Abstract

•MDA analysis of local voices adds to the complexity of sustainable development in the mining context.•This study reveals that touring a company's physical site and paying attention to discourses in place triggers frames that open up alternative discourses.•MDA's focus on multimodality helps to bring together and jointly analyse the biophysical and social elements of the environment.•By combining MDA, nexus analysis methodology and framing, this article reveals how framing provides a basis for comparing different ways of representing SD.•This study shows local-local activists' unique use of discourses in place as mediational means to communicate a message of negative social environmental effects.
