Trama

This book is an innovative introduction to the meaning and use of language, specifically in terms of the study of environment and the formulation of policy. It draws on a wide range of sources, from the mass media in North America, Britain and elsewhere to specialist articles written about environmental issues wherever they occur.

The book focuses on rhetoric and discourse in environmental issues. Based authoritatively on both cultural and environmental studies, it reflects the backgrounds of both authors. It also deals with the historical background and contemporary usage in both the academic and public domains. This book encourages reflexive insight into the language people use to write about the environment, how that language transmits feelings, shapes ideas, and connects visions. Using illustrative quotations from a wide variety of publications about environmental issues, Myerson and Rydin demonstrate how crucial it is for writers and speakers about the environment to at least attempt to speak the same language.





Note Editore

First published in 1996. “Environment” challenges modern knowledge and its institutions: academic disciplines, research groups, journals and presses, syllabuses and texts, professions and data banks, media experts and policy advisors. The language of environment makes no policy proposals, it is not prescriptive. But it is an attempt to think about the cultural context of all proposals and prescriptions, the cultures of authority and expertise in our time. How is knowledge made to count, and how do all the different claims connect, or collide?
