Coming Soon: TCS Special Issue, 27.2/3, CHANGING CLIMATES
“Climate change is always already social; the social does not need to be added to it, just to be revealed. That is the task of this collection: to use theory to explore the social dimensions of the challenge of the changing climate, so that we can better understand the nature of the epoch we seem to be entering, and what is at stake” (Bronislaw Szerszynski and John Urry, Introduction).
Climate change is the result of, and has consequences for, almost all economic, social and cultural practices around the world. This TCS Double Issue on Changing Climates demonstrates the contribution that social theory can make to addressing this extraordinary challenge. It gathers papers by some of the world's leading authors working on the increasingly complex entanglement of climate and society. The contributors draw on a range of social science theories and concepts, tracing the way that climate science has been produced, organised, mobilised and contested, and exploring the relationships between climate change, politics, global inequity, financial turbulence and life itself. This landmark publication demonstrates how social science can help to illuminate the very nature of the challenge of climate change.
