Abstract

Culture and the arts—where they are considered at all in environmental debates—are generally viewed as either benign low carbon activities that bring pleasure and meaning, or as irrelevant in the face of existential crisis. As cultural industry scholars, we reject both these readings and instead argue for a critical consideration of the role and potential of cultural activities in the face of mounting crises, environmental and otherwise. At the very least, cultural industries are part of the way we make sense of things and sense making is as vital as ever, but in addition they are huge commercial entities, instruments of public policy across the globe, and, in some cases, major polluters and resource consumers.
