About this title

Synopsis

First published in 1996. “Environment” challenges modern knowledge and its institutions: academic disciplines, research groups, journals and presses, syllabuses and texts, professions and data banks, media experts and policy advisors. The language of environment makes no policy proposals, it is not prescriptive. But it is an attempt to think about the cultural context of all proposals and prescriptions, the cultures of authority and expertise in our time. How is knowledge made to count, and how do all the different claims connect, or collide?
