<p class="p7" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 63.8px;font:12px Helvetica">This special issue will examine the ways media mediates our emotional entanglements with ‘nature’. While there is a rich scholarship on film and literature, sentiment in other media engaged
with, exposing or constituting environmental matters has been less fully explored. The special issue aims to broaden this discussion to consider the way photography, comics, visual art, social media and games as well as print and film, might cultivate feeling
for spaces, places and environmental politics. <span class="Apple-converted-space">

<p class="p7" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 63.8px;font:12px Helvetica">Feelings can occupy an ambivalent position in relation to environmental thinking. Ecologies can suffer from an excess of feeling in decision-making: picturesque or sublime landscapes are not
the only ones worth saving. Aesthetic values are not necessarily aligned with ecological ones. Emotions, held strongly, can also lead to feelings of paralysis as we are overwhelmed by visions of environmental destruction. Feelings are central to much environmental
communication: most campaigns are aimed at changing people’s attitudes at the level of feelings as anything else.<span class="Apple-converted-space">
</span>Such emotions have been framed in humanist terms (love of, sympathy for, empathy with ‘nature’) and posthumanist ones (affects and atmospheres, co-constitutions, becoming-with ‘nature’).</p>

<p class="p7" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 63.8px;font:12px Helvetica">We are particularly interested in exploring the concept of sentimentality with all its resonances with hierarchies of value and gender binaries. Some feelings, and the feelings of some people,
are more legitimate than others. Feelings are thought to ‘get in the way’ of objective and rational decision making, and progress. Nonetheless, as David Ingram suggests, “Sentimental attachments to the natural world are, from both an experiential and a political
point-of-view, as important as scientific analyses, and are a vital part of environmental concern.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
