, and, in short, any
mass-produced moving image technologically within our reach now and in times
to come² (Carroll xxi).
 
This issue considers ³ecological webs² as image-worlds or umwelten and
engages critically with the modes of non-human signification enacted within
moving image media. Theoretical advances in ecocinema, ³eco-cinecriticism²
and ³green film criticism² (Ivakhiv 1) over the last twenty years highlight
that ³the cinematic experience is inescapably embedded in ecological webs²
(Rust and Monani 2). The question of what moving images do ecologically
calls to attention related questions of aesthetics, poetics, politics,
ethics, mediation and representation of the nature of nature and the
non-human. Towards these aims, the editors welcomed submissions from any of
the disciplines that concern themselves, in one way or another, with the
moving image, including film and cinema studies, new media and video,
film-philosophy, literary studies, environmental humanities and associated
disciplines.
