本文批判性地重新审视了环境冲突背景下的“中介可见性”的运作。长期以来,挑战者团体通过举办引人注目的抗议活动,吸引公众关注环境威胁和破坏,从而获得了新闻媒体和影响政治决策者的机会。万维网和数字媒体工具的出现为那些想要渗透和破坏政府和企业权力网络的组织增加了战术武器库。反过来,政府和企业也会使用这些工具来维护自己的声誉,并检查反对他们活动的对手。我们认为,这些发展产生了显著的流动效应。隐形的功能-或协调地避免媒体传播、注意和再现,以实现政治和/或社会目的-是当代环境政治的一个未被充分研究的特征。本文的案例研究和证据来自于在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚岛进行的实地调查,以及对新闻媒体、社交网络平台和网站的广泛内容分析。
This article critically revisits the operation of ‘mediated visibility’ in the context of environmental conflict. Challenger groups have long gained access to news media and influenced political decision-makers by staging highly visible protest events that draw public attention to environmental threats and destruction. The advent of the world-wide web and digital media tools has since added to the tactical arsenal available to groups wanting to infiltrate and disrupt government and corporate networks of power. In turn, governments and corporations deploy these same tools to maintain their reputation and check opponents who oppose their activities. These developments have, we argue, produced a significant flow-on effect. The function of invisibility – or the coordinated avoidance of media communication, attention and respresentation in order to achieve political and/or social ends – is an under-examined feature of contemporary environmental politics. The case study and evidence presented here are drawn from fieldwork conducted in the Australian island state of Tasmania, and extensive content analysis of news media, social networking platforms and websites.
