“…As the Internet has become the main battlefield of opposing views about climate change, scholars have increasingly studied this phenomenon following the seminal contributions of Good ( 2006 ), who empirically confirmed how exposure to environment-related Internet content influences environmental concerns. In the last decade, case-based audience studies have been proliferating (Arendt & Matthes, 2014 ; Brereton, 2018 ; Brereton & Gómez, 2020 ; Hunting & Hinck, 2017 ; Parham, 2016 ; Shapiro & Park, 2015 ) more than research evaluating the generalized use of social media technology on environmental sustainability outcomes at large scale (Pearson et al, 2016 ).…”

“…Although the scientific community, followed by significant sectors of society, widely agrees on its existence and its anthropogenic roots, this phenomenon is still denied by many people around the world (Ashe & Poberezhskaya, 2022 ; Fagan & Huang, 2019 ; McCright & Dunlap, 2011 ; Weintrobe, 2013 ). Interestingly, this situation overlaps with the ongoing heated debate as to whether social network site usage merely produces slacktivism (Smith et al, 2019 ) and reinforces environmental skepticism (Dunlap, 2013 ), or if it helps to promote acknowledgement of the problem in creative ways (Parham, 2016 ) and fosters green citizenship (Anderson, 2017 ; Boykoff, 2020 ; Gil de Zúñiga et al, 2012 ; Lindgren, 2015 ; Rotman et al, 2011 ; Takahashi et al, 2017 ).…”

Using data from the Latinobarómetro (Latin Barometer) survey of 2017 to analyze the effect of social network site usage on climate change awareness in 18 Latin American countries, this article makes three contributions. First, it offers results on the socioeconomic determinants of climate awareness in a region of the world where there is scant published evidence in this regard. Second, it shows the effect of social media consumption on climate change awareness by assessing the role of each of the most popular sites: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Tumblr. Third, it assesses the effects of multi-platform consumption. The results show that YouTube has the strongest and most robust positive and statistically significant effect on climate change awareness, followed by Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp, while being a multi-platform user also has a positive and statistically significant effect on climate change awareness. The implications of these findings for understanding the role of social media in the development of environmental awareness are discussed.

“…Both games’ rejection of chrononormativity puts an emphasis on ‘a reconnection with nature’ (Parham, 2015: 227). As such, they can be read as ‘environmental texts’ (Buell, 1995) by taking gamers into deserts, forgotten steppes and other ‘neglected spaces’ (Parham, 2015: 223). Imbued with green political messages Flowers and Journey make us ‘jump down into the mud’ (Morton, 2007: 205) instead of othering nature.…”

Flânerie in the dark woods: Shattering innocence and queering time in The Path

Focusing on The Path, this article aims at moving beyond the duality between the concepts of productivity and idleness in order to explore how the practice of gaming can escape heteronormative time. Positioning the gamer as a flâneur, I argue that The Path locates the player in a queer time through the fragmentation of its narrative, but also the shattering of heteronormative imagery – such as the figure of the child as pure and innocent – and its reappropriation in a queer text. Ultimately, this article argues that gaming has the potential to be considered a site of queer practice. In order to perform this reading, I first introduce my critical framework comprised from exploring how queer lifestyles detach themselves from normative time and focusing on the practice of flânerie as queer performance.
