摘要
十九世纪英国科学的公共文化,尤其从世纪中叶开始,是由一种丰富的媒介纠缠组成的.十九世纪重要的科学传播者在他们的实践活动中都是"跨媒体"的.本文将论证现代的媒介间性植根于十九世纪,科学普及从当时的书籍、杂志、讲座、博物馆和展览中开始兴起.虽然科学普及在许多不同的场所进行,它们共有三个明确的特征:它们拥抱混杂性;它们宣称有教育意义;它们致力于娱乐观众.随后本文将着重讨论约翰·乔治·伍德、约翰·亨利·佩珀、弗朗西斯·巴克兰、理查德·安东尼·普罗克特和乔治·亨利·巴霍夫纳如何以类似的方式向公众传播科学,采用跨媒体的风格进行实践,横跨多种不同的媒介,虽然他们自己并没有认识到这种形式.
Abstract
The public culture of nineteenth century science in Britain,especially from the mid-century on,was composed of a rich entanglement of media.The important communicators of science in the nineteenth century were"intermedial"in their practice.Here I will argue that the roots of modem intermediality lie in the nineteenth century,when the popularization of science in books,periodicals,lectures,museums,and exhibitions really started to take off.Although there were numerous sites where science was popularized,they shared three distinguishing characteristics:they embraced miscellaneity;they claimed to be educational;and they aimed to entertain their audiences.In what follows I will focus on how John George Wood,John Henry Pepper,Francis Buckland,Richard Anthony Proctor and George Henry Bachhoffner communicated science to the public in similar ways,practising in an intermedial fashion—though they would not have recognised the form—across a variety of different media.
