Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of enhancing eco-literacy through pop culture, which is the product of pop culture, such as music, songs, and books in fostering ecological awareness and sustainable practices. It synthesizes current research, identifies the trends and gaps, critically evaluates the impact of various pop culture elements, and suggests directions for future research to better leverage pop culture in promoting eco-literacy.

Abstract

The use of synthetic paints in fine art has raised growing environmental concerns, particularly regarding volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and microplastic pollution. This study investigates the potential of natural pigments and biodegradable binders to serve as sustainable alternatives. It aims to assess their performance through standardized testing of lightfastness, binder compatibility, and environmental impact. A range of mineral pigments (e.g., ochres, sienna, green earth) and botanical lake pigments (e.g., madder, indigo, turmeric) were combined with solvent free binders such as gum arabic, egg tempera, and linseed/walnut oil. Botanical lakes were prepared using alum based precipitation methods. Paint samples were applied to cotton paper and mineral gesso panels, followed by lightfastness testing using ISO Blue Wool standards and ΔE* measurements. Environmental metrics including energy consumption, waste output, and microplastic risk were evaluated using a simplified life cycle inventory (LCIA) framework. The results showed that mineral pigments delivered excellent durability (Blue Wool 7–8), while botanical lakes varied in stability. Madder and indigo were moderately stable, whereas turmeric was highly fugitive (Blue Wool 1–2). Gum arabic and egg tempera demonstrated superior ecological profiles, with zero VOC emissions and high biodegradability. Linseed and walnut oils offered good artistic performance but required careful storage. All tested combinations avoided microplastic generation. These findings confirm that a select range of natural pigment and binder combinations can meet both artistic and environmental standards. The study supports the integration of sustainable materials into fine art practices and provides a model for future research and institutional policy development focused on eco conscious art production.

Abstract

Contemporary musical films are increasingly being used as vehicles for ethnic storytelling. This study investigates how industry practices specifically casting, creative participation, cultural consultation, and marketing strategies shape the authenticity and reception of ethnic representation in four case studies: In the Heights, Coco, Encanto, and West Side Story (2021). Using a comparative content analysis approach informed by boundary making theory and representation studies, the research triangulates production documents, promotional materials, and reception data to examine how participatory inclusion influences narrative integrity. Methodologically, the study applies a multimodal coding framework to assess how structural dynamics influence storytelling from development through distribution. It incorporates data from creative personnel profiles, marketing discourse, and community feedback, enabling a comprehensive understanding of industry driven representation. The results reveal that films involving creators and consultants from target communities tend to offer richer, more nuanced portrayals, while those relying on symbolic inclusion or commodified authenticity risk critical backlash and community disengagement. Casting misalignments, marketing inconsistencies, and lack of structural inclusion are identified as recurring challenges. These findings highlight the need for systemic reform in media production to promote authentic and accountable ethnic storytelling. The study contributes to scholarly debates on cultural representation and offers a replicable model for evaluating equity in media narratives.
