Synopsis Language as an Ecological Phenomenon by : Sune Vork Steffensen

Moving beyond a more traditional view of language as a discrete sociocultural and cognitive entity that distorts our understanding of surrounding ecologies, this book argues that the starting point for ecolinguistics is an appreciation of language as not just about nature, but of nature. Exploring this conceptual change in the field, the book presents a process view in which language is substituted by languaging, emphasising the bioecologies that we cohabit with numerous other species. It puts forward this perspective by looking at the theoretical considerations behind the understanding of languaging as bioecological, and through examining languaging in various contexts and places. Drawing on examples from across the world, it addresses topics such as climate catastrophes, corporate narratives, questions of ecological leadership, the bioecological implications of the COVID pandemic, and relational landscapes. It also makes use of data from across multiple bioecological settings, including the dairy and agricultural industries.

Synopsis Eighteenth-Century Environmental Humanities by : Jeremy Chow

This groundbreaking new volume unites eighteenth-century studies and the environmental humanities, showcasing how these fields can vibrantly benefit one another. In eleven chapters that engage a variety of eighteenth-century texts, contributors explore timely themes and topics such as climate change, new materialisms, the blue humanities, indigeneity and decoloniality, and green utopianism. Additionally, each chapter reflects on pedagogical concerns, asking: How do we teach eighteenth-century environmental humanities? With particular attention to the voices of early-career scholars who bring cutting-edge perspectives, these essays highlight vital and innovative trends that can enrich both disciplines, making them essential for classroom use.

Synopsis Embracing the salt marsh by : J.A.W. Nicolay

From a modern-day perspective, it may seem odd that people should have chosen to dwell in the open salt-marsh landscape along the Wadden Sea coast. While the beauty of the salt marshes is widely acknowledged, the idea of living there seems to suggest struggle and misery. Yet the salt-marsh settlers, dwelling on their settlement mounds or terps, did not just ‘survive' or ‘get by', but actually managed to live a good life, by embracing this marshy world and its peculiarities. This collection of papers focuses on foraging, farming and food preparation in the context of the salt-marsh environment. The various contributions celebrate the career and work of Annet Nieuwhof, who has been an inspirational colleague and great friend to many of us. She passionately embraced terp research, always actively stimulating cooperation across disciplines as well as national borders. Reflecting some of Annet's wide-ranging interests, the present volume is dedicated to her in friendship and gratitude.

Synopsis International Law of Underwater Cultural Heritage by : Kim Browne

This book brings together three distinct areas of International Law – namely Environmental, Heritage and Ocean Law – to address the international legal protection of historically significant wrecks, with particular focus on the environmental hazards they may pose. The confluence of Heritage Law and the Law of the Sea with International Environmental Law represents an important development in international governance strategies for the twenty-first century, in particular those legal and administrative regimes that concern the world’s oceans and underwater cultural heritage protection. Importantly, connections between international legal regimes, such as the 1982 Law of the Sea, and institutions like the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and United Nations Education Scientific Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), can play a crucial part in governance strategies that involve the regulation of marine pollution and historic shipwrecks.

Synopsis Waddenland Outstanding by : Linde Egberts

The Wadden Sea Region is comprised of the embanked coastal marshes and islands in the Wadden Sea near Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands, and this area retains an exceptional common history in all its aspects: archaeologically, economically, socially, and culturally. Its settlement history of more than two thousand years is unrivalled and still mirrored in the landscape and even though it has never constituted a political unity, it still shares a landscape and cultural heritage. For example, the approaches to water management and associated societal organisation developed in the region during the last millennium have set significant world standards, values which were recognised by UNESCO in inscribing the Wadden Sea on its World Heritage List. This book encompasses the contributions presented at the scientific symposium of prominent scientists who gathered in 2016 in Husum, Germany, a landmark event in sharing knowledge on the common history, landscape, cultural heritage of the Wadden Sea Region.

Synopsis Carbon dioxide removal: Perspectives from the social sciences and humanities by : Anders Hansson

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches are becoming increasingly central to visions of decarbonizing national economies. The past few years have seen an increasing number of countries committed to net-zero targets, preceded by a surge of modelled 1.5°C scenarios envisioning large-scale future CDR deployment. The prospect of CDR deployment raises new complex socio-ecological challenges, and presents new deep uncertainties. These complexities, challenges and uncertainties cannot be investigated using solely the techno-economic modelling and environmental risk-assessment methods that currently dominate the construction of policy-relevant knowledge on CDR. Social sciences and the humanities perspectives on CDR are often restricted to instrumental tasks such as investigating public acceptance, overcoming social resistance or supporting the development of integrated assessment models. There is a need for more diverse investigations of CDR which include not only environmental and techno-economic dimensions, but also explore key societal complexities, challenges and uncertainties. Against this backdrop, we call for submissions on CDR stemming from perspectives within the social sciences and humanities. We encourage novel empirical and theoretical contributions on: – CDR-related policy design or analyses of recent policy developments at sub-national, national and international levels of governance, e.g., in context of climate targets and strategies, climate tipping points, mitigation deterrence or societal transformations.

Synopsis Shipwreck Hauntography by : PROF. SARA. RICH

1. Goes beyond understanding shipwrecks as "dead ships" or "underwater cultural heritage" and challenges the assumptions upon which these common tropes are based. 2. Integrates art practice with archaeological and art historical theory to provide - at last - a critical assessment and theoretical backbone for the middle-aged discipline of nautical archaeology. 3. Combines art historical, archaeological, and artistic epistemologies to formulate new ways of conceptualizing and visualizing the uncanniness of shipwrecks. 4. Includes original artworks produced by the author published for the first time.
