Description
Examines the discourse around two different contested pipeline projects; discusses rhetorical elements including the difference between “claimed” and “government sanctioned” spaces, and whether the perspectives are consistent with or counter to mainstream perspectives. Highlights the differences in worldviews, understandings of cause and effect, and conceptualizations of time and space and the role these differences play.
