Environmental organizations and the discursive construction of climate change: re-reading activism in the British press

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Climate change is a contested issue: the complexity and the (relative) uncertainties that characterize this problem generate much debate around its significance and implications. The paper will hold that the main form of intervention of environmental NGOs on the issue is to question and challenge the meaning-claims advanced by other socio-political actors. I will focus on the national level, more specifically on the United Kingdom, in the period 1988-1997. The press will be examined as one of the arenas for the discursive construction of climate change. The goal will be to analyse the representation of multiple social voices and assess the contribution of the press to the social construction of ethical and social values relevant for decision-making on climate change, such as responsibility and equity. Contestation and coalescence of views will deserve special consideration.
