As representations of a place and its identity assume paramount importance in a globalized, visual, and increasingly ecologically conscious society, a rising, international battle unfolds over Alberta's bituminous sands, pitting independent documentary filmmakers against professional communicators employed by the oil industry and government. Tar Wars will engage scholars and students in communications, film, environmental studies, social psychology, and petrocultures. It also reaches out to decision-makers, activists, and those who wish to explore the intersections of energy, environment, culture, politics, economy, media, and power in the world today."--Provided by publisher.Petroleum industry and tradeOil sands industryAlbertaEnvironment / Petroculture / Film Studies.Petroleum industry and trade.Oil sands industry338.27282Takach Geo983325MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826847603321Tar wars4021931UNINA
