Abstract

Analyzing the role of journalists in science communication, this book presents a perspective on how this is going to evolve in the twenty-first century. The book takes three distinct perspectives on this interesting subject. Firstly, science journalists reflect on their 'operating rules' (science news values and news making routines). Secondly, a brief history of science journalism puts things into context, characterising the changing output of science writing in newspapers over time. Finally, the book invites several international journalists or communication scholars to comm

Abstract

Fritz Zwicky was one of the most inventive and iconoclastic scientists of the twentieth century. Among other accomplishments, he was the first to infer the existence of dark matter. He also clashed with better-known peers and became a pariah in the scientific community. John Johnson, Jr.,'s biography brings this tempestuous maverick alive.

Abstract

De Fontenelle à Gaston Tissandier, la Vulgarisation trace son chemin, à travers les remous de l’Histoire, avec les abbés Nollet, Pluche et Moigno – soucieux de concilier religion et science – et les républicains Arago, Figuier, Flammarion, Meunier, Jules Verne et tant d’autres. Elle permet à un public de plus en plus varié, grâce aux progrès de la presse et de l’imprimerie, de suivre de près les découvertes scientifiques, mais aussi de comprendre les progrès techniques qui modifient la vie "idienne : le chemin de fer, l’électricité, les ascenseurs, la bicyclette et l’automobile, etc. Ce public peut même assister aux démonstrations, lors des grandes Expositions universelles qui éclairent le siècle. Des collections spécialisées voient le jour, Manuels Roret, Bibliothèque des Merveilles. Les premières revues périodiques de vulgarisation se multiplient. Cosmos et La Nature préfigurent les revues modernes. De grandes revues généralistes, la Revue des Deux Mondes, Le Magasin pittoresque, l’Illustration n’hésitent pas à publier des articles de vulgarisation.

Abstract

Vulgarisation, mode d’emploi est le premier guide de vulgarisation. Il offre des réponses concrètes aux scientifiques et ingénieurs souhaitant partager leurs savoirs avec le plus grand nombre. Véritable manuel pratique, il décrit les règles de base, les pièges à éviter, les différents modes de vulgarisation et de médiation scientifiques, sans oublier les aspects concrets des petits et grands projets de médiation scientifique. Aujourd’hui, s’exprimer clairement sur les sciences est indispensable pour développer ses collaborations, décrocher des financements, intéresser les médias, et attirer des étudiants. Mais aussi pour se rapprocher des citoyens, souvent déboussolés face aux sciences et à leurs applications. Au-delà des scientifiques, ce livre s’adresse à tous les experts d’un domaine – médecins, économistes, hommes de loi, techniciens, qui ont besoin de communiquer avec des non-spécialistes. Qui est mon public ? Quelles sont ses attentes ? Est-ce possible de simplifier sans déformer ? Quelles astuces pour accrocher l’intérêt de mon auditoire ? Où se former à la vulgarisation ? Comment interagir avec des journalistes ? Ai-je le droit de parler dans les médias sans l’autorisation de ma hiérarchie ? Comment utiliser au mieux les possibilités d’Internet ? Autant de questions que se pose l’apprenti-vulgarisateur, qui trouvera dans ce livre des réponses et des conseils directement applicables. Mais surtout, il y dénichera des idées pour inventer sa propre manière de vulgariser. Basé sur une expérience de plus de 10 ans de formations à la vulgarisation, alliée à une connaissance approfondie du monde scientifique et des médias, cet ouvrage s’appuie sur des exemples vécus, des témoignages de chercheurs et de journalistes. Des vulgarisateurs parmi les plus connus livrent leur vision de cet art complexe et captivant qu’est la médiation scientifique.

Abstract

Imagine a stage full of black cats emitting electrical sparks, a man catching bullets with his teeth, or an evangelist jumping on a transformer to shoot bolts of lightning through his fingertips. These and other wild schemes were part of the repertoire of showmen who traveled from city to city, making presentations that blended science with myth and magic. In Wonder Shows, Fred Nadis offers a colorful history of these traveling magicians, inventors, popular science lecturers, and other presenters of “miracle science” who revealed science and technology to the public in awe-inspiring fashion. The book provides an innovative synthesis of the history of performance with a wider study of culture, science, and religion from the antebellum period to the present. It features a lively cast of characters, including electrical “wizards” Nikola Tesla and Thomas Alva Edison, vaudeville performers such as Harry Houdini, mind readers, UFO cultists, and practitioners of New Age science. All of these performers developed strategies for invoking cultural authority to back their visions of science and progress. The pseudo-science in their wonder shows helped promote a romantic worldview that called into question the absolute authority of scientific materialism while reaffirming the importance of human spirituality. Nadis argues that the sensation that these entertainers provided became an antidote to the alienation and dehumanization that accompanied the rise of modern America. Although most recent defenders of science are prone to reject wonder, considering it an ally of ignorance and superstition, Wonder Shows demonstrates that the public’s passion for magic and meaning is still very much alive. Today, sales continue to be made and allegiances won based on illusions that products are unique, singular, and at best, miraculous. Nadis establishes that contemporary showmen, corporate publicists, advertisers, and popular science lecturers are not that unlike the magicians and mesmerists of years ago.

Abstract

In Presented Discourse in Popular Science , Olga A. Pilkington explores the forms and functions of the voices of scientists in books written for non-professionals. This study confirms the importance of considering presentation of discourse outside of literary fiction: popular science uses presented discourse in ways uncommon for fiction yet not conventional for non-fiction either. This analysis is an acknowledgement of the social consequences of popularization. Discourse presentation of scientists reconstructs the world of the scientific community as a human space but also projects back into it an image of the scientist the public wants to see. At the same time, Pilkington’s findings strengthen the view of popularization that rejects the notion of a strict divide between professional and popular science.
