Panels details > Panel 56P56- The Politics of Meaning: Power-sensitive Approaches to Framing Research • Yanow Dvora (dvora.yanow@wur.nl), Wageningen University (Netherlands) • Van Hulst Merlijn (m.j.vanhulst@uvt.nl), Tilburg University [Tilburg] (Netherlands) Framing research has a long tradition in policy sciences and related disciplines and has shown how radically different the world can look depending on where you stand. We understand framing as the interactive processes of sensemaking, naming/categorizing and storytelling through which actors construct the meaning of policy issues. Framing research has generated insights into how actors make sense of policy issues, how they construct and contest frames in interaction with other actors, and how this affects the (in)tractability of policy processes. Still, the framing perspective warrants further development to realize its analytic potential for a dynamic and process-oriented approach that is politically nuanced and power-sensitive. A power-sensitive understanding of sensemaking processes and frame interactions would be very suitable for understanding interactions in formal political arenas, in governance networks, and in the encounters between street-level bureaucrats and their clients. We are particularly interested in the interactive processes of framing through which power is implicitly or explicitly at play, and how actors invoke or mobilize contextual and institutional conditions in these processes. The panel contains contributions that explore theoretically and/or empirically topics like the relation between framing and power, how frames privilege particular policies, actors and interests over others, the ways more or less powerful actors use framing for strategic purposes, the unintended power effects of framing processes, and the role of frames and counter-frames in struggles for power and influence.
