Acoustic ecology has served as a foundational theoretical field for many sound scholars to understand the soundscape as a signifier for environmental crisis. While sound theorists like R. Murray Schafer and those in the World Soundscape Project have developed ways in which to critically analyze environmental soundscapes, these methods have often excluded Indigenous narratives which offer complex understandings of sound through embodied experience. In this paper I employ a brief description of acoustic ecology, drawing attention to its benefits as a methodological approach to sonic ordering, while also demonstrating the possibilities for expansion of this field when examined in conversation with Canadian Indigenous perspectives and notable sonic activist movements. I address how Indigenous knowledge systems, futurisms, art, and activism can provide critical perspectives within the field of acoustic ecology, which lends well to understanding soundscapes of crisis. I identify a few case studies of sonic forward Indigenous environmental movements which include game design by Elizabeth LaPensée, Rebecca Belmore’s Wave Sound sculpture, and the Round Dance Revolution within the Idle No More movement. In sum, this paper works to bridge the work of acoustic ecology and Indigenous sonic movements to encourage a complex and nuanced relationship to sound, and to explore moments for understanding sonic intersections at the forefront of environmental crisis.

One of the main tasks of the environmental industry is innovation, which is now the key to technological progress. Technological and organizational-economic tools, especially in terms of nature management, environmental assessment and entrepreneurship, are aimed primarily at implementing effective, efficient measures aimed at overcoming the deep environmental crisis and ensuring conditions for sustainable development of the state. Technological and organizational-economic mechanisms of greening is a set of organizational forms and economic levers, the interaction of which allows to ensure the implementation of a recurring process aimed at improving the economic and environmental efficiency of social production and stimulating environmental measures. Green (eco-) entrepreneurship is an alternative vision of growth and development. It is necessary to rethink the theoretical approaches and clearly clarify the essence of the organizational and economic mechanism of sustainability of eco-enterprises for its effective formation and implementation of further research in this area. These breakthroughs are expected to lead to significant transformational changes in the functioning of society. These achievements promise significant social and economic benefits, increased efficiency and increased productivity in many areas. Innovations, including technological and organizational-economic tools focused on the collection, processing and analysis of vast arrays of information science data, will have implications for countless areas of research and development. An innovative methodological approach to the definition and justification of priority management technological and organizational and economic decisions for MAI, allows to involve experts in environmental, urban, social, economic direction of municipal authorities of a particular settlement, industrial, residential and military facilities, to justify management decisions environmental safety of settlements, etc. The advantages of the methodological approach include - the ability to link to a single algorithm to justify the solution of data that differ in content (ecological, biological in higher aquatic plants, urban, social and economic) and in the form of presentation (data of direct measurements, statistical and forecast estimates) to develop a single proposal for the application of modern management in practice.

Abstract. Interest in the lived mundane practices and embodied experience of subjects has seen a tremendous upsurge in human geography in the past years. With its focus on social interaction and concern with subjects' lifeworlds, ethnography suggests itself as a suitable methodological approach to match this interest. Against the lack of a sustained debate in German-speaking human geography, this special issue seeks to illustrate the potential of ethnography for different conceptual approaches with the help of empirical examples. It is the task of this editorial to review key issues associated with ethnographic research. In so doing, it does not equate ethnography with the method of participant observation, but rather understands it as a methodology with specific implications for the responsibility and position of the researcher, the interpretation of the material and the construction of a narrative.

