Museum film as a means of making museums
This paper explores the potential offered by a cinematographic approach to the study of museums, particularly science centres. By setting up an intermedial lens that maps between the museum medium and film – particularly the visitor experiences in museums onto a specific genre of museum film – correspondences between these media and their respective ‘grammars’ are analysed. After a brief overview of the relationship between museums and film in th…
Sounds and repercussions of war
This paper examines the complex and evolving relationship between science and the military in the development of listening technologies by British, French and German combatants during the First World War to combat increasingly effective ballistics and artillery on the Western Front. Land-based combat changed from the visual to the aural with an increasing selection of audio-based surveillance technologies being made available, notably sound-rangi…
Introduction
In a recent book on The Publics of Science; Experts and Laymen Through History , Agustí Nieto-Galan introduced his subject of a (mostly Western) history of public science, covering the times from the Scientific Revolution to the twenty-first century, with reference to Sigmund Freud. In one of his essays of cultural critique, Freud had, so to speak, put culture itself on his couch, and this session also featured talk about science and technologica…

Popular Science as CulturalDispositif
ArgumentGerman twentieth-century history is characterized by stark changes in the political system and the momentous consequences of World Wars I and II. However, instead of uncovering specific kinds or periods of "Kaiserreich science," "Weimar science," or "Nazi science" together with their public manifestations and in such a way observing a narrow link between popular science and political orders, this paper tries to exhibit some remarkable sta…
Nach der Popularisierung
On the basis of an analysis of popular German journals and book series of science communication the question is posed whether the relation between science and public took on different forms in the 20th century compared to those that had been widely discussed for the 19th century under the term science "popularization." It is argued that marked changes in this relation occurred around 1900 and again in the passage from the 1950s to the 1960s. Inst…
Kosmos, Koralle und Kultur‐Milieu. Zur Bedeutung der populären Wissenschaftsvermittlung im späten Kaiserreich und in der Weimarer Republik
Kosmos, Koralle and Cultural Milieu. On the Role of Popular Science Communication in the late Kaiserreich and Weimar Germany. This paper discusses the role of popular science communication for the ‘cultural milieu’ or more generally the ‘environment’ of scientists and science in Germany between c. 1900 and 1933 in the sense of Paul Forman. On the rich basis of diverse journals aiming at a differentiated public the discourse on atomic physics is s…
Physik und Politik in der frühen Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Max Born, Werner Heisenberg und Pascual Jordan als politische Grenzgänger
Physics and Politics in the Early Federal Republic of Germany. Max Born, Werner Heisenberg and Pascual Jordan between Scientific and Political Discourse. – Contrasting the historiography of two major developments in 20th century German history, the creation of quantum mechanics in 1925 and the dispute on the nuclear armament of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1957, the question is raised to which extent the scientific culture was able to bridg…

Die Entwicklung der Sozialgeschichte der modernen Mathematik und Naturwissenschaft und die Frage nach dem sozialen Raum zwischen Disziplin und Wissenschaftler
The use of the concept of social history of science is sketched in the Anglo‐American and the German discussions from the mid 1970s up to recent work. By presenting a ‘social map’ of a selected scientific community it is argued that between the categories of discipline and single scientist there exists a wide ‘social space’ of groups within which science is pursued. In adopting a milieu theoretic approach an ecology of science is proposed as a su…
