Transitioning towards a more sustainable world is currently a central topic receiving a lot of attention. As a result, “transitions” are becoming key objects and the drivers of exchanges, communications and controversy in modern society.
This book examines the tensions and controversies surrounding the energy, ecological and social transitions currently underway, and it draws on tools developed in the humanities and social sciences, in particular the information and communication sciences. The various case studies gathered here, written by leading experts in environmental communication, examine a wide range of topics; they explore transitions in a number of different fields, from agriculture to territorial policies, and from online and media communication to mechanisms for citizen participation.
Transitions in Tension features a wealth of original observations and approaches, enabling readers to fully comprehend the range of controversies and issues facing our society
