Putting out a call for positive environmental action through communication, this volume studies how we, as humans, position ourselves in relation to, and as part of, the environment in texts, communicative events and the value systems they instantiate. Using the framework of ecolinguistics and ecoliteracy, the book discusses how the environmental crisis is communicated as an urgent global issue in a variety of media, texts and events. Making use of a wide range of sources, including news articles, institutional websites, artwork installations, promotional texts, signposting, and social campaigns, it explores how communicative actions can help meet the challenges of change. In doing so, it highlights the impact that language and communication can have in acting in, with and towards the environment seen as a living ecosystem, or ‘lifescape’. Meanwhile, the variety of viewpoints offered across the chapters allows for a reassessment of the way we experience, endorse, reframe and resist dominant and problematic value systems in communication, giving alternative and healthier perspectives to preserve the common and life-nurturing good of nature.
