Reality offsets: Climate meets capitalism at the Olympic Games
In the era of undeniable climate crisis, investors too have become wary of corporate greenwashing. Far from heralding progress, this development appears to legitimise a collective greenwashing project better described as corporate environmentalism. Through this meta-greenwashing, corporations as a bloc are exploiting their communicative platforms to renarrate climate crisis into climate opportunity, positioning the corporation as an indispensable…
Carbon Partners' and Collaborative Greenwashing: The Sustainability Partnership Between Dow Chemical and the Olympic Games
The multinational corporation, Dow Chemical, became the first-ever 'Official Carbon Partner' of the Olympic Games in 2017, promising to offset the emissions generated by the staging of the Games and associated activities. This article critically analyzes the Partnership's promotional campaign, comprised of rhetorical claims that such 'game-changing' collaborations are 'redefining the role of business in society' in responding to the climate emerg…
Environmental myth-work: The discursive greening of the Olympic Games
Since the 1990s, the Olympic Games has styled itself as an environmental leader, devoting part of its platform to promoting sustainability. Analyzing official Olympic environmental communication reveals a strategy of environmental discourse that is undertheorized in scholarship on environmental communication. Discourse analysis shows Olympic sustainability discourse being punctuated by myth-work: strategic appeals to deeply sedimented myths of hu…
Forward to nature: Ecological subjectivity after the discursive turn
Subversive rearticulation between radicalism and reform: The Case of Ecologism
Ruling ideologies typically erect binaries between acceptable and non-acceptable discourses that work to marginalize dissenting voices. Critical political projects are then forced to choose between ‘purity’, which typically reinforces marginality, and ‘realism’, with its ever-present danger of co-optation. This article contends that a third option exists. The premise of ‘subversive rearticulation’ is that a single, apparently innocuous, articulat…
The intellectual outside: Anti-intellectualism and the subject of populist discourses in Australian newspapers
A discourse analysis of anti-intellectualism in Australian newspapers, this study proceeds from the philosophical and theoretical assumptions of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe's discourse theory, integrating into that framework several methodological tools for close textual analysis. Focusing on four interrelated anti-intellectual themes drawn from a corpus of 60 newspaper articles, it examines the discursive struggles that have hegemonized so…
