Theme: Environmental Communication and the Construction of Nature
Supervisor: Nico Carpentier
Workplace: Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism (Faculty of 
Social Sciences, Charles University)

Environmental Communication is a growing subfield of Communication and 
Media Studies, with its own academic association (IECA) founded in 2011, 
and a plenitude of academic publications and journals. As climate change 
and environmental issues have forcefully demanded our attention, and 
communication is recognized as being part of both problem and solution, 
there are strong academic and societal needs to further strengthen this 
field, and fill some of the gaps that still trouble it.

This project aims to contribute to the strengthening of Environmental 
Communication by infusing it with the study of what is behind (and 
embedded within) communication, namely the discursive constructions of 
the environment and nature, and the ways that these discursive 
constructions circulate within a diversity of media outlets. Here, we 
have to keep in mind that a multitude of discursive constructions about 
nature exist (ranging from anthropocentric perspectives to so-called 
biocentric perspectives), and that they engage in discursive struggles 
with each other, in other to try to achieve a hegemonic position. These 
discursive constructions also have very material dimensions, as they can 
motivate and legitimate the destruction of natural resources through 
their over-exploitation, or can inspire a variety of activist 
interventions to try to counter this (some of which produce strong 
antagonisms and can thus be highly problematic as well). As the 
human-nature relations are currently being rethought and reconfigured, 
through these discursive struggles, studying how media communicate these 
different discursive constructions about nature is innovative and 
necessary at the same time.

The project will focus on 1/the identification of the discursive 
constructions of nature in the coverage of selected (mainstream and 
alternative) media outlets, 2/the analysis of (the media representation 
of) their discursive struggles, and 3/the role of media in facilitating 
(or disallowing) the communication of these constructions and their 
struggles. As a post-doc project, it will profit from the support of a 
local team of the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism 
(ICSJ), that is involved in (and funded by) the Mistra Environmental 
Communication Research Programme. Through its involvement in this 
research programme, the ICSJ team is already doing research on Swedish 
media (and artistic) representations of the environment and climate 
change, and its enrichment with a multi-country approach will be 
appreciated.
