Using a framework proposed by van Leeuwen (2007, 2008), we describe how community leaders and advocates used four strategies—mythopoesis, authorization, moral evaluation, and rationalization—to legitimize community college practices related to the 1970s energy crisis. These strategies were resources for legitimizing the actions and strategies for preserving existing imaginaries or realizing new ones. Even as community college leaders struggled to make sense of the energy crisis, they were imagining a future in which community colleges were integral not only to solutions to the energy crisis but also to the post-crisis institutional order.

摘要

Using a framework proposed by van Leeuwen (2007, 2008), we describe how community leaders and advocates used four strategies—mythopoesis, authorization, moral evaluation, and rationalization—to legitimize community college practices related to the 1970s energy crisis. These strategies were resources for legitimizing the actions and strategies for preserving existing imaginaries or realizing new ones. Even as community college leaders struggled to make sense of the energy crisis, they were imagining a future in which community colleges were integral not only to solutions to the energy crisis but also to the post-crisis institutional order.
