This book explores how language and communication shape the increasingly entangled lives of people and sea turtles at the nexus of sea turtle conservation and ecotourism. Here, new ecocultural identities are taking shape as people strive to make sense of their shifting multispecies landscape, and as sea turtles gradually reclaim beaches after decades of absence.

The book offers researchers in ecolinguistics and related ecologically engaged fields in discourse analysis an integrative theoretical and methodological approach to empirically investigate the human and ‘more-than-human’ discourses and practices shaping problematic human-wildlife interaction. Containing short vignettes in each chapter covering the biology and behaviours of sea turtles, this book suggests how discourse analysts might contribute to a ‘life-sustaining multispecies ethics’ in an uncertain socio-ecological time increasingly being referred to as the Anthropocene.

Reviews for Multispecies Discourse Analysis: The Nexus of Discourse and Practice in Sea Turtle Tourism and Conservation

In what is likely to become a touchstone in posthuman perspectives on language, this book will be of interest to any scholars seeking to understand landscapes beyond human sign-making. * Linguistic Landscape *
