Recenzii
‘Arts and cultural institutions are often presented as the good guys in the climate change debate - the alternative to all those nasty oil companies and airlines. The reality, as Toby Miller makes clear with characteristic wit and erudition, is rather more complex. Read it and prepare to be enlightened.’
Kate Oakley, Professor of Cultural Policy, University of Leeds, UK
‘Miller takes no prisoners in this wide-ranging and persuasive indictment of eco-hoodwinkery. Laying bare the high environmental costs of cultural production, he also weighs its institutional complicity with the black art of greenwashing. Required reading for anyone following the material turn in Cultural Studies.’
Andrew Ross, Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis, New York University, USA

Descriere
Greenwashing Culture examines culture’s complicity with our environmental crisis, arguing that first, culture creates its own carbon footprint and second, it provides the gas and petroleum industries with social licenses to operate by accepting sponsorship that imbues corporations from these sectors with a pro-social image. Using BP, Chevron and Shell as case studies, Miller argues that oil companies make cynical use of culture as a means of ‘greenwashing’ their public image, while also considering the work of activists who resist such complicity, such as dissident artists and non-governmental organizations.
