Science and technology culture is now more than ever at the very
heart of the social project, and all countries, to varying degrees,
participate in it: raising scientific literacy, improving the image
of the sciences, involving the public in debates and encouraging
the young to pursue careers in the sciences. Thus, the very destiny
of any society is now entwined with its ability to develop a
genuine science and technology culture, accessible for
participation not only to the few who, by virtue of their training
or trade, work in the science and technology fields, but to all,
thereby creating occasions for society to debate and to foster a
positive dialogue about the directions of change and future
choices. This book organized on the theme of 'knowing, sharing,
caring: new insights for a diverse world', which was derived from
the observation that globalization rests upon diversity-diversity
of contexts, publics, research, strategies and new innovating
practices-and aims to stimulate exchanges, discussions and debates,
to initiate a reflection conducive to decentring and to be an
opportunity for enrichment by providing the reader with means to
achieve the potentialities of that diversity through a comparison
of the visions that underpin the attitudes of social actors, the
challenges they perceive and the potential solutions they consider.
Thus, this book aims first and foremost to raise questions in such
a manner that readers so stimulated will feel compelled to
contribute and will do so. In this spirit, however significant, the
results presented and shared are less important than the questions
they seek to answer: How are we to rethink the diffusion, the
propagation and the sharing of scientific thought and knowledge in
an ever more complex and diverse world? What to know? What to
share? How do we do it when science is broken down across the whole
spectrum of the world's diversity? The book is recommended for
those who are interested in science communication and science
cultures in the new media era, in contemporary social dynamics, and
in the evolution of the role of the state and of institutions. It
is also an excellent reference for researchers engaging in science
communication, public understanding of science, cultural studies,
science and technology museum, science-society relationship and
other fields of humanities and social sciences.
