Description

Explore the deep connection between language and the environment with Carbon Footprints as Cultural-Ecological Metaphors from Routledge. This academic work examines how climate change and ecological issues are shaped through cultural and material metaphors. While the carbon footprint has become a common term in Anglo-North American public life since the start of the millennium, it is often misunderstood as a simple measurement tool. This book moves beyond treating the carbon footprint as a mere quantifying metric. Instead, it analyzes how this specific metaphor acts as a mediator for political responses to the climate crisis. By looking at the cultural construction of these ideas, readers can better understand the complex ways that human language influences our response to urgent environmental challenges. This text is an essential resource for those studying the environmental humanities and the intersection of culture, politics, and ecology.
