This PhD project will use community-based participatory documentary filmmaking to engage publics in the interpretation and representation of the climate crisis, tracking over a fixed period how these activities shift perceptions and facilitate changes in attitude, behaviours and practices. The PhD will map out a framework for how to achieve creative and personally relevant approaches for understanding climate change, bringing together theoretical research and empirical study within an artistic context.Research contextVisual media play a central role in shaping understandings of the climate crisis. Documentary representations of environmental issues have been on the rise in recent years, from mainstream film and television productions to more marginal experimental cinema and activist video projects. However, despite the proliferation of climate communication methods, it is unclear to what extent knowledge gained from these productions leads to meaningful action and significant changes in attitude and behaviour. In the context of climate art, there is a tension between practitioners seeking to create personally meaningful representations versus a more instrumentalised approach that seeks to deliberately effect change in attitudes and behaviour.Whilst shock, anger and fear are frequently leant upon in messaging techniques around the climate crisis, recent research has shown that these emotions have a complex - and sometimes counterintuitive - role in tackling long-term challenges. Deep and transformative change requires strong collective will, active participation and momentum to sustain itself. In contrast to the one-way flow of information typical of traditional messaging around climate change, participatory production involving communities may nurture greater agency by harnessing relatable stories and relevant lived experience.

这个博士项目将使用基于社区的参与式纪录片制作，让公众参与对气候危机的解释和表现，在一段固定的时间内跟踪这些活动如何改变观念，促进态度，行为和做法的变化。博士将绘制出一个框架，如何实现创造性和个人相关的方法来理解气候变化，将理论研究和实证研究结合在一起的艺术context.Research上下文视觉媒体在塑造气候危机的理解中发挥着核心作用。近年来，从主流电影和电视制作到边缘实验电影和激进主义视频项目，环境问题的纪录片表现呈上升趋势。然而，尽管气候传播方法激增，但尚不清楚从这些产品中获得的知识在多大程度上导致有意义的行动以及态度和行为的重大变化。在气候艺术的背景下，从业者寻求创造个人有意义的表现与更工具化的方法之间存在着紧张关系，这种方法寻求故意改变态度和行为。虽然震惊，愤怒和恐惧经常在围绕气候危机的信息技术中使用，最近的研究表明，这些情绪在应对长期挑战方面具有复杂的作用，有时甚至是违反直觉的作用。深刻的变革需要强大的集体意愿、积极参与和势头来维持。与围绕气候变化的传统信息传递中典型的单向信息流动相反，涉及社区的参与性制作可以通过利用相关的故事和相关的生活经验来培养更大的机构。
