Rose tinting in the emerging Discourse of the Bioeconomy

This presentation analyses the discourse of the bioeconomy, a relatively recently emerging discourse which blends sustainability and economics. The focus is on the phenomenon of ‘rose-tinting’, i.e., downplaying the catastrophic impact of problems and exaggerating the effectiveness of potential solutions.

The seminar is part of the Corpora, Linguistics and Technology Lab, in collaboration with Dis-4Change
