{"product_id":"aquaman-the-war-against-oceans","title":"Aquaman \u0026 The War Against Oceans","description":"The reimagining of Aquaman in The New 52 transformed the character from a joke to an important figure of ecological justice. In \u003ci\u003eAquaman and the War against Oceans\u003c\/i\u003e, Ryan Poll argues that in this twenty-first-century iteration, Aquaman becomes an accessible figure for charting environmental violences endemic to global capitalism and for developing a progressive and popular ecological imagination.\u003cbr\u003e               \u003cbr\u003e Poll contends that The New 52 \u003ci\u003eAquaman\u003c\/i\u003e should be read as an allegory that responds to the crises of the Anthropocene, in which the oceans have become sites of warfare and mass death. The \u003ci\u003eAquaman\u003c\/i\u003e series, which works to bridge the terrestrial and watery worlds, can be understood as a form of comics activism by its visualizing and verbalizing how the oceans are beyond the projects of the “human” and “humanism” and, simultaneously, are all-too-human geographies that are inextricable from the violent structures of capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy. The New 52 \u003ci\u003eAquaman\u003c\/i\u003e, Poll demonstrates, proves an important form of ocean literacy in particular and ecological literacy more generally.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57312418070910,"sku":"NW9781496225856","price":22.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781496225856.jpg?v=1778588082","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/aquaman-the-war-against-oceans","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
