Конфликт в польском экологическом дискурсе: попытка конверсационного анализа

Abstract

In this article the author tries to explain a nature of conflict within the Polish ecological discourse. The major four groups of amateurs and professionals were the subject of consideration: professional ecologists, the participants of environmental social move ment, forest rangers and licensed hunters. The author analyzes selected publications from 8 journals for the years 1992–2001. The main problems analyzed were such: group identities, conversational styles — conflict behavior. The research resulted in a description of group cultures, which are characteristics of different cultural systems: feudalism (hunters), Enlighenment (professional ecologists), industrialism (forest rangers) and postindustrialism (environmental social movement). The conclusion was that cultural differences between discourse participants are essential thus effective communication between them seems doubtful.
