  • 1 How Cognitive Frames About Nature May Affect Felt Sense of Nature
    How cognitive frames about nature may affect felt sense of nature connectedness Nadine Andrews The Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business Lancaster University UK [email protected] ABSTRACT Nature connectedness tends to be understood as a relatively stable trait, studied using survey-based methods. But this approach is not well suited to investigating the nuances and unconscious processes of subjective experience. This paper addresses these limitations by using an alternative approach. I analyse the lived experience of nature connectedness using a post-positivist transdisciplinary methodology. Research participants report restorative benefits from connecting with nature but tensions and inconsistencies in their felt sense of connectedness can also be discerned. Using frame and metaphor analysis, I explore how particular ways of conceptualising nature, which can be inferred by use of language, may be contributing to these tensions and inconsistencies. The analysis and interpretation I offer is informed by concepts and theories from ecopsychology, environmental philosophy, cognitive linguistics and ecolinguistics. In this paper, language is understood to be a psychosocial phenomenon. In the research participants’ accounts I find language that promotes the non-human natural world as an object, that abstracts and homogenises living beings and their habitats, that encourages seeing nature as external and separate, and that primes us to be fast and busy. How these conceptualisations could affect sense of connectedness is discussed. The insights generated in this paper contribute to our understanding of nature connectedness as a subjective experience, and the ways in which particular conceptualisations may affect the quality of this experience. The paper also shows the methodological potential of frames and metaphor analysis, and the contribution that ecolinguistics can make to ecopsychology research.

  • Normalizing Human-Animal Power Relations Through Media: Zoo Discourses in Turkey
    Makale gönderilme tarihi: 21.06.2019 Makale kabul tarihi: 9.10.2019 Normalizing Human-Animal Power Relations Through Media: Zoo Discourses in Turkey Sezen Ergin Zengin Dr. Araştırma Görevlisi [email protected] Hacettepe Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Orcid: 0000-0001-5927-5357 Abstract This study examines zoo discourses on media as a conve- nient site for probing into human-animal power relations. A form of critical discourse analysis is carried out in national daily news discourse focusing on how zoo discourses portray animals through lexical choices, grammatical structures, and discursive strategies of capitalism, hospitality, and conservation. These strategies over- all operate to conceal the domination, oppression, and suffering of captive wild animals behind the benevolent image of the zoo insti- tution promoting conservation, education, and recreation. Through language, animals are constructed, on a superficial level, as sub- jects who enjoy their lives on natural habitats with their families. Yet further analysis reveals a power abuse in which animals are objectified and commodified for an exclusively human agenda. The study concludes that through the naturalizing effect of discourses human dominance over wild animals are never questioned and the zoos grant animals an instrumental value rather than inherent value. Key Words: Zoos, news discourses, critical animal studies, speciesism, critical discourse analysis DOI:10.16878/gsuilet.580339 10 İleti-ş-im 31 • aralık/december/décembre 2019 Normalisation des relations de pouvoir entre l’homme et l’animal par le biais des médias: le discours sur les zoos en Turquie Résumé Cette étude analyse le discours portant sur les zoos dans les médias, qui nous permettent d’analyser les relations de pouvoir entre l’homme et l’animal.

  • Ecolinguistics: the Battlefield for the New Class Struggle?
    Language & Ecology 2020 http://ecolinguistics-association.org/journal I nternational Ecolinguistics Association Article Ecolinguistics: The battlefield for the new class struggle? Diego L. Forte University of Buenos Aires, Argentina E-mail: [email protected] Abstract According to its founding fathers, ecolinguistics was conceived as a discipline whose object of study is the relationship of language with its environment; that is, the relationship between humans and non-human animals, plants, minerals, etc. (Fill & Mühlhäusler, 2001). Although its formal beginnings as a discipline occurred at the end of the twentieth century, its background brings together a multitude of critical studies based on well-established traditions, such as critical animal studies, decolonial studies, glotopolitical studies, etc., adopting as framework and theoretical tools different elements from different linguistic subdisciplines: critical discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, etc. But due to this broad approach, at times its critical perspective seems to blur: its “ecological” approach goes after the shallow environmentalism posed by the Brundtland Report (1987) moving away from the Marxian logic of class struggle and does not deepen its analysis enough to identify actors and processes in social practices. Our proposal argues that the critical effectiveness of the discipline must not only be based on a reworking of the concept of social classes, following Laclau and Mouffe (1985), but that the deconstruction of the logic of hegemony must also include the theoretical perspectives that analyse the situation of other oppressed groups: feminist movements, ethnic, sexual, national divergences, etc. Keywords: ecolinguistics, discourse, Marxism, hegemony, oppressed groups 1. Ecolinguistics as a critical perspective The development of ecolinguistics as a discipline is relatively new.

  • An Interview with Arran Stibbe
    Language & Ecology 2016, www.ecoling.net/journal Ecolinguistics in an International Context: an Interview with Arran Stibbe by Guowen Huang [email protected] Introduction Recently there has been a growing interest in the study of ecolinguistic issues in China, and Chinese scholars approach the field from many different perspectives, including the ecology of language, ecological analysis of discourse, and eco-translation studies. As expected, the newly-published book Ecolinguistics: language, ecology and the stories we live by (Routledge, 2015) by Arran Stibbe is becoming popular in China and its Chinese translation is to be published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press in Beijing later in the year. Along with this encouraging moment, an ecology-centred journal in China, the Journal of Poyang Lake, is to have a Special Column in a forthcoming issue featuring Arran’s research on ecolinguistics. I (Guowen Huang) am directing the project which is translating Arran’s book and producing the special column for the Journal of Poyang Lake. I am Director of the Centre for Ecolinguistics at South China Agricultural University (SCAU), China, as well as Dean of the College of Foreign Studies at SCAU. I have previously conducted a significant amount of research on Systemic Functional Linguistics and have been teaching and researching ecolinguistics from the perspective of ecological analysis of discourse. I am organizing the first symposium on ecolinguistics in China, to be held during Nov. 25-27, 2016 at SCAU in Guangzhou, which has attracted more than 200 abstracts/participants, including more than 30 ecolinguistic scholars from outside China.

