Ph.D. Project

Conflicting interests and values lie at the core of today’s most challenging climate and environmental issues. The way we discuss a specific political issue establishes the framework for which arguments can be included and which political solutions are viable. This project aims to trace how argumentation circulates across texts in the political, bureaucratic, and public spheres. Through a combination of close readings, digital corpus analysis, and qualitative interviews, an empirical analysis will be carried out on two Norwegian cases where climate and environmental perspectives are central: resource rent taxation on salmon farming and reduction of meat consumption as climate change mitigation. Both issues sparked polarized debates, including a wide array of texts, genres, actors, and conflicting interests. The central research question is: How do democratic processes handle climate and environmental issues where interests and values clash, and who wields the power of definition?
