Résumé
This Indo-European led collaboration aims to map the cultural authority of science, and to construct a system of indicators to observe this ‘science culture’ based on artefacts (science news analysis) and espoused beliefs and evaluations (public attitude data).
Texte suppl.
"It is difficult to overstate the prescience of this book. In short, this is essential reading for anyone studying science communication, public perceptions of science and cultural authority more broadly. [...] The Cultural Authority of Science begins with a brilliant conceptual overview, well-grounded in social scientific theory spanning sociology, political science, science communications, epistemology and ethics. Here, the authors provide the connecting fabric for the set of empirical studies that follow. The empirical research making up the core of the book includes data from every corner of the globe. This contribution is considerable because there is so little research on perceptions of science outside Western Europe and the United States. [...]the book’s definition of cultural authority provides a unifying concept for future research spanning disciplinary and methodological boundaries."