  • Conference Program
    Association for the Study of Literature and Environment Thirteenth Biennial Conference June, 2019 Dear ASLE Conference Participants: On behalf of UC Davis, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment’s Thirteenth Biennial Conference. It’s an honor to open our campus to you as a resource. We’re proud of the breadth, depth and excellence of our scholarship and research in environmental sciences. UC Davis serves as a model of environmental sustainability, not only to our students, but also to industry and the public at large. The innovations coming out of our Institute of Transportation Studies have shaped the direction of clean-fuel policies and technologies in California and the nation. Our West Village housing community is the largest planned “zero net energy” community in the nation. In addition, our sustainable practices on campus earned UC Davis the “greenest-in-the-U.S.” ranking in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings. We’re working hard to make UC Davis a completely zero-carbon campus by 2025. All of these things speak to our long-standing commitment to sustainability. This conference provides a forum for networking opportunities and crucial discussions to inform and invigorate our commitment to practices that are both environmentally sustainable and socially just. There’s never been a better time to engage our broader communities in conversations about these topics. I want to thank our UC Davis faculty, students and partners for hosting this important conference for scholars, educators and writers in environmental humanities. Enjoy the conference and take time to explore our beautiful campus.

Review: Current status of ethnobiological studies in Merauke, Papua, Indonesia: A perspective of biological-cultural diversity conservation. Biodiversitas 20: 3455-3466. Ethnobiology is a scientific study that examines the dynamic relationship between humans, biota and the environment. In this dynamic relationship, holistic notions that integrate humans and their cultural and biological diversity give more responsibility to ethnobiological studies. This research approach stimulates insights to integrate scientific research with awareness of political and ecological issues, loss of biological resources, including indigenous peoples' struggles over land and resources, identity degradation due to loss of culture and language. Ethnobiological studies undertaken in Merauke, Papua between 2000 and 2017 were reviewed from the perspective of biological- cultural diversity conservation. The aims and results of such published ethnobiological studies were analyzed and we found the failure of such studies in accounting for linguistic diversity in the region while documenting ethnobiological knowledge.

  • Reading Animals Has, of Course
    Reading Animals School of English, University of Sheffield 17-20 July, 2014 Conference Abstracts Keynote Speakers Opening Keynote: Thursday 17th July Susan McHugh, Read Dead: Hunting, Genocide, and Extinction Stories Several contemporary novels, including Linda Hogan’s People of the Whale (2009) and Robert Barclay’s Melal (2002), feature scenes of indigenous hunting of marine mammals gone spectacularly wrong: people are killed, animal deaths are unnecessarily prolonged, and all inhabit polluted landscapes. While in isolation the killings are often seen as exposing the cruelty or unsustainability of hunting animals such as whales and dolphins, reading them into literary history suggests that a more profound linkage of hunting with extinction and genocide stories is emerging. Whereas novels of the previous generation like Leslie Silko’s Ceremony (1986) and Witi Ihimaera’s The Whale Rider (1987) portrayed the native hunter as psychologically and culturally healed, respectively, by returning to a traditionally performed chase of or a modified traditional practice with animals, Hogan’s and Barclay’s hunters are set up to botch the ceremony, and the bloody mess that ensues exposes how the component that once marked the ideals of the hunt – namely, the ability for both hunter and hunted to escape any fixed script – goes missing, and in its stead emerges a cross-species politics of endangerment that concerns the limits of representing human-animal relations more generally and the importance of fiction to making them legible in particular. Susan McHugh is Professor of English and the University of New England, Maine. She is the author of books and essays including Animal Stories: Narrating Across Species Lines (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2011), and Dog (London: Reaktion Books Ltd, 2004); editorial board member of Antennae: The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture, and Humanimalia: A Journal of Human-Animal Interface Studies; Humanities Managing Editor of Society and Animals.

This view has always seemed to me erroneous. Growing up in our own civilization we know little how we ourselves are conditioned by it, how our bodies, our language, our modes of thinking and acting are determined by limits imposed on us by our environment. Knowledge of the life processes and behavior of man under conditions of life fundamentally different from our own can help us obtain a freer view of our own lives and our problems. -Franz Boas OVERVIEW Most observers agree that the balance between human societies and the natural environment has become increasingly fragile. What can anthropology teach us about this development? Does the study of historical and non-Western cultures shed any light on the contemporary environmental crisis and potential solutions? This course introduces the study of human ecology from a global and intercultural perspective. The texts, lectures, films, discussions, and assignments in this course are designed to provide you with: 1. an overview and appreciation of the origins, development, and variation of human ecological knowledge and practices around the world, including foraging, subsistence agriculture, pastoralism, and intensive and industrial agriculture production systems, as well as patterns of distribution and consumption; 2.

The two trends considered are ‘the analysis of ecological discourse’ and the metaphorical ‘language ecology’.
