Résumé

Issues d'un colloque organisé en 2021, ces contributions analysent l'évolution du champ de la communication scientifique dans une approche axée sur la sociologie. Les relations entre le public et les sciences, l'intelligence artificielle, les traitements face à la pandémie de Covid-19, les fausses informations, les pseudosciences ou encore la collapsologie sont quelques-uns des thèmes abordés. ©Electre 2023

Quatrième de couverture
- Science communication : taking a step back to move forward
  For Science&You 2021, 16-19 November, the motto 'taking a step back to move forward' was chosen. Why did we come up with this idea ? We took this phrase to be an invitation for a moment of reflection when the field of science communication is booming, to hold our momentum and to observe and think about what is going on in the field.
  This book is structured to examine and elaborate on challenges in science communication, and to that end is subdivided in three sections, each of which is subdivided into two subthemes.
  The first section, titled Taking a step back, begins with the subtheme Taking stock (chapters 1 to 6), bringing together the international keynote speakers who address the larger issues related to science communication : Michel Dubois (CNRS, Sorbonne University, France) Gordon Gauchat (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, United States), Julien Giry (Université de Tours, France), Mehita Iqani (Stellenbosch University, South Africa), Kyoko Sato (Stanford University, United States), Peter Weingart (University of Bielefeld, Germany). The second subtheme, Public attitudes to science past and present (chapters 7 to 10) examines the emerging 'longue durée' perspective on the public's relationship with science.
  The second section deals with Current topics and tackles two issues : Artificial intelligence in society is composed of six chapters exploring facets of that debate (11 to 16). The second subtheme (chapters 17 to 22), Antibiotics, pandemics and vaccines, highlights antibiotic resistance as a pressing public issue that stayed very much in the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic.
  The third section, Old and new issues, brings together a selection of papers that focus on particular 'devils' (called Graoullys in Metz) of science communication. The first subtheme (chapters 23 to 29), which takes on debates crisscrossing the social sphere, is aptly titled Collapsology, pseudoscience, disinformation, fake news and scientism. The last subtheme (chapters 30 to 36), New opportunities, explores new avenues of reflection, such as the opportunities opened by the pandemic and the rapid institutionalisation of science communication.
  The Conclusion suggests going beyond the science/antiscience opposition and mapping discursive regimes.
