INTERVIEWEE: SEAN CUBITT

Claire (Molloy) Parkinson’s research has much contributed to the discussion of animal representation in the media. How do mainstream film, television, advertising, videogames and newspapers engage with topics such as vivisection, hunting, animal performance, farming, meat eating and animal control? In this interview, she discusses environmental issues and media representation with Professor of Film and Television, Sean Cubitt whose research on the history of media technology, media art history, and the relationship between environmental and post-colonial criticism constitutes an essential tool for the analysis of
recent anthropogenic imagery.
