Beyond the post-political zeitgeist 2.0
Book Contribution - Chapter
This chapter calls for a reorientation of research aims in the field of environment and communication towards the politics of media and communication in liberal democratic societies and the relationship between media(ted) discourse, power and democratic politics. Drawing from the literature on agonistic democracy, post-politics and the populist moment, it discusses the literature on the de/politicization of environmental discourse and politics, before illustrating how a framework of agonistic media pluralism can be used to draw conclusions about the contribution of mediated public discourse in facilitating or impeding democratic debate and citizenship.
