Quoting "The Environment:: Touchstones On Earth, Donal Carbaugh Jan 2007

Quoting "The Environment:: Touchstones On Earth, Donal Carbaugh

Donal Carbaugh

This essay reflects upon the purposes of studying environmental communication by focusing on the variety of ways we quote ‘‘the environment’’ in our studies. Special attention is given to balancing the twin objectives of speaking about ‘‘the environment,’’ while also listening to what the environment says to us. In the process, we can serve a diversity of peoples, eco-parts and processes, through a language which can keep that diversity in view. How, then, can we assess movement, toward these ends? A proposal is made: We can gather Touchstones on EARTH into our studies, reminding ourselves that: Earth, ‘‘Environment,’’ is doubly …

Methodological Lagniappe: A Walk In Representations Of The Red Stick Farmers Market, Jesica Eileen Speed

LSU Master's Theses

In this thesis, I take you on a walk – a walk in the making of representations – around the Red Stick Farmers Market in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This thesis is written at a moment of instability, or crisis, in this discipline. In a “crisis of representation,” how do we represent anything?

We begin by building the framework for the walk, then tour three areas of ethnographic expansions and alternatives: new ethnography, performative writing, and historicity. John VanMaanen calls …
