Abstract

Framing has long been a central construct in scholarship on the role of rhetoric and discourse in the policy process. Research on policy framing and identity thus far has neglected the role of place‐based identity, focusing instead on identity constructs such as race, class, gender, and ethnicity. Through a mixed methods analysis of transcripts of City Council meetings in Philadelphia from 2007 to 2017, we analyze how policy makers, local interest groups, and national/regional interest groups employ place‐based framing to define, explain, and propose solutions to environmental problems. We contrast local place‐based frames with more abstract global frames that center arguments for policy change on the national or global implications of environmental problems. Our results reveal that place‐based framing is a dominant mode of discourse in Philadelphia environmental policy discussions and that actors may employ frames strategically so as to appeal to place‐based identities and to further political goals. 就言辞和话语在政策过程中的作用而言,相关研究长期将框架作为一个关键建构。目前为止,关于政策框架和认同的研究忽视了基于地点的认同(place‐based identity)所发挥的作用,而聚焦于例如种族、阶层、性别和族群性等认同建构。通过对2007‐2017年费城市议会的会议记录进行混合方法分析,我们分析了决策者、地方利益团体、和国家/地区利益团体如何通过基于地点的框架来定义、解释和提出环境问题解决方案。我们对比了基于地点的地方框架和更抽象的全球框架,后者主张对环境问题造成的国家或全球影响进行政策变革。我们的结果显示,基于地点的框架是费城环境政策探讨中的主导话语模式,并且行动者能战略性地使用框架,以期吸引基于地点的认同并促进政治目标。 El encuadre ha sido durante mucho tiempo un constructo central en los estudios sobre el papel de la retórica y el discurso en el proceso de políticas. La investigación sobre el encuadre de políticas y la identidad hasta ahora ha descuidado el papel de la identidad basada en el lugar, centrándose en cambio en construcciones de identidad como raza, clase, género y etnia. A través de un análisis de métodos mixtos de las transcripciones de las reuniones del Concejo Municipal en Filadelfia de 2007 a 2017, analizamos cómo los formuladores de políticas, los grupos de interés locales y los grupos de interés nacionales / regionales emplean el marco basado en el lugar para definir, explicar y proponer soluciones a problemas ambientales. problemas. Contrastamos los marcos locales basados ​​en el lugar con marcos globales más amplios y abstractos que centran los argumentos para el cambio de políticas en las implicaciones nacionales o globales de los problemas ambientales. Nuestros resultados revelan que el encuadre basado en el lugar es un modo de discurso dominante en las discusiones de política ambiental de Filadelfia y que los actores pueden emplear marcos estratégicamente para apelar a las identidades basadas en el lugar y para promover objetivos políticos.
