近40年来我国环保传播的研究谱系与学术展望

Research Pedigree and Academic Prospect of Environment Communication in China over Last Four Decades

从古希腊时期柏拉图对环境的忧思到工业社会的环境保护运动,人类从未停止对环境议题的思考。在当今的媒介化社会,环保传播在生态文明建设中的作用越来越明显,有关环保传播的研究也成为近若干年来学界关注的热点,但是对环保传播的系统梳理和研究甚少。本文回顾了国内外环保传播实践,并以1979年以来环保传播研究成果为研究对象,从研究领域、现实困境、环保传播教育、话语实践、历史演进、过程结构等方面进行了梳理,认为我国环保传播研究成果越来越丰富,其中不乏精品力作,但也发现研究视角和方法较为单一、学理探讨乏力等问题。笔者认为当下的环保传播研究应立足新时代社会发展的要求,从理论体系和话语实践两个方面展开,聚焦新媒体环境下环保传播方式的转变,结合习近平新闻舆论思想,对环保传播中的舆论引导问题进行再思考,对环境相关集体行动中的利益博弈和环境正义与公平等问题方面进行拓展性研究,进一步丰富我国的环保传播研究。

From Plato’s environmental concern in ancient Greece to the environmental protection movement in industrial society, human beings have never stopped thinking about environmental issues. In the current mediated society, environment communication plays a more and more important role in ecological civilization construction. The research on environment communication has come under heated discussion in recent years,but there are only few systematic reviews and researches on the research. This paper reviewed the practice of environment communication at home and abroad. Taking the research findings since 1979 as the research object, it sorted out the study from the aspects of focus areas, realistic plights, environment communication education, discourse practice, historical evolution, and process structure, etc. This paper argues that there are more and more abundant research results of environment communication in China, some of which are remarkable. But the research perspectives and methods are relatively limited and there are not many significant academic discussions. The author holds that the current environment communication research should conform to the requirements of social development in the new era, starting from the aspects of the theoretical system and discourse practice and focusing on the transformation of the environment communication mode under the new media environment. Combined with Xi Jinping s thoughts on mass communication, we should reconsider the issue of public opinion guidance in environment communication, and carry out extended researches on the interest game and environmental justice and equity in environment related collective actions so as to further enrich the environment communication researches in China.
