{"product_id":"aquaman-and-the-war-against-ryan-poll-9781496225856","title":"Aquaman and the War Against Oceans: Comics Activism and Allegory in the Anthropocene","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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Poll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496225856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496225856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Ryan Poll","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071514112255,"sku":"9781496225856","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76b4e982-16e9-4a24-bff8-40161ce4e16b.jpg?v=1685436548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aquaman-and-the-war-against-ryan-poll-9781496225856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
