项目摘要

From a chart of DNA sequencing to NASA's image of the Horsehead Nebula, science today is highly visual, producing spectacular, intriguing and even baffling images. We take the visual dimension of science so much for granted that it is easy to forget that many of these images involve much processing and manipulating of data and it is even more difficult to imagine that incorporation of visual resources was not a self-evident development in the history of science. This network seeks to investigate the origins of science as a visual pursuit, where naturalists and natural philosophers worked with draughtsmen, painters and engravers and used drawings, engravings, tables and models as a means of understanding nature. In particular, it focuses on activities of the early Royal Society in order to investigate how a collective enterprise to visualize knowledge emerged in seventeenth-century England. The early Royal Society is an excellent case study because it was a collective body with an interest in visualizing knowledge: its Philosophical Transactions regularly included illustrations, it supported various illustrated publications, and a wealth of pictorial material has survived in the Society's archives and elsewhere. Many of its Fellows were also connoisseurs of art in a period when a rich culture of print was developing in England. By bringing together UK and international historians of science and historians of art and visual culture, and by involving a younger generation of students and scholars, this network asks the following research questions: How did images empower naturalists and natural philosophers to form innovative ideas and develop new practices? Was there any evidence of collective "seeing/picturing" appropriate for the collaborative ideal of the Royal Society? What was the process of publishing images, and what roles did authors, editors and artists play in the publication process of illustrated, scientific books? Did the interest in fine art and connoisseurship of some of the Fellows affect the way they drew or judged the validity of images produced for the Society? Is it possible to distinguish between 'artistic' and 'scientific' images? What were the problems or limitations, if any, perceived by the Fellows, of using images in understanding nature? By the end of the network, we hope to understand how scientific endeavour came to be an active and challenging process of making visible the structures and processes in nature that are normally invisible to the human eye.
从DNA测序图表到NASA的马头星云图像,今天的科学是高度视觉化的,产生壮观,有趣甚至令人困惑的图像。我们把科学的视觉维度看得如此理所当然,以至于很容易忘记,这些图像中有许多涉及大量的数据处理和操纵,更难想象的是,视觉资源的整合在科学史上不是一个不言而喻的发展。该网络试图调查科学作为一种视觉追求的起源,自然主义者和自然哲学家与绘图员,画家和雕刻师一起工作,并使用图纸,雕刻,表格和模型作为理解自然的手段。特别是,它侧重于早期的皇家学会的活动,以调查如何在十七世纪的英国出现了一个集体企业,以可视化的知识。早期的皇家学会是一个很好的案例研究,因为它是一个对可视化知识感兴趣的集体机构:它的哲学会刊定期包括插图,它支持各种插图出版物,并且在学会的档案和其他地方保存了大量的图片材料。它的许多研究员也是艺术鉴赏家在一个时期,丰富的印刷文化在英国发展。通过将英国和国际科学史学家、艺术史学家和视觉文化史学家聚集在一起,并让年轻一代的学生和学者参与其中,该网络提出了以下研究问题:图像如何使自然学家和自然哲学家能够形成创新思想并发展新的观点。实践?有没有任何证据表明集体“看/画”适合于皇家协会的合作理想?出版图像的过程是什么?作者、编辑和艺术家在插图科学书籍的出版过程中扮演什么角色?一些研究员对美术的兴趣和鉴赏力是否影响了他们绘画或判断为学会制作的图像的有效性?有可能区分“艺术”和“科学”的图像吗?研究员们认为,在利用图像了解自然方面存在哪些问题或局限性?在网络的最后,我们希望了解科学努力是如何成为一个积极和具有挑战性的过程,使自然界中通常肉眼看不到的结构和过程变得可见。
