Inhalt:
"The sea turtles found throughout the tropical and subtropical oceans of the world face many man-made threats to their existence. In Hawai'i, rigorous conservation efforts have seen growing numbers of the endangered the Hawaiian green sea turtle foraging and basking along its shores. However, this conservation success story has led to some unforeseen challenges as a fast-growing ecotourism industry in Hawai'i has capitalized on this success. 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 '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."--
