"Controversy in Science Museums focuses on exhibitions that approach sensitive or controversial topics. With a keen sense of past and current practices, Pedretti and Navas Iannini examine and reimagine how museums and science centres can create exhibitions that embrace criticality and visitor agency. Drawing on international case studies and voices from visitors and museum professionals, as well as theoretical insights about scientific literacy and science communication, the authors explore the textured notion of controversy and the challenges and opportunities practitioners may encounter as they plan for, and develop, controversial science exhibitions. They assert that science museums can no longer serve as mere repositories for objects or sites for transmitting facts, but that they should instead become spaces for conversations that are inclusive, critical, and socially-responsible. Controversy in Science Museums provides an invaluable resource for museum professionals who are interested in creating and hosting controversial exhibitions, and for scholars and students working in the fields of museum studies, science communication, and social studies of science. Anyone wishing to engage in an examination and critique of the changing roles of science museums will find this book relevant, timely and thought-provoking"

Sommes-nous les premiers à distinguer dans les lumières éblouissantes du progrès technique, l’ombre de ses dangers ? En occultant la réflexivité environnementale des sociétés passées, ce schéma simpliste dépolitise l’histoire longue de la destruction des environnements et nous empêche de comprendre les ressorts de la crise contemporaine. Pour éviter cette amnésie, une histoire politique du risque technologique et de sa régulation sur la longue durée était nécessaire.L’Apocalypse joyeuse expose l’entrée de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne dans la modernité industrielle (fin XVIIIe-XIXe siècle) : celle des vaccins, des machines, des usines chimiques et des locomotives. Elle nous plonge au cœur des controverses vives qui surgirent autour des risques et des nuisances de ces innovations, et montre comment les critiques et les contestations furent réduites ou surmontées pour qu’advienne la société industrielle.L’histoire du risque ici racontée n’est pas celle d’une prise de conscience, mais celle de la construction d’une certaine inconscience modernisatrice.
