<p class="MsoNormal">We’re still seeking one or two more participants for a AAA/CASCA panel on discourse, landscape, and environment. A draft abstract is below, to be added to and updated as the session is finalized next week.</p>

<span class="normaltextrun"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Whether driven by forces of capitalism or climate change, contemporary transformations of landscape and environment are experienced, narrated, and negotiated through discourse. Building on a rich tradition
in the linguistic-anthropological study of language and landscape, this session also considers how discursive engagements with diverse and changing environments frequently implicate semiotic or language ideological assemblages (Kroskrity 2021). In these cases,
language not only describes and delimits landscapes and their features, but may also be discursively and ideologically grouped together with wide-ranging environmental, cultural, political, and affective phenomena. Examining how people talk about environmental
transitions, including resource extraction, reforestation, and conservation, as well as how they link local landscapes to pieces of linguistic and cultural heritage, the papers in this session contribute to small but growing bodies of work at the intersection
of linguistic and environmental anthropology and in the transdisciplinary field of ecolinguistics.
