Abstract:

This open access volume is a call for ecological awareness and action
through communication. It offers perspectives on how we, as humans,
posit ourselves in relation to, and as part of, the environment in
both verbal and non-verbal discourse. The contributions investigate a
variety of situated communicative practices and how they instantiate
and potentially influence our actions.

Through the frameworks of ecolinguistics, multimodal studies and
ecoliteracy, the book discusses how the environmental crisis is
communicated as an urgent global and local issue in a variety of
media, texts and events. The contributions present a wide range of
case studies (including news articles, institutional websites, artwork
installations, promotional texts, signposting, social campaigns and
other), and they explore how communicative actions can help meet the
challenges of ecologically-oriented change. The focus is on the impact
that linguistic and multimodal communication can have on acting in,
with and towards the environment seen as living ecosystems, or
'lifescapes'. The chapters offer a reflection on the way we
experience, endorse, reframe and resist value systems in ecological
communication, and propose alternative and healthier perspectives to
respect and preserve the common and nurturing lifescapes through
awareness and action.
