ABSTRACT

Despite their increasing political importance and role in frame construction and application, issue framing research has paid very little attention to domain experts – those who hold comprehensive knowledge in a specific field. This paper draws upon concepts from environmental psychology to examine how agroecology training centers in Belgium, France, and Spain construct and apply agroecology issue frames based on specific environmental values. I develop the argument that by highlighting a “community frame” based on the value of environmental altruism, domain experts can act as potentially powerful conduits through which informal institutions can develop and spread in the transition to agroecology.

摘要

尽管它们在框架构建和应用中的政治重要性和作用越来越大，但问题框架研究很少关注领域专家——那些在特定领域拥有全面知识的人。本文借鉴环境心理学的概念，研究比利时、法国和西班牙的生态农业培训中心如何基于特定的环境价值构建和应用生态农业问题框架。我提出的论点是，通过强调基于环境利他主义价值的“社区框架”，领域专家可以充当潜在的强大渠道，非正式机构可以通过这些渠道在向农业生态学的过渡中发展和传播。
