The authority of Western-style maps as presented in news media and elsewhere is often taken for granted—colonial cartography exerts powerful, typically unquestioned, influence upon peoples’ understandings of cultural geographies and associated land-based relationships. Such dynamics are particularly germane to consideration of Indigenous environmental and territorial concerns and associated resistance actions across Turtle Island / North America and elsewhere around the world. I present Indigenous mapping traditions and contemporary cartographic interventions as inspiring counterexamples for shifting public narratives and understanding of Indigenous territories, environmental knowledge, and related issues within news media and beyond.","PeriodicalId":235953,"journal":{"name":"Media+Environment","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129398229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

James","doi":"10.1525/001C.18859","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1525/001C.18859","url":null,"abstract":"This article intervenes in disaster media research by investigating the complex system of mediation that is required to mitigate coral disease and to monitor coral rescue and care. Stony coral tissue loss disease, discovered in 2014, has rapidly infected more than 50 percent of the Florida Reef Tract, the only living barrier reef in the continental United States. In response, reef managers have established a coral rescue team tasked with carrying out a phased coral rescue plan. In conjunction with that plan, the Coral Rescue–Coral Monitoring Dashboard interface and a corresponding Coral Rescue photo series hosted on Flickr were launched in 2019. This article explores the Dashboard and the Flickr photo series together as a single form of media introduced and discussed as “intermediation monitoring.” As a dynamic human-animal interface where coral tissue emerges, the Dashboard materializes coral agency and instantiates protocols for care: collection, gene sampling, and preparation for housing and transport to land-based aquarium facilities. The article further demonstrates how complex systems can be connected to one another—Dashboard to photos, technological system to the system of living things, and complex coral systems to human systems—in order to produce the mutually constitutive human-animal relationship between corals and humans as caregivers across the corals’ lives. Also emphasized are the ways that digital animal-human interfaces can be used to enact disaster relief.","PeriodicalId":235953,"journal":{"name":"Media+Environment","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114178931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of the city's high-rise apartment complexes and skyscrapers have gaping holes in their middle sections. In accordance with local lore and the feng shui (literally \"wind and water\") principle of not cutting off good energy flows, these holes let mythical dragons fly through the buildings (figure 1). It turns out that these stunning architectural features also have the pragmatic effects of increasing air ventilation and creating breezeways. Letting high-rise buildings breathe through these dragon holes is one way to facilitate the external movement of the tropical air and create an optimal \"wind environment\" in Hong Kong's densely built urban space, a place where cosmology and engineering come together (Lo 2018; Keegan 2018; Chinese University of Hong Kong, Department of Architecture 2005).","PeriodicalId":235953,"journal":{"name":"Media+Environment","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129045997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a world of socio-ecological crises, many people have taken up intermedia as a form to expose the horrors of the global chain of manufacture and consumption, the dehumanizing aspect of the assembly line, the brutality of animal products, and globally manufactured waste.

Each of these terms presupposes something a little different. And one could add the terms media environment—often an industrial or a marketing concept; mediated environment—the technologizing of a place such as the public library or the deep sea; and environmental media—a pairing used to denote both humanistic explorations of environmental themes and issues in movies, television programs, games, and so on, and, in scientific usage, categories of material such as air, water, and earth. Exemplifying the latter usage, a US Environmental Protection Agency (2018) webpage employs the heading \"Contaminated Media at Superfund Sites\" to list—as media—mine lands, sediments, groundwater, and soil. Let us take the first case: media and the environment. In it, the latter term is clearly identifiable as an object—of concern, of study, of measurement, and of management. It is a conceptual construct of the mid-twentieth century, forged out of multiple strands including \"nature\" (in contrast to culture) and \"natural history,\" \"ecology\" as a field of study focused on evolving biophysical relationships, and physical and biogeochemical processes sliding along from the most local to the most global of earthly scales. Yet to the extent that it is singular (the environment), it is all the more separated from the human species that is assumed as its counterpart. \"The environment\" today registers most commonly as a set of issues (of climate change, deforestation, desertification, ecological","PeriodicalId":235953,"journal":{"name":"Media+Environment","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115146563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fires were considered to be among the most extreme in California's history and were attributed in part to changes in climate and land use. In the process of burning hundreds of thousands of acres of land, the fires created pollution that led to an air quality emergency. At one point, during mid-November 2018, the media widely reported that cities including San Francisco, Sacramento, and Stockton had higher levels of pollution than Delhi or Beijing (Azad 2018). While varying data sources were referenced to support these claims, the most common source reported was from the PurpleAir sensor map and platform, which produced an animation to demonstrate the elevated levels of particulate matter in California (figure 1) (Jeung 2018). With a worldwide network of around two thousand sensors and growing, PurpleAir provides air quality measurements in locations that might be remote or lacking in air quality infrastructure. What is notable about this network is that it is not the product of governmental intervention but rather is driven by individuals and community groups seeking to monitor environmental pollution.","PeriodicalId":235953,"journal":{"name":"Media+Environment","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128770602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
