SUMMARY:Science as communication - Jim Secord (Department of History and P
 hilosophy of Science)
DTSTART:20250213T153000Z

CONTACT:Dr. Rosanna Dent
DESCRIPTION:Science is a form of communication\, but its analysis from thi
 s standpoint has often been fragmented between diverse approaches and spec
 ialties\, from textual criticism and media sociology to book history\, cit
 ation analysis and translation studies. As a result\, work not devoted to 
 these subjects often implicitly treats the communicative dimension of scie
 nce as an afterthought\, managed after the main work is done. This talk ai
 ms to bring communication to the centre of our understanding of science. M
 y goal is not to offer a unified overview of the vast literatures on pragm
 atics\, translation\, visual culture\, the philosophy of linguistics and o
 ther areas\, but to point to practical perspectives that might help in int
 erpreting science at every stage as communicative action.
