Накратко на български

Историческите научни списания от 1789 до 1914 г. в Европа показват как политическите и икономическите влияния са определяли статиите за Арктика. Разбирането на тези процеси помага за създаването на по-надеждна комуникация на научните данни, върху които се вземат държавни решения днес.

The influence of periodicals and their editorial contexts on scientific discourses of the Arctic, 1789-1914. Or: How the Arctic became Epistemological Space

As the Arctic Ocean ice melts, the Arctic region is attracting more and more attention from countries around the globe, including European states. To understand the risks and potentials of the Arctic ice melt, governments depend on scientific research. The more the Arctic becomes the focus of European and world-wide governments, economies and socio-cultural endeavours, the more the communicational infrastructure that carries scientific findings and knowledge on this region needs to be reliable and robust. This Action aims to further a central element of this infrastructure—namely the scientific journal. The way scientific insights are presented in scientific journals and communicated is ultimately linked with our everyday life: Arctic stakeholders and decision-makers use these insights, interpreting and adjusting their plans and strategies according to these insights. If scientific journals carry imprecise, unclear, false or overly generalising contents, this can lead to problematic decisions – and impact society. This Action approached today’s scientific journals on Arctic research in a novel and innovative way: through the transnational study of historical scientific journals of the long nineteenth century (1789-1914). As human-made artefacts, science journals have mirrored political, economic and socio-cultural forces since their very beginnings —and this Action’s aim was to investigate how exactly these forces have shaped editorial contents and contexts. More concretely, this was an investigation of both the editorial contexts and contents of articles related to the Arctic that appeared in scientific journals within the geographical area that today is home to Austria, the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland and Switzerland. If we understand how editorial processes formed earlier journal-based discourses on the Arctic, we can compare them to their counterparts of today, consider their strengths and weaknesses and take editorial Action to bolster current scientific discourses on the north polar region. This Action aimed to do so by bringing together history of science, media history, Arctic research and historical geography.

Цел на проекта

As the Central Arctic Ocean’s ice melts, the Arctic region is attracting more and more attention from countries around the globe, including European states. To understand the risks and potentials of the Arctic ice melt, governments depend on scientific research. The more the Arctic becomes the focus of European and world-wide governments, economies and socio-cultural endeavours, the more the communicational infrastructure that carries scientific findings and knowledge on this region needs to be reliable and robust. This action aims to further a central element of this infrastructure—namely the scientific journal. This action approaches today’s scientific journals on Arctic research in a novel and innovative way: through the transnational study of historical scientific journals of the long nineteenth century (1789-1914). As human-made artefacts, science journals have mirrored political, economic and socio-cultural forces since their very beginnings—and this action’s aim is to investigate how exactly these forces have shaped editorial contents and contexts. More concretely, this is an investigation of both the editorial contexts and contents of articles related to the Arctic that appeared in scientific journals within the geographical area that today is home to Austria, the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Russia, Switzerland and the United States. If we understand how editorial processes formed earlier journal-based discourses on the Arctic, we can compare them to their counterparts of today, consider their strengths and weaknesses and take editorial action to bolster current scientific discourses on the north polar region. This action aims to do so by bringing together history of science, media history, Arctic research and historical geography. Moreover, by way of two strategic Secondments, the action seeks to translate its findings into practical commentary and editorial suggestions for today’s science journals on north polar research.
