“Materializing Climate Change: Images of Exposure, States of Exception”

Nicole Shukin

Assessing representations of the north in an artwork and a film, Shukin critiques spectacularized treatments of climate change that prompt public declarations of emergency. Such declarations, she suggests, do more to establish the authority of those who make these declarations, as well as confirm their affiliations with European nation-state sovereignty, than they do to address the conditions of climate change itself.
