Media of Science: Symposium at ESHS 2020 Bologna
About the visual, auditory, textual, architectural, and neuronal media of science
On September 1st, we organised the Symposium Media of Science at the 9th European Society for the History of Science (ESHS) Conference ‘Visual, Material and Sensory Cultures of Science’.
Within the conference theme, we focused on the visual, auditory, textual, architectural, and even neuronal media of science. The four contributions all explore different ways to find out more concretely how scientists have been thinking about media and media use in their different scientific practices.
With talks by:
Benoît Turquety (University of Lausanne):
“Philosophical Toys”: Science and the Invention of Media in the 19th Century
