I am looking forward to sharing my entire 'Environmental Communication Design' chapter with you (all 18,000w), but in the meantime here is a little preview. These graphics are based on Stanley Cohen's wide reaching cross cultural sociological studies including Nazi Germany, South Africa, Israel /Palestine, Rwanda and others zones of human rights abuse, genocide and state sanctioned or institutional violence. In States of Denial Cohen describes strategies of denial on a personal level as psychological and cognitive, and on societal level as communicative and political. Although Cohen’s analysis of how disturbing information is avoided is based on violence against people, this work on denial is relevant for environmental communications (as first suggested by George Marshall) and further developed in my thesis.
