Abstract:

Environmental Awareness and Governance: Ecolinguistic and Discourse
Perspectives is a comprehensive exploration that delves into the
intricate relationship between language, discourse, and environmental
issues. This book begins by examining the role of environmental
governance in Moroccan political parties' electoral programs, followed
by an analysis of how Moroccan online media communicates water stress
as a risk issue. It also provides an ecolinguistic analysis of a
computer-animated Netflix film, “The Sea Beast”, and discusses the
impact of climate change on Moroccan agriculture, particularly
focusing on the “Generation Green” strategy.
The editors and contributors explore the role of translation in the
environmental movement and discusses the shift from the Anthropocene
to the Capitalocene in the context of global climate change. They also
provide a critical discourse analysis of the environmental discourse
of the COP27, highlighting the North-South divide.
The latter part of this book focuses on environmental literacy and
awareness among students and also examines the environmental awareness
of Moroccan university students and its impact on their environmental
practices.
The book further discusses the role of visual language in
environmental representation, using Moroccan cinema as a case study.
It explores the intersection of language, translation, and
posthumanism, focusing on cross-species interaction in Margaret
Atwood's trilogy.
This book concludes with an ecocritical interpretation of solastalgia
in Mohsin Hamid's “Exit West” and a generic, ecocritical reading of
climate change in Kim Stanley Robinson's Science in the Capital
Trilogy. Each chapter provides a unique perspective on environmental
issues, making it a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in
environmental studies.
