Yet\, given the entrenched belief in economic growth as a societal imperative (Parrique 2019)\, the a ctualization of these post-growth ideas (PGI) is highly dependent on their social and political acceptability. While the scientific literature has r evealed mixed attitudes toward PGI among the general public (Paulson & B üchs 2022\, Thorman 2021\, Tomaselli 2017)\, few studies have examined h ow post-growth measures are presented in public discourse\, such as that o f the press or political actors\, despite the critical role of those commu nities in shaping public opinion (van Dijk 2005).\n\nThis research project thus aims to analyze French public discourses on PGI\, focusing on framin g strategies (Entman 1993) in political and journalistic narratives. Drawi ng on a Corpus-driven methodology that combines Corpus linguistics and Cri tical discourse analysis (Baker et al. 2008\, Wodak 2015)\, it investigate s how different frames of PGI are constructed in discourse to promote or d iscredit these ideas\, and explores the potential limits and implications of these framings with regard to sustainability goals.\n\nBio:\n\nPauline Bureau holds a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics from Grenoble Alpes University (France). Her research focuses on discourses about climate change\, parti cularly on terminological variations and neologisms. She is convinced that observing the words introduced to address ecological disruptions can reve al much about our relationship to these challenges and may even help us id entify paradigmatic changes in their infancy!\n\nDuring her stay at Stanfo rd as a visiting scholar\, she will study discourses on one set of respons es to climate change\, namely post-growth strategies\, understood as initi atives that seek to reduce consumption and production in order to minimize environmental impact and enhance well-being.\n\nRSVP for the French-Speak ing Worlds - Pauline Bureau talk\n\n\nHosted by the French-Speaking Worlds : Then and Now Focal Group\, sponsored by the Division of Literatures\, Cu ltures\, and Languages Research Unit and co-sponsored by the France-Stanfo rd Center and Stanford Global Studies.
