Abstract

Abstract In this article, we analyse mediated representations of elite and non-elite voices about climate change, by juxtaposing two Swedish non-fiction television series: one narrates the work of environmental scientists, the other discusses climate change with diverse citizens in a vox pop format. We argue that the discursive practices of these programmes reproduce the antagonistic subject positions of experts and ordinary people, allocating them radically different positions of power in relation to climate change. Whereas the experts are presented as actors of change with the knowledge to solve the crisis, ordinary people are shown as passive recipients of advice and moral judgment, in need of change. In addition, we highlight the role of media professionals in these articulations. The article shows how these subject positions support persuasionist strategies, but also how the elite/non-elite juxtaposition tends to exclude the latter from a meaningful engagement on equal terms.
“他怎么有资格这么说?”:在瑞典气候变化电视连续剧中构建专家、普通人和主持人的身份
在本文中,我们通过并置两部瑞典非小说类电视连续剧,分析了精英和非精英对气候变化声音的中介表达:一部讲述了环境科学家的工作,另一部以流行的形式与不同的公民讨论了气候变化。我们认为,这些方案的话语实践再现了专家和普通人的对立主体立场,在与气候变化有关的问题上为他们分配了截然不同的权力立场。专家们被描绘成具有解决危机知识的变革行动者,而普通人则被描绘成需要变革的建议和道德判断的被动接受者。此外,我们强调媒体专业人士在这些表达中的作用。本文展示了这些主体立场如何支持说服主义策略,但也展示了精英/非精英并置如何倾向于将后者排除在平等条件下有意义的参与之外。
