This monograph reassesses environmental behavior and messaging and explores the promises of humorous and satiric communication therein. It draws upon a solid and interdisciplinary theoretical foundation to explicate the individual, social, and ecospheric determinants of behavior. Creative works of popular culture across various modes of expression, including \u003ci\u003eThe Simpsons, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e cartoons, are examined to illustrate the strong if underappreciated relationship between humor and the environment. This is followed by a discussion of the instruments and methodological subtleties involved in measuring the impacts of humor and satire in environmental advocacy for the purpose of conducting empirical research. More broadly, the book aspires to participate in urgent cultural and political discussions about how we can evaluate and intervene in the full diversity of environmental crises, engage a broad set of internal and external partners and stakeholders, and develop models for positive social and environmental transformations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to students and scholars interested in environmental humanities, communication science, psychology, and critical humor studies. It can further benefit environmental activists, policymakers, NGOs, and campaign organizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMassih Zekavat\u003c\/strong\u003e is researcher and postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Language and Cognition Groningen, Faculty of Arts, The University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and former Alexander von Humboldt Foundation postdoctoral fellow at Europa-Universität Flensburg, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTabea Scheel \u003c\/strong\u003eis professor in the Department of Work and Organizational Psychology, International Institute of Management and Economic Education, Europa-Universität Flensburg, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 08, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52614074302746,"sku":"9781032473673","price":93.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/5604\/6618\/files\/HnhrjN5pdO9781032473673.webp?v=1785423659","url":"https:\/\/j-s-five-and-dime.myshopify.com\/products\/satire-humor-and-environmental-crises-paperback","provider":"J \u0026 S Five and Dime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
