Abstract

Stories matter: as powerful frames for policy and public understanding, but the current narratives about Outback Australia are both confused and often negative. We illustrate this power of stories, including how deliberate framing and story-telling to create a better narrative on some rangeland issues has had positive policy outcomes. Moving to a more intuitive name is one key issue – we suggest that talking of the ‘Modern Outback’ is a powerful change in this regard. We then draw on discussions to provide a set of guiding principles for how to frame writings about the Outback, and give an example of their use.

一个支持澳大利亚内陆未来的故事

故事很重要:作为政策和公众理解的有力框架，但目前关于澳大利亚内陆的叙述既混乱又往往是负面的。我们阐述了故事的力量，包括在一些牧场问题上，刻意构建和讲故事是如何产生积极的政策结果的。换一个更直观的名字是一个关键问题——我们认为谈论“现代内陆”在这方面是一个强有力的改变。然后，我们根据讨论提供了一套指导原则，指导如何构建有关澳大利亚内陆的文章，并给出了一个使用这些原则的例子。

期刊介绍： The Rangeland Journal publishes original work that makes a significant contribution to understanding the biophysical, social, cultural, economic, and policy influences affecting rangeland use and management throughout the world. Rangelands are defined broadly and include all those environments where natural ecological processes predominate, and where values and benefits are based primarily on natural resources. Articles may present the results of original research, contributions to theory or new conclusions reached from the review of a topic. Their structure need not conform to that of standard scientific articles but writing style must be clear and concise. All material presented must be well documented, critically analysed and objectively presented. All papers are peer-reviewed. The Rangeland Journal is published on behalf of the Australian Rangeland Society.
