Talking about nature: Ecolinguistics and the Natureculture paradigm

Abstract

The chapter proposes the use of the integrated natureculture framework as a theoretical and practical tool for transdisciplinary analysis of the planet’s social, cultural and environmental complexity. It aims at re-integrating research on the human and the ecospheres from an initial change in the linguistic, discoursive and communication perspective onwards in order to create a wider, holistic perspective. The use of the nature-culture framework through collaboration within and outside the academia is seen as part of the contemporary interstitial revolution and the global hope movement for tackling destructive, neo-liberal stances that have been causing the ongoing crisis of the planet and its people.
