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

科学和科学知识被认为是交际建构的产物。传播是科学实践的核心。交往的变化引发了科学领域内部规则、科学领域在社会空间中的地位以及知识生产的变化。通常科学传播（科学传播以及学术传播）是中介传播。媒体的变化总是引发沟通的变化。该项目的目的是分析（技术）媒体变化对科学传播的影响。科学中介化是科学家自我概念及其日常实践的一个根本性的、激进的转变过程。然而，沟通的变化不能被解释的单因果概念，如技术分别媒体决定论。其理论框架是中介化（克罗茨）、场域理论（布迪厄）和后规范科学（丰托维奇和拉维茨）的结合。工作的假设是，特定于场域的中介化过程发生在一个动态的和复杂的系统中的几个元素和组件，可以被看作是历史上成长的逻辑之间的相互作用的结果，社会领域和结构，个人演员和惯习，社会空间的社会文化变化，和媒体创新。传统科学在科学学科中是有区别的。每个学科都形成了科学领域的一个特定的子领域，并具有特定的交流实践。与此相反，后常态科学的属性是跨学科和跨学科，这是由于复杂性、社会和政治相关性、紧急决策、公共利益和媒体关注。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了研究。传统科学的例子是有助于气候研究的学科（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员代表。工作计划包括媒体传记访谈，旨在重建科学媒体的变化和传播实践的变化，部分标准化的媒体日记结合重建采访有关的现状，媒介化。本探索性研究的目的是建立关于科学中介化领域特定过程的理论。

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.
