Abstract:
Politicization is frequently employed as an analytic concept to explain the relationships between politics and media coverage of climate change. However, relatively few works explore how different notions of politicization are mobilized by actors in media discourses themselves. This article does so via a framing analysis of climate change coverage in Canadian newspapers. I investigate how different relationships between science and politics are conceived and associated with varying positions on climate change. In particular, I examine a supposition in science and technology studies that the media remains committed to deficit models and thus uncritically reproduces the authority of science. Scientistic discourses exist but among a diversity of politicization framings. A key finding is that the strongest appeals to scientific neutrality are associated with climate skepticism. This casts light on the nuanced, strategic \"politics of politicization\" in climate change debates. A more fine-grained and reflexive approach to politicization discourses can help identify productive interventions.
摘要:
政治化经常被用作分析概念,以解释政治与媒体对气候变化的报道之间的关系。然而,相对较少的作品探讨了媒体话语中的参与者如何动员不同的政治化概念。本文通过对加拿大报纸上气候变化报道的框架分析来做到这一点。我调查了科学与政治之间的不同关系是如何被构想的,以及如何与气候变化的不同立场相关联。特别是,我考察了科学技术研究中的一个假设,即媒体仍然致力于赤字模型,因此不加批判地再现了科学的权威。科学话语存在,但存在于各种政治化框架中。一个关键发现是,对科学中立性的最强烈呼吁与气候怀疑主义有关。这照亮了细微差别,气候变化辩论中的战略“政治化政治”。对政治化话语采取更细粒度和反身的方法可以帮助确定富有成效的干预措施。
