Abstract

Abstract This study seeks insights into how biodiversity is framed and visualised in EU policy. The paper presents analysis of both the visual content and written text of two brochures summarising two central EU biodiversity policy documents. The study illustrates how the two modes of communication differ. First, the written text primarily presents an anthropocentric and economic framing of biodiversity values, whereas the visual material generally features the beauty and wonders of nature. Second, the written text strongly emphasises the threats to biodiversity and the detrimental side of human activity, whereas the visual material generally shows close relationships between humans and nature, with humans engaged in small-scale outdoor activities. The analysis illustrates how various representations of biodiversity intersect in the same context, and that the visual representation decontextualises the issue of biodiversity loss from the human exploitation of natural resources and the concrete actions and processes causing it.

在欧盟政策中构建和可视化生物多样性
摘要:本研究旨在深入了解生物多样性是如何在欧盟政策中被构建和可视化的。本文对两份概述欧盟生物多样性政策文件的小册子的视觉内容和书面文本进行了分析。这项研究说明了这两种交流方式的不同之处。首先,书面文本主要呈现生物多样性价值的人类中心主义和经济框架,而视觉材料通常以自然之美和奇观为特色。其次,书面文本强烈强调了对生物多样性的威胁和人类活动的有害一面,而视觉材料通常显示了人类与自然之间的密切关系,人类从事小规模的户外活动。该分析说明了生物多样性的各种表征如何在同一背景下交叉,并且视觉表征将人类开发自然资源造成的生物多样性丧失问题以及导致生物多样性丧失的具体行动和过程脱离了语境。
