*Fighting carbon dioxide or fighting humans?: The ideological fault 
lines underlying two climate change frames*

Authors: Renée Moernaut And Jelle Mast
Page Start: 123

Our collective future largely depends on the ways in which we frame 
climate change. It is argued, however, that the dominant frames are only 
superficially environmental and keep reproducing the (anthropocentric) 
hegemonic ideology. Real change, contrariwise, requires ideological 
transformation (biocentrism). As one frame can promote various 
ideologies, familiar frames like ‘Cycles of Nature’ or ‘Environmental 
Justice’ can provide convenient contexts for hegemonic struggles. 
However, little is known yet about the nature of the hegemonic and 
counter-hegemonic ‘subframes’. Therefore, we have conducted a 
qualitative framing analysis on a corpus of Belgian mainstream and 
alternative news articles. The results demonstrate the strong 
similarities among the two exemplary frames and striking contrasts 
within the frames. The anthropocentric ‘subframes’ foreground an 
external fight with a largely external enemy (carbon dioxide). The 
biocentric ‘subframes’ highlight internal problems within human society. 
However, being quantitatively and qualitatively underdeveloped, the 
latter still lack the potency to truly inspire. Hence, they require 
further (collaborative) scrutiny and development.

*Cultural memory in its spatio-narrative-augmented reality*

Authors: Maria Moira And Dimitrios Makris
Page Start: 153

This interdisciplinary article proposes a framework for the employment 
of augmented reality (AR), informed by spatio-narrative data drawn from 
literary texts on the basis of architectural elements, as a means of 
remediation that can provide rich opportunities for a creative 
re-contextualization of narrative contents within the urban space, thus 
reinforcing cultural memory as part of the collective memory. The 
article focuses on the dynamic of literary texts in visitor/inhabitant 
engagement with the cultural memory of a specific urban tissue. It then 
proceeds to present the theoretical background on the notions of urban 
space, cultural memory, collective memory, narrative theory and 
spatialization, before discussing the capabilities of AR applications in 
expressing aspects of cultural memory and enhancing the role of 
spatialization in the understanding of cultural memory. Finally, in a 
case study, the first part of the proposed framework is implemented on 
Heraklion, Crete, an insular metropolis of the Eastern Mediterranean. 
The relevant spatio-narrative elements of cultural memory are drawn from 
eight literary texts by six native writers, generating eight distinct 
conceptual maps of the city to be utilized by the AR medium.

*A Native American ‘playing Indian’: Internal colonization in 
professional wrestling rhetoric*

Authors: Jason Edward Black And Vernon Ray Harrison
Page Start: 173

This article focuses on the tension extant in the ways in which Tatanka, 
a Native American wrestler (person), assumes the identity of another 
tribesperson (persona) to generate both economic and social capital. We 
address Tatanka’s narrative as an example of internal colonization and 
commodification, given that he had to ‘play Indian’ to pass as an 
authentic Native American. We discuss these two critical concepts and 
then provide some analysis of the public fragments that surround 
Tatanka’s narrative.

*Film literacy in secondary schools across Europe: A comparison of five 
countries’ responses to an educational project on cinema*

Authors: María T. Soto-Sanfiel And Isabel Villegas-Simón And Ariadna 
Angulo-Brunet
Page Start: 187

We present the results of an exploratory study framed within a large 
film literacy project carried out simultaneously in five European Union 
countries (Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United 
Kingdom). The study looks at students’ responses to an educational 
project on cinema designed to be implemented regionally for five months 
in high schools to increase film literacy and to favour more positive 
attitudes towards European cinema. The results show that students’ film 
preferences remain stable after the programme and vary only slightly. 
Major changes occur in their knowledge about film production and 
expression. The aspects that change the least are their conceptions 
about cinema and their preferences. Moreover, the student attitudes 
towards national and European cinema are more positive. However, the 
results also show that the implementation of a film literacy programme 
at a cross-cultural level can affect different aspects depending on the 
cultural context (country) in which it occurs. Indeed, they provide data 
about the specific impact of the programme in each country. The 
information offered by this study could enhance film literacy 
programmes, inform theory, and nurture the debates about the common 
European identity and the particular traits of the diverse cultures of 
the European Union.
