Land Emotions: An Initial Analysis of Ethics and Emotive Landscapes On A Community Walk
摘要
This paper explores the discourse patterns of a community Storywalk among residents and visitors in the community of Playa Grande in Chiapas, Mexico. We analyze how walk participants’ emotive landscapes shifted when ethical thinking was present as compared to when it was not across three main parts of their walk. We ask: What are the emotive landscapes that emerge in interaction as children, families, teachers, and researchers engage in ethical thinking as they walk along their homelands and waterways? A closer look at the network graphs using transmodal epistemic network analysis (T/ENA), we find that (1) ethical dialogue featured toggling across collective orientations and individual roles, (2) participants’ ethical & emotive landscape shifted as they walked, and (3) T/ENA revealed the interaction between Knowledge and Affect that ethical knowledge was strongly paired with ecological and time considerations. Overall, (T/ENA) difference between these two groups is statistically significant with strong effect for both the affective-only codes and for the interaction of knowledge and affective codes.
