Mediatized scientific communication in post-normal science and traditional science: field-specific mediatization

科学和科学知识是交往建构的产物。交流是科学实践的中心。交往变革引发了关于内部领域规则、科学场在社会空间中的地位以及知识生产的科学变革。通常，科学传播(科学传播和学术传播)都是中介传播。媒体的变化总是会引发传播的变化。这个项目的目的是分析(技术)媒体变化对科学传播的影响。科学的中介化是关于科学家的自我概念以及他们的日常实践的一个基本和根本的转变过程。然而，传播变化不能用技术和媒介决定论等单一因果概念来解释。本文的理论框架是中介化(Krotz)、场论(Bourdieu)和后师范科学(Funtoicz&Ravetz)的结合。工作假设是，特定领域的调解化进程发生在由若干要素和组成部分组成的动态和复杂系统中，可以被视为社会领域和结构、个人行为者和习惯、社会空间的社会文化变化和媒体创新等历史发展逻辑相互作用的结果。传统科学在科学学科上有所区别。每一门学科都形成了科学领域的一个特定的子领域，具有特定的交流实践。相比之下，由于复杂性、社会和政治相关性、紧急决策、公共利益和媒体关注，后常态科学的属性是跨学科和跨学科。这项实证研究比较了传统科学和后常态科学，并将气候研究作为后常态科学的一个例子进行调查。传统科学的例子是有助于气候研究的学科(例如气象学、土壤学、物理学、地理学、海洋学、社会学、政治学、传播学)。他们将由不在气候研究领域工作但扎根于各自学科领域的人代表。工作计划包括媒体传记采访，目的是重建科学媒体的变化和传播做法的变化，部分标准化媒体日记，并结合关于调解现状的重建采访。本探索性研究的目的是关于特定领域的科学中介过程的理论建设。

Science and scientific knowledge are regarded as products of communicative construction. Communication is the central scientific practice. Communicative change provokes scientific change concerning internal field rules, the position of the scientific field in the social space, and the production of knowledge. Usually scientific communication (science communication as well as scholarly communication) is mediated communication. Media change always provokes communicative change. The aim of this project is to analyze the effects of (technological) media change on scientific communication. Mediatization of science is a fundamental and radical process of transformation concerning the self-conception of scientist as well as their everyday practices. However, communicative change cannot be explained by mono-causal concepts like technological respectively media determinism. The theoretical framework is the combination of mediatization (Krotz), field theory (Bourdieu) and post-normal science (Funtowicz & Ravetz). The working hypothesis is that the process of field-specific mediatization takes place within a dynamic and complex system of several elements and components and can be seen as the result of the interplay between historically grown logics of social fields and structures, individual actors and habitus, socio-cultural change of the social space, and media innovation. Traditional science is differentiated in scientific disciplines. Each discipline forms a specific sub-field of the scientific field with specific practices of communication. In contrast attributes of post-normal science are interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity due to complexity, social and political relevance, urgent decisions, public interest, and media attention. The empirical study compares traditional and post-normal science and investigates climate research as an example of post-normal science. Examples of traditional science are disciplines which contribute to climate research (e.g. meteorology, soil sciences, physics, geography, oceanography, sociology, political science, communication studies). They will be represented by persons who are not working within climate research but are rooted in the respective disciplinary field. The work plan encompasses media-biographical interviews with the intention to reconstruct the change of scientific media and the change of practices of communication, and partly standardized media diaries combined with reconstructive interviews concerning the status quo of mediatization. The aim of this exploratory study is theory building concerning field-specific processes of mediatization of science.
