environmental discourse  

Definición

  • Discourse is a powerful concept that geographers and others have used to appreciate how nature and the environment—things that are typically thought to be self-evident, presocial, and taken for granted as being outside of, or beyond, politics—are invested with meaning, power, and politics. Thinking of environmental objects (such as a forest, landscape, and nature) as discursive products (i.e., as things made and remade through material and conceptual social labor and connected to deeply situated knowledges and experiences) has greatly opened up geographical understandings of both the “environment” and environmental practice.
