Abstract (sommario):

Voluntary standards certifying environmental qualities of labeled products have proliferated across sectors and countries. Effectuating these standards requires the collaboration among and between creators (typically firms and nongovernmental organizations) and adopters (firms across a particular supply chain). However, the need to collaborate does not rule out the presence of controversy. Drawing on the case of the Marine Stewardship Council, a leading seafood standard to conserve the world’s threatened marine fauna, we analyze how this controversy, from economic and sociologic vantage points, impacts a sustainability transition. In essence, interest divergence drives controversy over standard design, which spurs controversy over standard effectiveness and prompts the proliferation of competing standards. Controversy is magnified by the opacity or nontransparency of the fields which such standards seek to govern. We conclude that, while interest divergence and field opacity entail inherent controversy over voluntary environmental standards, the impact of this controversy on sustainability transitions is typically predominantly positive.

Abstract (sommario):

When the Advisory Report for the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans was released in February 2015, news outlets and other media platforms quickly zeroed in on some of the report’s most controversial guidelines. Roughly one week after the report was released, National Public Radio released a news story titled “Will the Dietary Guidelines Consider the Planet? The Fight is On,” discussing the heated controversy that was already brewing over a particular recommendation that addressed the topic of environmental sustainability.This recommendation essentially warned that current dietary patterns in the United States have created serious environmental problems that threaten long-term food security, and therefore the guidelines should not only recommend dietary changes that support human nutrition, but that also support the consumption of more environmentally sustainable foods.

Abstract (sommario):

This doctoral submission grew out of a series of long form documentaries that I wrote, produced, and directed between 1993 and the present. The films, which were broadcast on US television's PBS network, all deal with scientific, medical, or environmental issues that developed into prominent national and international controversies. DVDs and scripts of the seven programs are provided along with a detailed overview. The submission is organized as three projects and an overview. 1. Project One (discussed in chapters 3-7) consists of three documentaries: the first about a novel therapy for autism ; the second dealing with the alleged health effects of power line electromagnetic fields ; and the third focused on the silicone breast implant controversy. 2. Project Two (discussed in chapters 8-11) consists of programs on nuclear energy, Gulf War Syndrome, and genetically modified foods. 3. Project Three (discussed in chapters 12-14) features a two-hour special investigation of global warming. 4. The Overview, Communicating Controversy in the Mass Media not only provides an overarching analysis of the portfolio of films and the attendant theoretical issues, but also serves to summarize the works themselves. In the Project sections of the written overview (chapters 3-14), the analysis is interwoven with extracts from the various documentaries. This portfolio and overview tells the evolving story of a body of work at the intersection of documentary, investigative journalism and science. It reveals the journey of one producer who started out with an interest in unpacking complex controversies, but became increasingly fascinated with the psychological and political dimensions of these narratives. Whether a particular controversial belief holds up under scrutiny is undoubtedly important. But there are other fascinating questions: why do people adopt such beliefs in the first place; why do individuals cling to their beliefs in the face of contrary scientific evidence; and what roles do special interests and the media play in amplifying or attenuating the public's hopes and fears? This portfolio and overview, therefore, not only examine a series of high profile controversies, but go further by: explaining the process by which these topics were turned into documentaries; exploring the way humans analyze, perceive and communicate benefits and risks; and critically examining the validity and ethical standing of modern television journalism. This submission represents a significant contribution to knowledge in several ways. First this series of in-depth, original investigations of environmental and health controversies from one producer is unparalleled in broadcast journalism. Second, the overview's analysis synthesizes and extends a wide range of social science research on risk assessment, risk perception and risk communication and applies this research to the featured controversies and the media's role in them. Third, the portfolio and overview reveal how a blend of documentary, journalism and science is an especially effective way of advancing public understanding of and engagement with modern scientific controversies and goes on to suggest some exciting new directions for communicators. Finally, the case studies in this portfolio provide a basis of knowledge about how communicators can effectively use audiovisual media to navigate the world of risks and benefits that permeates many of society's most crucial policy dilemmas.

Abstract (sommario):

