Unlocking Meaning of Embodied Memories from Bushfire Survivors
In Australia, a country ravaged by bushfire, stories of widespread destruction are shared every summer. The 2019–2020 bushfire season in Australia, for example, received global news coverage with heartbreaking stories of lives lost, heroic firefighters killed on duty, over a thousand homes and businesses destroyed, and millions of native animals and their habitats wiped out. In this paper we present a case study of one of Australia’s past catastr…
Teaching the Environmental Humanities
This article provides the first international overview and detailed discussion of teaching in the environmental humanities (EH). It is divided into three parts. The first offers a series of regional overviews: where, when, and how EH teaching is taking place. This part highlights some key regional variability in the uptake of teaching in this area, emphasizing important differences in cultural and pedagogical contexts. The second part is a critic…
Undoing art and oil: An Environmental Tale of Sponsorship, Cultural Justice and Climate Change Controversy
Sponsorship arrangements with fossil fuel companies raise concerns about the appropriation and exploitation of cultural institutions. The concept of cultural justice is proposed to analyze the intersections of institutional critique and struggles over injustice. ‘Liberate Tate’, an artist collective, sought to redefine the oil giant BP’s financial support of Tate art galleries in the United Kingdom. Rejecting the simple description of ‘sponsorshi…
Popularizing dissent: A civil society perspective
This article theorizes civil society groups’ attempts to popularize opposition to genetic modification in New Zealand as deliberative interventions that seek to open up public participation in science–society governance. In this case, the popularization strategies were designed to intensify concerns about social justice and democratic incursions, mobilize dissent and offer meaningful mechanisms for navigating and participating in public protest. …
Social Media and Public Relations: Fake friends and powerful publics
Social media is having a profound, but not yet fully understood impact on public relations. In the 24/7 world of perpetually connected publics, will public relations function as a dark art that spins (or tweets) self-interested variations of the truth for credulous audiences? Or does the full glare of the internet and the increasing expectations of powerful publics motivate it to more honestly engage to serve the public interest? The purpose of t…
Christian lay understandings of preimplantation genetic diagnosis
Focus groups were used to analyse Christian lay public understanding of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), a relatively new biomedical practice. The paper explores how this often controversial genetic technology was contextualised and interpreted through the intersection of religious values and beliefs, secular and cultural knowledges, and lived experience and emotion. For the lay people in our study, PGD often created moral dilemmas that c…
Out of the laboratory: Scientists’ Discursive Practices in Their Encounters With Activists
This article analyses the discursive practices of scientists engaged in controversial science in their narrated accounts of encounters with activists. It explores what happens when scientific credibility and authority are challenged in a public debate on the benefits and risks of such science. The aim is to understand how scientists discursively negotiate and make sense of their encounters with activists, the range of subject positions they claim…
The epistemic struggle for credibility: Rethinking media relations
The challenges of attracting positive media attention are likened to a contest in which various organisations attempt to promote and circulate their version of events; however, this is particularly difficult when attempting to circulate less established, unpopular or critical knowledge. Although complying with, and managing, news values is an important starting point, the need to move beyond news values to consider the commercial values and reali…
Public‐private partnerships: Consultation, cooperation and collusion
In late 2002, public‐private partnerships (PPP) rose to the attention of the New Zealand public and gained media attention due to what became known as the ‘Armstrong affair’. This paper provides an overview of the Armstrong affair and of the issues engendered by the affair for the formation of policy in relation to PPP. The most fundamental of these issues was the correct relationship between the public and private sectors. The Armstrong case ill…
Sabotage and subterfuge: Public relations, democracy and genetic engineering in New Zealand
This article examines the public relations management of communication about genetic engineering in New Zealand. The theme is explored through an analysis of work developed by the consultancy Communication Trumps for, on the one hand, a private company involved in genetic research on fish, and, on the other hand, a government-supported public information campaign about genetic engineering. In relation to the issues management strategies employed …
Politics as Destiny, Duty, and Devotion
This article examines the narratives that New Zealand women politicians recounted to explain and justify their entrance into public life. Within their narratives, the women drew upon archetypal ideals that are identified in this article as Joan of Arc, the Dutiful Daughter, Manifest Destiny, the Reluctant Bride, and Lady Bountiful. Each archetype represented a discursive strategy that functioned to establish a positive public image for the women …
