Environmental Rhetoric and Ecologies of Place (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Goggin, Peter

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Environmental Rhetoric and Ecologies of Place explores some of the complex relationships, collaborations, compromises, and contradictions between human endeavor and situated discourses, identities and landscapes, social justice and natural resources, movement and geographies. This collection serves to "unpack" and grapple with the complexities of rhetoric of presence and addresses the complexities of rhetorical praxis in relation to place. Through case analyses, these essays examine and illustrate the concepts and practices of knowledge making and knowledge distribution at confluences of geographical and geospatial locations as well as human perceptions, experiences, and interpretations of the world, nature, and the environment. These essays challenge us to ponder our futures in the theoretical and lived places we inhabit. In focusing on regional environmental issues, this collection offers a corrective to what appears an increasingly hegemonic discourse of globalization that conceives of the world as flattened.
