It has become a truism that capital circulates that data populations and materials flow that
money offers liquidity. Placed at the intersection of art media and cultural studies as well
as economic theory the volume investigates the Cultural Logic of Environmentalization. As
flows circulations and liquidity resurface in all aspects of recent culture and contemporary
art this volume investigates the hypothesis of a genuine cultural logic of
environmentalization through these three concepts.It thus brings together two areas of research
which have been largely separate. On the one hand the volume takes up discussions about
ecologies with and without nature and environmentalization as a contemporary form of power and
capital. On the other hand the volume takes its cue from Fredric Jameson's notion that each
stage of capitalism is accompanied by a genuine cultural logic. The volume introduces this
current of materialist thinking into the ongoing discussions of ecologies and
environmentalization. By analyzing contemporary art architecture theater films and
literature the 15 contributions by scholars and artists explore different fields where liquid
forms semantics of flow or processes of circulation emerge as a contemporary cultural
logic.With contributions by: Ursula Biemann Martin Doll Katerina Genidogan Sebastian Kirsch
