This book examines mass communication and civic participation in
the age of oil, analyzing the rhetorical and discursive ways that
governments and corporations shape public opinion and public policy
and activists attempt to reframe public debates to resist corporate
framing. In the twenty-first century, oil has become a subject of
civic deliberation. Environmental concerns have intensified,
questions of indigenous rights have arisen, and private and public
investment in energy companies has become open to deliberation.
International contributors use local events as a starting point to
explore larger issues associated with oil-dependent societies and
cultures. This interdisciplinary collection synthesizes work in the
energy humanities, rhetorical studies and environmental studies to
analyze the global discourse of oil from the start of the twentieth
century into the era of transnational corporations of the 21st
century. This book will be a vital text for scholars in
communication studies, the energy humanities and in environmental
studies. Case studies are framed accessibly, and the theoretical
lenses are accessible across disciplines, making it ideal for a
post-graduate and advanced undergraduate audience in these fields.