RESUMO O sistema agroalimentar hegemônico contribui significativamente com a atual crise socioambiental. Assim como as origens da Educação Ambiental estão intimamente ligadas ao ecologismo, é novamente necessário buscar referências de análise sócio-crítica e ação socioeducativa em movimentos sociais emergentes. A agroecologia disponibiliza alternativas integrais e transformadoras para a (re)construção de sistemas agroalimentares social e ambientalmente sustentáveis. Neste artigo apresentam-se as linhas metodológicas duma pesquisa sobre a dimensão socioeducativa do movimento social agroecológico na Galiza, com especial atenção ao processo de validação de conteúdo ao que foi submetido o instrumento de recolhimento de dados aplicado às iniciativas coletivas sujeito de estudo. Palavras chave: Agroecologia, Movimento Social Agroecológico, Educação Ambiental Sócio-crítica, Validação. ABSTRACT The hegemonic agri-food system contributes significantly to the current socio-environmental crisis. Just as the origins of Environmental Education are closely linked to ecologism, it is again necessary to look for references of socio-critical analysis and socio-educational action in emerging social movements. Agroecology provides integral and transformative alternatives for the (re)construction of socially and environmentally sustainable agri-food systems. This article presents the methodological approach of a research on the socio-educational dimension of the agroecological social movement in Galicia, with special attention to the content validation process to which the data collection instrument applied to the collective initiatives under study was submitted. Keywords: Agroecology, Agroecological Social Movement, Socio-critical Environmental Education, Validation.

Abstract Against the backdrop of rising Islamophobia and a deficit in the literature of Muslim experiences of resistance to discrimination through the legal action, in this article, I employ an auto-ethnographic methodological approach to critically reflect on my journey from classroom to courtroom, as a British Muslim woman of colour and litigant-in-person. While threading in excerpts of legal documents from the case, I highlight that: (a) as Muslims we must resist in ways acceptable to gate-keepers of the law, who are largely white and middle-class and unaware of the embodied realities of the inequality that minorities in Britain experience; (b) the law fails to take account of the “context” in which discrimination(s) takes place, as a result of which legal logic(s) and methodologies in cases of religious discrimination are flawed; (c) a religio-social capital operates against Muslims, negating positive social capital(s) such as education, and which, in the social penalties Muslims experience, accumulates greater weight than other intersecting subjectivity markers such as race, class, ethnicity, and gender. I contrast King’s theory of “multiple jeopardy” with my embodied experience of discrimination and inequality, which I demonstrate using the model of the glass Rubik’s cube.

This article aims to present some developments and advances in Cosmocene Ecology. Hermeneutical horizon’s study in the field of Fundamentals of Environmental Education, it starts from a succinct recovery of the environmental crisis and the demarcation of the Anthropocene Age, later it retakes the main theses of the mentioned ecology and finally demonstrates how this Ecology can be translated in educative principles whose movements and learning can result in the Cosmocene Pedagogy. It is a study that proposes to offer, besides reflections, sustainable principles so that we can educate ourselves to seek a greater guarantee of a decent life based on another concept of development: human development. Philosophical hermeneutics is used as a methodological approach whose interpretative and understanding effort points to the urgent need to reassess the position we have traditionally assumed in the universe. It also points to the need to recognize the knowledge of traditional peoples who have always inhabited the world sustainable development.

The experience of creating in technology-mediated spaces through an avatar form brings the phenomenological experience of the body into the act of creating itself. Ways of explaining this creative process and its relationship to imaginative experience highlights a phenomenology of virtual practice of artists working in this realm. This chapter explores the phenomenology of the imagination in relation to embodied experience and considers the implications of phenomenology as a methodological approach and presents the case for investigating artistic and imaginative experience through adapting phenomenological research methods.

Abstract. TV news are essentially cultural phenomena. Previous research suggests that the often-overlooked formal and implicit characteristics of newscasts may be systematically related to culture-specific characteristics. Investigating these characteristics by means of a frame-by-frame content analysis is identified as a particularly promising methodological approach. To examine the relationship between culture and selected formal characteristics of newscasts, we present an explorative study that compares material from the USA, the Arab world, and Germany. Results indicate that there are many significant differences, some of which are in line with expectations derived from cultural specifics. Specifically, we argue that the number of persons presented as well as the context in which they are presented can be interpreted as indicators of Individualism/Collectivism. The conclusions underline the validity of the chosen methodological approach, but also demonstrate the need for more comprehensive and theory-driven category schemes.