Understanding climate change as a knowledge controversy, this thesis provides new insights into the form, value and impact of the climate change debate on science and policy processes. Based on 99 interviews in New Zealand and the United Kingdom as well as social network analysis, it provides an original contribution to knowledge by identifying previously unknown sites of knowledge contestation within the climate change debate, in addition to contributory factors, and potential solutions to, debate polarisation. It also addresses a fundamental gap in the literature regarding the impact of controversy on the production of scientific knowledge and policy decision-making. This thesis comprises five standalone papers (Chapters 2-6) which together explore climate change as a knowledge controversy using frameworks from science and technology studies, sociology and geography. Chapter 2 finds that the most central blogs within the climate sceptical blogosphere predominantly focus on the scientific element of the climate debate. It argues that by acting as an alternative public site of expertise, the blogosphere may be playing a central role in perpetuating doubt regarding the scientific basis for climate change policymaking. Chapter 3 suggests that the binary and dualistic format of labels used within the climate debate such as “denier” or “alarmist” contribute towards polarisation by reducing possibilities for constructive dialogue. Chapter 4 investigates rationales for debate participation and argues that identifying and emphasising commonalities between previously polarised individuals may serve to reduce antagonism within the climate change debate. Chapter 5 investigates the impact of controversy on the production of scientific knowledge and finds that climate scientists identify substantial impacts on their agency as scientists, but not on scientific practice. It argues that this distinction indicates that boundarymaking may be understood as a more active and explicit process under conditions of controversy. Finally, Chapter 6 introduces the concept of post-decisional logics of inaction, emphasising the role of place in determining the influence of controversial knowledge claims on climate change policymaking. These findings make explicit the underlying politics of knowledge inherent within the climate change debate, and emphasise the need for a more attentive consideration of the role of knowledge, place and performativity in contested science and policy environments.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation is a case study of the 1926 to 1984 High Ross Dam Controversy, one of the longest cross-border disputes between Canada and the United States. The controversy can be divided into two parts. The first, which lasted until the early 1960s, revolved around Seattle’s attempts to build the High Ross Dam and flood nearly twenty kilometres into British Columbia’s Skagit River Valley. British Columbia favoured Seattle’s plan but competing priorities repeatedly delayed the province’s agreement. The city was forced to build a lower, 540-foot version of the Ross Dam instead, to the immense frustration of Seattle officials. British Columbia eventually agreed to let Seattle raise the Ross Dam by 122.5 feet in 1967. Following the agreement, however, activists from Vancouver and Seattle, joined later by the Upper Skagit, Sauk-Suiattle, and Swinomish Tribal Communities in Washington, organized a massive environmental protest against the plan, causing a second phase of controversy that lasted into the 1980s. Canadian and U.S. diplomats and politicians finally resolved the dispute with the 1984 Skagit River Treaty. British Columbia agreed to sell Seattle power produced in other areas of the province, which, ironically, required raising a different dam on the Pend d’Oreille River in exchange for not raising the Ross Dam. I make two broad arguments about the controversy that differ from how stories of environmental conflict are usually told. First, the two types of politics that defined each era of the six-decade controversy – the politics of development and the politics of the environment – were not antithetical; rather, both were part of a larger tension between modernization and the politics of place. Politicians had to balance large-scale, universalized ideas about both dams and wilderness with sentiment tied to territorial boundaries, and often delayed or deferred making decisions about the controversy as a result. Second, representatives from various levels of government in Canada and the United States eventually solved this tension with a type of liberal environmentalist compromise that hinged on the belief that residents had a right to both cheap energy and pristine nature.

Abstract (sommario):

In 1969 a German company, Badishe Anilin und Sodafabrik (BASF), sited a petrochemical facility in Beaufort County, South Carolina. Protests broke out, largely led by Charles E. Fraser, a man well-known for developing Beaufort County's Hilton Head Island into a famous Southern resort community. However, Beaufort's black residents largely supported the construction of the facility, an act that has been traditionally reduced to their attempts to secure jobs. Given that the majority of Beaufort's black residents lived in such poor conditions that they suffered myriad diseases, this paper argues that black Americans were instead engaged in ecological struggles within the confines of their homes.

Mando, Justin D. "Fracking and the Construction of Proximity: The Public Rhetoric of Place in an Environmental Controversy". Research Showcase @ CMU, 2016. http://repository.cmu.edu/dissertations/846.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

his dissertation investigates the rhetorical strategies of speakers at county-level public hearings on hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) with specific focus on the role of the place-based appeal as an argumentative resource to deliberative rhetoric. This study begins with a March 10, 2011 hearing on hydraulic fracturing held at the Allegheny County Courthouse and expands to include seven other public hearings on the same topic. These public hearings are viewed as sites of “ordinary democracy” where local government and citizens work vocally for the common good of their community. The ordinary democracy approach requires a withholding of normative theories of the public sphere to first study democracy as it exists in its local institutions. To examine this corpus of public deliberative rhetoric by citizen speakers, this study uses a combination of discourse analysis, rhetorical analysis and computer-aided corpus analysis. My analysis reveals that place-based arguments are a ubiquitous rhetorical resource in the dispute over hydraulic fracturing and perhaps more broadly. In the hydraulic fracturing controversy, fracking supporters (pro-frackers) and opponents (anti-frackers) use their experience in places to build ethos, communicate risk, identify with their audience, and to advance deliberative argument. Despite these common aims, pro- and anti-frackers represent places in markedly different ways. Pro-frackers tend to represent places from an “aerial view” that is zoomed out and emphasizes coverage over detail. Anti-frackers use a different strategy that presents an “on-the-ground” view of the places they depict, providing detailed representations of single scenes. In my second chapter, I show that anti- and pro-frackers use synecdoche differently to represent natural, industrial and home sites as, respectively, a whole made of unique parts or a whole that subsumes its parts with implications on the need to protect these places. In the third and fourth chapters, I introduce vicarious proximity appeals and use them as a unit of analysis to further differentiate rhetorical strategies used by pro- and antifrackers. Vicarious proximity appeals are first-person descriptive accounts that bear witness to changes in places. These appeals are attempts to provide audience members with the vicarious experience of being in a place. Speakers at the hearings report how places have transformed over time, such as state park space that is now the site of a drilling operation or a small town previously destitute that is now bustling. Speakers use these appeals because they believe if the audience experienced what they have experienced, their positions on the issue would match. As a unit of analysis, vicarious proximity appeals show how place is used in deliberative argument, but it also reveals micro-rhetorical features of place representation that are used as a strategy of apologia, or image repair. I conclude by arguing that place-based rhetoric is a valuable tool in public deliberation to communicate risk, identify with audiences, and establish ethos. Place-based rhetoric also functions as an interface that connects the global and the local. Supported by the differing representational practices of the groups I have studied, my dissertation demonstrates the power of the discursively-constructed place as a lens for analysis and insight. My work also encourages citizens to draw on shared places as a rhetorical resource when they go public.

