Committee Chair signature: From prophecy to advocacy: A rhetorical analysis of Al Gore’s enactment of climate crisis management Kathleen P. Hunt B.A. Media Studies, UNCG 2007 Submitted to the Department of Communication in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication May 14, 2009 Committee: Advisor: Dr. Stephen Depoe First Reader: Dr. Suzanne Boys Second Reader: Dr. William Jennings Abstract The purpose of this study is to engage in a “rich…robust explanation of the communication practices that constitute, sustain, and transform environmental crises” (Schwarze, 2007, p. 92). In undertaking this task, I propose an analogy comparing Al Gore, an environmental activist, to a crisis manager in an organization. The focus of this study will be the ways in which Gore creates a sense of urgency while also mobilizing his audience to action. Combining the application of an organizational communication perspective, enacted sensemaking, with rhetorical analysis, this study seeks to build climate crisis communication theory. Traditional crisis management literature tends to limit analysis to the strategies used by managers to re-actively frame an organizational crisis.
