International audience ; The aim of this article is to show that focus groups (FGs) are a relevant method forthe study of social representations of ecological practices and the meanings they haveacquired in different socio-cultural contexts. First, relevant theoretical elements aboutecological practices and representations are mentioned. Then, our different steps ofdesigning FGs are detailed. A comparison between French and German FGs illustratesdifferent processes of social representations and evidences how the tasks andstimuli structure group discussions about practices. Results highlight the role of themajority's opinion in facing scientific uncertainty and in the evaluation of ecologicalpractices. They also point out different ways of anchoring them. For the French participants,ecological practices are means of acting according to political values, whereasfor the German group members, they are compromises between individual and altruisticinterests.

International audience ; Climate change is a major current affair for which recent United Nations climate conferences aim tobuild consensus and develop international solutions. The objective of this article is to compare,through the theoretical lens of social representations, the way in which French and German media,specifically newspapers, represent the Bali climate conference. We use the triangulation of dataanalysis to take both the pragmatic and the semantic aspects of media discourse into account.Results show that German media adopt both a local and a global vision of climate change andof the conference. Religious metaphors highlight a moral dimension of the conference, suggestinganchoring in human and political categories. In contrast, in French media, we identify that conflictsbetween countries render the stakes of climate change concrete by war metaphors. The Frenchdiscourses examined are shown to be organised through the anchoring of political and financialcategories. Results are discussed in relation to the history of green movements in the twocountries and in relation to practical implications.
