摘要

摘要在联合国2021年气候变化大会（COP26）期间，动物在会议内外的抗议活动中都占据了重要地位。这就引出了一个问题：在气候变化的话语中，动物是如何被描绘的？为了回答这个问题，我们对COP26前后收集的与动物相关的Instagram帖子进行了视觉和话语网络分析。我们提出了四种方式的类型学，其中动物被框定为（1）气候相关问题的隐喻，（2）具有值得尊重的利益的公民，（3）生物多样性或关键生态系统组成部分，以及（4）人类使用的资源，显示了每种框定如何与各种话语和组织/集体行为者联系起来。与之前对气候传播的研究相比，我们的发现表明，更广泛的动物被纳入了气候变化的话语中，人类经常出于各种生态政治目的，同时以多种方式陷害动物。此外，我们的分析表明，与社会其他部门相比，政府组织在气候沟通中对动物问题的关注要少得多。最后，我们的研究结果表明，通过扩大讨论范围和当前生态危机的潜在解决方案，吸引对动物的多样性观点，并避开动物的主导资源框架，可以加强气候变化的讨论。

Animals and climate change: A visual and discourse network analysis of Instagram posts

ABSTRACT Animals featured prominently during the United Nations’ 2021 Climate Change Conference (COP26), both within the meeting and outside during protests. This begs the question: How are animals portrayed in climate change discourse? To answer this question, we conduct visual and discourse network analysis of animal-related Instagram posts collected around COP26. We present a typology of four ways in which animals are framed as (1) metaphors for climate-related concerns, (2) citizens with interests worth respecting, (3) biodiversity or key ecosystem components, and (4) resources for human use, showing how each framing connects to various discourses and organizations/collective actors. Compared to previous research on climate communication, our findings reveal a broader range of animals are integrated into climate change discourse, and humans are often framing animals in multiple ways at once for various eco-political purposes. In addition, our analysis suggests that, compared with other sectors of society, governmental organizations are giving much less attention to animal issues in their climate communications. Finally, our results show how engaging a diversity of perspectives about animals – and eschewing the dominant resource-framing of animals – can enhance climate change discourse by broadening the range of discussions and potential solutions to the current ecological crisis.

期刊介绍： Environmental Sociology is dedicated to applying and advancing the sociological imagination in relation to a wide variety of environmental challenges, controversies and issues, at every level from the global to local, from ‘world culture’ to diverse local perspectives. As an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal, Environmental Sociology aims to stretch the conceptual and theoretical boundaries of both environmental and mainstream sociology, to highlight the relevance of sociological research for environmental policy and management, to disseminate the results of sociological research, and to engage in productive dialogue and debate with other disciplines in the social, natural and ecological sciences. Contributions may utilize a variety of theoretical orientations including, but not restricted to: critical theory, cultural sociology, ecofeminism, ecological modernization, environmental justice, organizational sociology, political ecology, political economy, post-colonial studies, risk theory, social psychology, science and technology studies, globalization, world-systems analysis, and so on. Cross- and transdisciplinary contributions are welcome where they demonstrate a novel attempt to understand social-ecological relationships in a manner that engages with the core concerns of sociology in social relationships, institutions, practices and processes. All methodological approaches in the environmental social sciences – qualitative, quantitative, integrative, spatial, policy analysis, etc. – are welcomed. Environmental Sociology welcomes high-quality submissions from scholars around the world.
