خلاصه	Discourse coalition analysis is an approach to environmental politics that explains policy outcomes by examining the language through which problems are defined, focusing on the 'story-lines' that condense complex arguments and the coalitions of actors who rally around them. Maarten Hajer developed it in his 1995 book The Politics of Environmental Discourse, using the acid-rain controversies in Britain and the Netherlands to show how the rise of 'ecological modernization' reframed environmental protection as compatible with economic growth. In Hajer's argumentative approach, a discourse coalition is a group of actors — who need not share interests or even meet — bound together by the story-lines they use, the metaphors and condensed narratives that let diverse participants speak as if about the same thing. A discourse becomes dominant when it structures how people talk (structuration) and becomes embedded in institutions and practices (institutionalization). The method traces how such coalitions form, compete, and shift, treating environmental policy as a struggle over meaning rather than only over interests.	Environmental photovoice is a participatory research method in which community members document the environmental conditions of their lives through their own photographs, build collective meaning around the images through guided dialogue, and use the resulting visual narratives to inform and pressure decision-makers. Caroline Wang and Mary Ann Burris developed photovoice in the 1990s, formalizing it in their 1997 Health Education & Behavior article, and it has been widely adapted to environmental and environmental-justice contexts. The method rests on three goals: to enable people to record and reflect their community's environmental strengths and concerns, to promote critical dialogue about those conditions through group discussion of photographs, and to reach policymakers. Applied to the environment, it gives residents of polluted, hazard-exposed, or resource-dependent places the means to make visible what statistics and expert assessments often miss — the lived texture of contamination, flooding, waste, or ecological change. Photovoice fuses documentary photography, participatory dialogue, and advocacy into a single empowering research pipeline.
