Introduction: Science Studies and the Blue Humanities (2019)

unapi

Special volume on science studies and the blue humanities aimed at answering a few questions: "As oceans and bodies of fresh water increasingly become sites for environmentally oriented arts and humanities scholarship, how can the emerging blue humanities best engage with the theories, questions, paradigms, and methods of science studies? How do questions of scale, temporality, materiality, and mediation emerge in aquatic zones and modes? How can literature, art, data visualization, and digital media best respond to the rapidly developing sciences of ocean acidification and climate change as well as the less publicized concerns such as the effect of military sonar on cetaceans? And how can scholarship in decolonial science studies, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), indigenous sciences, and activist and citizen science become central to the blue humanities?"
