Environment and neoliberalism: a critical discourse analysis of three Italian cases
Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2014, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper we will examine the economic integration of environmental discourses using three examples chosen among the three main administrative levels of Italian State: central, regional and municipal. Through the application of Critical Discourse Analysis tools, an interdisciplinary research approach that combines linguistic analysis and social theory, the paper will analyze discursive strategies, interests at stake, use of language and changes of meanings. The selected texts will be interpreted as spaces of representation and social interaction, within an order of discourse dominated by the neoliberal frame.
