Invisible Labour in Modern Science is about the people who are
concealed, eclipsed, or anonymised in accounts of scientific
research. Many scientific workers-including translators, activists,
archivists, technicians, curators, and ethics review boards-are
absent in formal publications and omitted from stories of
discovery. Scientific reports are often held to ideals of
transparency, yet they are the result of careful judgments about
what (and what not) to reveal. Professional scientists are often
celebrated, yet they are expected to uphold principles of
'objective' self-denial. The emerging and leading scholars writing
in this book negotiate such silences and omissions to reveal how
invisibilitieshave shaped twentieth and twenty-first century
science. Invisibility can be unjust; it can also be powerful. What
is invisible to whom, and when does this matter? How do power
structures built on hierarchies of race, gender, class, and nation
frame what can be seen? And for those observing science: when does
the recovery of the 'invisible' serve social justice and when does
it invade privacy? Tackling head-on the silences and dilemmas that
can haunt historians, this book transforms invisibility into a
guide for exploring the moral sensibilities and politics of science
and its history.
Official Tourism Websites: A Discourse Analysis Perspective
investigates the construction and promotion of identity of tourist
locales by the designers of the official websites for destinations
such as Santiago de Compostela, Spain; the Baltic states of Latvia
and Estonia; New Orleans, Louisiana and Gary, Indiana;
Myanmar/Burma; US Sports Halls of Fame; and, in recognizing the
influence and popularity of such sites, three websites parodying
the imaginary nations of Phaic Tan, Molvania, and San Sombrero.
Analysis addresses how tourism websites foster social action and,
therefore, contribute to the (re)construction of nations and other
communities by variably fostering re-imagination, rebirth,
renaissance, promotion and caution, and patriotism. Recognizing
that tourism texts can function to both construct and embody
identity for their respective locales, this investigation employs
critical discourse analysis, multimodal discourse analysis, and
visual semiotic analysis in the investigation of web texts and
images.
Methods for the Ethnography of Communication is a guide to
conducting ethnographic research in classroom and community
settings that introduces students to the field of ethnography of
communication, and takes them through the recursive and nonlinear
cycle of ethnographic research. Drawing on the mnemonic that Hymes
used to develop the Ethnography of SPEAKING, the authors introduce
the innovative CULTURES framework to provide a helpful structure
for moving through the complex process of collecting and analyzing
ethnographic data and addresses the larger "how-to" questions that
students struggle with when undertaking ethnographic research.
Exercises and activities help students make the connection between
communicative events, acts, and situations and ways of studying
them ethnographically. Integrating a primary focus on language in
use within an ethnographic framework makes this book an invaluable
core text for courses on ethnography of communication and related
areas in a variety of disciplines.
