ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the conceptual foundations and key theories of ecomedia studies. It provides an overview of the historical development of ecomedia studies and how the field connects with other areas of inquiry, such as new materialism, ecofeminism, postcolonial studies, and Black media philosophy. It discusses key concepts and theories in the field, including how the evolving definitions of media and of ecology shape discourses and attitudes about the interplay between media, technology, communication, and the environment. The chapter concludes by outlining strategies and approaches for future research in ecomedia studies.
