The power of images - their creation, reproduction, and strategic use in the shaping of Alpine future Ulrike Müller-Böker, Norman Backhaus, Urs Müller, (Engl.)

The project The Power of Images wants to make a contribution to the sustainable development of alpine habitats using image and discourse analyses. Sustainability is thereby seen as a process encompassing the three interrelated dimensions ecology', economy' and society'. Thus, to strive for sustainability means to be engaged in a multidimensional, democratic discourse about future developments. Ideally such a discourse is a process of consensus building, which leads to transparent, acceptable and eventually sustainable results. This project aims at the compilation and analysis of mental images of sustainable development, focusing on visualizations (i.e. photographs). Discourses can be blocked by social and mental images that actors have of their negotiating partners or of the discourse itself. Such mental images can enter publications of different stakeholders in a unreflected way. Even more so this is the case for (material) images. As a consequence clichés can be reproduced, which furthermore can lead to vehement defensive reactions (including the breakup of communication) with the people concerned. This can, in addition, cause un-sustainable development.
