Resumen
SAMPAIO, Sofia. Of old and new humanities, of new and old media studies: a critical review of Blow up the Humanities and Greening the Media. OBS* [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.4, pp.200-212. ISSN 1646-5954.
The article develops a critical reading of the books Blow up the humanities, by Toby Miller, and Greening the media, by Richard Maxwell and Toby Miller, both published in 2012, which take two ongoing “crises” - the crisis in the humanities and the environmental crisis (or “eco-crisis”) - as a starting point to propose a renovation in the humanities and in media studies that seeks to recover the materialist strand of cultural studies. In both cases, a radical expansion of the objects and approaches is defended, within the framework of a “robust interdisciplinarity” that combines quantitative and qualitative methods and that values collective, collaborative work.
