| Abstract | Current conceptual frameworks differ deeply on the meanings of human‐natural environment relations. One is a monist social constructionist frame: meaning is only in human definitions, and natural events are meaningless. The other offers dualist perspectives that locate meaning both in definitions and in realist indications of environmental events such as global environmental change. After discussing ‘landscape’ as a bridging concept, I suggest an ordering of the two perspectives through a metatheoretical distinction between definitional and responsive meanings with primacy in the response. Finally, I apply a metatheoretical schema based on the work of George H. Mead to meanings of natural environment implicated in a discussion of an official pronouncement, ‘The drought is over’. |

(Original abstract-amended) Current conceptual frameworks differ deeply on the meanings of human‐natural environment relations. One is a monist social constructionist frame: meaning is only in human definitions, and natural events are meaningless. The other offers dualist perspectives that locate meaning both in definitions and in realist indications of environmental events such as global environmental change. After discussing ‘landscape’ as a bridging concept, I suggest an ordering of the two perspectives through a metatheoretical distinction between definitional and responsive meanings with primacy in the response. Finally, I apply a metatheoretical schema based on the work of George H. Mead to meanings of natural environment implicated in a discussion of an official pronouncement, ‘The drought is over’. Examines the complex relationship between society & nature, drawing on the theories of social constructionism, social phenomenology, & symbolic interactionism to develop an environmental dualist theory. The wide varieties of linguistic & physical meanings of landscape, environment, & nature are recounted to illustrate how both the object known & the knowing subject must be accounted for in any understanding of this relationship. Concepts developed by George Herbert Mead are drawn on to integrate these meanings & theoretical standpoints. The resulting theoretical schema is applied to a discussion of the political claims made in 1993 by CA's Governor Pete Wilson in relation to the end of a 6-year drought. 2 Figures, 68 References. Adapted from the source document. |
