The papers presented on this panel apply the concept
of framing to communication in diverse types of conflict situations: an
ongoing environmental conflict, local-state political conflicts, media
coverage of emergency response, and domestic abuse. The authors provide
diverse perspectives on the ways in which analyzing frames can shed
light on the communication dynamics playing out in these conflict
situations. One purpose of this panel is to facilitate discussion of
the theoretical potential of frame analysis for understanding conflict.
Among the questions we will address is: How do these different analyses
highlight theoretical commonalities and differences in applications of
frame theory to understanding the way communication functions in conflict
situations? The panel is purposely structured to allow for facilitated
discussion.
