“…I used the Online Media Monitor (OMM) database (Brüggemann et al, 2020). 6 The analysis started with the identification of narratives as means to identify the overarching structure of NCMs discourses (Viehöver, 2014;Meer, 2023) and followed a deductive-inductive approach. Each text was coded by two researchers, including the author, using MaxQDA.…”

How we have come to think about climate futures has predominantly been shaped by science- and expert-driven assessments. As research turns to the role of future visions as a driver of social change and overcoming political gridlock, political struggles are understood as conflicts over making (alternative) desirable futures socially performative. The recent advent of the new climate movements (NCMs) has given rise to the assumption that they could contribute to a re-politicization of climate politics by introducing alternative future visions. Their names and slogans articulate future expectations, such as futures “worth studying for” (Fridays for Future) or averting extinction (Extinction Rebellion). Yet, research on the politicizing qualities of the NCMs is inconclusive. I use a new framework for examining (de-)politicization dynamics to study public communication of German factions of both movements from 2019 to 2022. The results underscore climate movements’ strong affiliation to science from their inception, yet over time, increasing attempts to adhere to principles of climate justice. However, climate movements still struggle to re-politicize climate futures beyond dominant positive visions of modernization and negative visions of collapse. I argue that this bounded politicization is indicative of the broader discursive dynamics that have weakened the ability to formulate alternative visions and discuss to what extent the centrality of scientific imaginative logics and understandings of the science–policy interface act to inhibit the articulation of alternative visions.

“…Politische Narrative folgen der Logik, vergangene politische oder gesellschaftliche Ereignisse in Beziehung zur gegenwärtigen Lage zu setzen und Schlüsse aus ihnen zu ziehen . Insbesondere in umkämpften Politikfeldern werden einzelne Deutungsschritte aufeinander abgestimmt, um kollektives Problemverstehen und -handeln, aber auch Innovation im Sinne der Rekonfiguration von Deutungsmustern zu ermöglichen (Gadinger et al, 2014a;Viehöver, 2014). Dies liegt großenteils natürlich auch daran, dass es dort um die Verhandlung grundsätzlicher Fragen des Politischen geht: Macht und Legitimation, Freiheit, Gerechtigkeit, Globalisierung oder Wirtschaftsform .…”

“…Zu beachten ist ebenfalls das narrative Innovationspotenzial bzgl. der Rekonfiguration von Deutungsmustern und Handlungsfähigkeit (Viehöver, 2014). Die Weiterentwicklung der Narrativforschung ausgehend von der Linguistik und die Inkorporation in sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung ist aus verschiedenen Gründen hilfreich: Gerade für die Kommunikationswissenschaft ist die weiterführende Untersuchung der medialen Verbreitung einerseits und die Auswirkung politischer (populistischer) Narrative auf Einstellungen andererseits interessant, hier auch in Hinsicht auf persuasive Effekte Wojcieszak & Kim, 2016).…”

Narratives are stories that give the possibility of understanding and interpreting reality on both an individual and collective level. They are present in everyday communication and incorporate a normative perspective. Narratives are characterised by a specific kind of syntax: Current societal events are often processed in narrative form by interrelating them with past events and identifying important actors. Narratives play a central role in the construction of political behaviour and political communication as well. With the rise of populism in the last few decades, the relationship of language and politics has become more prominent in public discussion. Besides the oversimplification of most societal problems resulting from the antagonism between the elite and the people, the usage of especially polarising and emotional rhetoric is attributed to populism. While this kind of populist communication is frequently studied, narratives are seldom part of these analyses. Hence, this article turns to the inductive analysis of narrative structures in the election campaign of the currently most successful populist party in Germany, the Alternative for Germany (AfD). Their 2017 federal election campaign on Facebook serves as a database for the qualitative analysis following the Grounded Theory Method. This method is especially suitable for data-driven narrative analysis since it is designed to help identify underlying meaning and rhetorical structures. Ultimately, the underlying narrative of the election campaign is extracted, which shows the AfD’s ideological alignment and thus its interpretation of reality.

Zwischen Makulatur und Modernisierung: Zur Viabilität reflexiver Institutionen

In diesem Artikel wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern reflexive Institutionen der fortwährenden Modernisierung -ihrem eigentlichen Zweck -angemessen Rechnung tragen und ob sie ihr sogar zuwiderlaufen können. In einer Fallstudie wurden dazu sämtliche (mehr oder weniger formale, regelgeleitete) Innovationspraktiken als Arrangement organisationalen Lernens skizziert. Sie wurden als potenziell reflexive Institution(en) konzipiert und mit dem Instrumentarium der Theorie Institutioneller Reflexivität analysiert. Aus konzeptioneller Sicht werden Kriterien in die Debatte eingebracht, über die nun auch die Form der Institutionalisierung reflexiver Managementinstrumente operationalisiert werden kann. Die Ergebnisse der Fallstudie (in der Tradition sozioökonomischer Begleitforschung) zeigten, dass nicht allein die Ausprägung des reflexiven Moments organisationaler Modernisierungsbemühungen, sondern auch der Sinnbezug -ihre Institutionalisierung -Einfluss auf deren Wirksamkeit haben. Gemessen wurde dabei jedoch nicht Performanz im üblich quantitativen Sinne unternehmenstheoretischer Studien, sondern Viabilität in von Glasersfelds Lesart.This paper examines the question to which extent reflexive institutions adequately serve their actual purpose -perpetual modernization. Therefore all (more or less formalized, regularized) practices to promote innovation were outlined as an arrangement of organizational learning. In a case study, these practices were conceptualized as potentially reflexive institutions and analyzed by the theory of institutional reflexivity. From a conceptual point of view, this article proposes criteria to operationalize the way and shape reflexive management tools are institutionalized because the case study results (in the tradition of accompanying socioeconomic research) showed that not only the degree of the reflexive moment, but also the nature of its institutionalization influences the efficacy of striving for modernization. Performance has not been understood and assessed in the conventional quantitative sense of organization studies, however, as viability in von Glasersfeld's sense of the word.
