/Ephemeral Coast: Visualizing Coastal Climate Change/ considers the ways 
that art can offer a means through which to discover, analyze, 
re-imagine and re-frame emotive discourses about the ecological and 
cultural transformations of the coastline. This edited anthology takes 
ephemerality as its central conceptual and methodological framework and 
presents a series of essays that create interconnections between 
environmental and social considerations of the coast, a succession of 
embodied creative practices, and shifting regional geographic 
identities. The book presents a series of specific case studies of 
artistic practices and strategies that seek to capture the rewriting of 
cartographic maps that are being reshaped by rising seas, coastal 
flooding and catastrophic weather. The essays in this edited volume 
engender creative strategies for understanding new and uncertain coastal 
ecologies and the loss, expulsion or destruction of their associated 
cultures, habitats, species and ecosystems. The anthology also looks at 
the historical, mnemonic and contemporary transitional conditions of 
‘conflicted’ coastal spaces in which empire, modernity and globalization 
press on coastal erosion and incursions, proliferate it with trivial 
plastics, pollution and disposable attitudes, and bring vulnerable 
communities into uncertain futures.