Abstract (sommario):

The controversy over siting a high-level radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, has engaged the southern Nevada community in recent years. This high-profile project has brought a critical eye on other environmental management activities, especially in the neighboring Nevada Test Site. Although radioactive waste management activities have been ongoing at the Nevada Test Site for over 40 years, there is renewed scrutiny on these activities and there is a growing community interest in pursuing alternative waste management strategies. This paper reviews the active role that the University of Nevada, Las Vegas has played in promoting public awareness, understanding, and participation.

Abstract (sommario):

Controversy continues over the shape of the dose-response curve describing the risk of stochastic health effects (cancer and hereditary disorders) following exposure to low doses of ionising radiation. Radiological protection is currently based upon the assumption that the dose-response curve has no threshold and is linear in the low dose region. This position is challenged by groups suggesting either that this approach seriously underestimates the true risk at low doses or that low-level exposure results in no risk (a threshold dose exists) or even a beneficial effect (“radiation hormesis”). In this paper, we examine the epidemiological and radiobiological bases of the linear no-threshold model and some of the alternatives that have been proposed. We conclude that the evidence for a material deviation from a linear no-threshold dose-response relationship at low doses is not persuasive and that the standard model provides the most parsimonious description of the available scientific evidence.

Abstract (sommario):

During the last two decades, several research groups as well as consultants have been analysing the environmental impacts of incineration in comparison to other waste treatment options. Methods and models for describing these systems have been developed. Systems studies on local, regional and national level have been performed using a wide range of different modelling approaches. The aim of this paper is to describe the environmental performance of incineration with energy recovery in Europe in comparison with other options for waste treatment/recovery. This includes identifying key factors that largely affect the outcome from environmental systems studies where such comparisons are made. The paper focuses on mixed solid waste and on waste fractions where there has been a lot of controversy whether the material should be recycled, incinerated or treated biologically (e.g. paper, plastics, compostable material). The paper is based on a meta-study, where the above research field is mapped out in order to gather relevant systems studies made on local, regional and national levels in Europe. By thoroughly examining these studies, conclusions are drawn regarding the environmental performance of incineration with energy recovery and regarding key factors affecting the environmental results.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract It is a striking and happy reality today at the same time, marked universally: What it is agreed to call the nuclear controversy is remained circumscribed with nuclear energy and rather confined with the industrialized countries. The other economic and social applications of the nuclear techniques experience a very important development all over the world and which has to continue. The countries of intermediate socio-economic level do not escape this report. And even if these countries have, generally, slightly resorted to nuclear energy, the World Energy Conference (the USA, 1999) provides that nuclear energy will know in the court - medium term a rise in the emerging countries which will come to compensate for its relative retreat in the industrialized countries. There is consequently a number unceasingly crescent of “small producers” of radioactive waste particularly in the emerging countries but, unfortunately, this waste is not dealt with in a rigorous and exhaustive way, generating a potential serious threat engraves for the people and the environment. The analysis of this situation, from the case of Tunisia, reveals the following cause: miss of infrastructures, qualified personnel, financial means and impossibility of coping with these difficulties without international co-operation there. In this communication we propose a strategy, on a 20 years horizon of management of the radioactive waste for Tunisia taking account of the means of the country and the essential contribution of the co-operation. We make share in this respect already committed experiment of the three-way co-operation Tunisia - IAEA - Belgium. The strategy that we propose articulates on the following points: 1. Definition of the long-term objectives and the principles; 2. The institutional and regular project; 3. The inventory of the radioactive waste; 4. The planning of the formation; 5. The project of a pilot unit for waste processing and storage; 6. The question of the evacuation; The above actions are evoked in interference with the role of the international co-operation.
