| Summary: | All environments are sensory environments: far more than being purely visual, our worlds are configured and our subjectivity is conditioned by the ways our environments feel, smell, taste, and sound. Our efforts to capture and communicate the affective and experiential dimensions of these worlds must seemingly always, then, grapple with the complete spectrum of senses both recognized and unrecognized. Inspired by the significant contributions to green, cultural, and sensory criminologies made by Nigel South, this chapter considers the ways in which the sensorially rich experience of living on a planet undergoing mass extinction events, the collapse of climate stability, pandemics, and the retreat of neoliberal promises of security are communicated in the digital cultures in which so many find their only meaningful contemporary relations. By drawing together an emergent sensory criminology and the foundational critique of eco-cultural relations offered by Brisman and South's green-cultural criminology, this chapter aims to further center the affective and sensory dimensions of ecological subjectivity in criminological analyses of contemporary life on a dying planet. |
