Cultural policy intersects with political, economic, and socio-cultural dynamics at all levels of society, placing high and often contradictory expectations on the capabilities and capacities of the media, the fine, performing, and folk arts, and cultural heritage. These expectations are articulated, mobilised and contested at--and across--a global scale.

Professional sports promote their green credentials and yet remain complicit in our global environmental crisis
Sports are responsible for significant carbon footprints through stadium construction and energy use, player and spectator travel, and media coverage. The impact of sports on climate change is further compounded by sponsorship deals with the gas and petroleum industries--imbuing those extractive corporations with a positive image by embedding them within the everyday pleasure of sport. Toby Miller argues that such activities amount to "greenwashing."

Professional sports promote their green credentials and yet remain complicit in our global environmental crisis
Greenwashing Culture examines culture's complicity with our environmental crisis. It reveals both the social license it often gives gas and petroleum industries to operate and the ecological impact of cultural production itself.
Firstly, the book outlines the basic theoretical concepts and material histories of greenwashing and culture. This introduction includes startling statistics which indicate the true extent of environmental damage film-making, print media and other forms of cultural production can inflict. This is juxtaposed with the culture of celebrity eco-activism...
