Investigating Taiwan's Integrated Scenarios of Climate Change through Visualization Rhetoric in Science Communication

[[abstract]]Visualization rhetoric is used as an analytical framework to examinethe visualized texts 'telling the story' of climate change issues in Taiwan from 2000 to 2017. The categories, characteristics, and visualization techniques from a variety of climate-related visual images andcontexts will be explored from the perspectives of visual persuasiveness, visual performance, and visual value. Devices for understanding the epistemological value and cultural function of data visualization and new ways to link human activity with changing climate issues of climate change are explored. From this analysis, four integrated scenarios were developed: Preferred (green Taiwan), Disowned (expert system), Integrated (a culture of foresight), and Disintegrated (Giddens' paradox). © 2018 Tamkang Journal of International Affairs.
