Navigating Catastrophe: Mapping Climate Crisis Responses Through Technology, Values, and Creative Practice
摘要
This introductory chapter explores the evolving discourse on the Anthropocene, environmental crisis, and technological mediation, situating responses within political, social, and creative domains. It examines global climate commitments, technological transformations, and shifting values in environmental engagement. Drawing from interdisciplinary perspectives, including media studies, new materialism, and ecological aesthetics, it interrogates how digital media, activism, and artistic practices navigate and problematize planetary crises. The chapter underscores the importance of relational thinking, collective inquiry, and creative methodologies in addressing climate challenges, ultimately advocating for sustained engagement with ecological uncertainties and ethical responsibilities.
