The article is titled “Jewish ‘Ghosts’: Judit Hersko and Susan Hiller and the Feminist Intersectional Art of Post-Holocaust Memory,” eds., Stacy Schwartz, and Dereck Conrad Murray.
I am excited that I will be giving an online book talk with the installation artist Judit Hersko who is one of the artists I write about in my book and the environmental humanities scholar Cheryl J. Fish on November 15th! You are invited to attend! It is for a month-long environmental humanities initiative in Helsinki, Finland.
Alice Oates’ from Cambridge University in H-Environment: “This is a book capable of expanding a reader’s understanding whether they are drawn to it from the worlds of art, activism, critical scholarship, or some combination thereof. Connecting what is often separated, Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics is a vital read for artists, activists, and academics alike.”
Barbara Ann Opar writes in her review for the Arts Libraries Society of North America: “Bloom’s scholarship makes an important contribution to the literature for institutions with graduate programs and/or libraries which aim to include diverse views of the global environmental crisis.”
Paromita Patranobish writes in her review for the Journal of Ecohumanism: “The “justice-attentive aesthetic research practices” (p. 5) in Bloom’s book(chapters 4 and 5 co-written with Elena Glasberg) respond to the violence of visual foreclosure by foregrounding new ways of imagining contested spaces, highlighting industrial capitalist deployments of polar topographies that remain absent from representational parlance, and creating unconventional juxtapositions, continuities, and collaborations.”
Isabelle Gapp writes in her review for Art History: “In Lisa E. Bloom's ambitious work, ‘Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics,’ readers are taken on a captivating journey into the world of contemporary art that responds to the urgent issues of climate change, offering fresh perspectives and thought-provoking insights into the Arctic and Antarctic regions.”
