Zusammenfassung

La Terre a-t-elle besoin de héros et de hérauts pour qu’on puisse la sauver, la protéger ? Des expositions au titre évocateur en passant par les « petits pas » de Nicolas Hulot qui a démissionné le 28 août 2018, à l’antenne d’une radio nationale française, France Inter, nous n’avons de cesse de nous trouver confrontés à ce problème crucial : comment communiquer sur la crise environnementale ? Cet appel à contribution pour un colloque international propose d’analyser les mécanismes communicationnels et les facettes de ce souhait de mobilisation porté par les hérauts, professionnels ou non de la communication et des héros de l’environnement, héros ordinaires ou activistes écologistes d’une guerre silencieuse.

Inserat

Participation is possible at a distance or in person.

Argument

Does the earth need heroes and heralds to save it, to protect it? From exhibitions with evocative titles to the “small steps” of Nicolas Hulot who resigned as minister on 28 August 2018, on a French national radio station, we are constantly confronted with this crucial problem: how to communicate on the environmental crisis.

This conference proposes to analyse the communication mechanisms and the facets of this desire for mobilisation carried by the heralds, professionals or not of communication and heroes, environmental heroes (Schneiter, 2018)1, ordinary heroes or environmental activists of a silent war. Anthropocene, “Zadists”, “care” advocates, anti-speciesists, eco-feminists, transhumanists, “collapsologists”... Our era is traversed by movements aiming at different, sometimes contradictory, types of change. The pre-Covid-19 period saw a relatively strong rise in ecological concerns, between climate change and the profession of faith in French municipal elections. This involved in particular part of the socalled “Z” generation. “Réinventer l’humanité”, headlined Le monde diplomatique in April 2020 (Pieiller, p. 12). But in this open public space, with multiple arenas that carry sometimes different environmental discourses, who emerges? Who represents? Who embodies?

The themes of communications

The communications could possibly deal with the following themes, or be transversal:

  • heroes’ stories: how heroic figures are constructed, the modalities of “glorification”, the discourse of martyrs (narratological dimension)
  • the trajectories of the “heroes/heralds”
  • Professionalization pathways
  • Heroes/heralds in strategic communication (NGOs, associations, companies, institutions, think tanks...
  • spontaneous mobilizations and the appearance of spokespersons
  • the criticisms and polemics
  • representation in the media, media cultures and cultural industries (cinema, TV series, novels, comics and cartoons, exhibitions etc.)

Terms and conditions of submission

Proposals for papers, in French, English or Spanish, will include:

  • First name, last name.
  • Titles and functions.
