New Project: „The De- and Restabilising of Evidence in the Corona Crisis“
In autumn 2021, as part of the DFG Research Group, a new project “The De- and Restabilising of Evidence in the Corona Crisis” will begin. The project aims to investigate how the production, negotiation, and communication of biomedical evidence takes place within the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic. The Mainz project strand examines the role of social media as a discourse space for conflicts of evidence. The idea behind the project is, that media spaces represent places of negotiation for evidence, which have a specific relevance for the contemporary relationship between science and the public. On social media, the boundaries between science and the public, the internal and non-scientific public, are relativized.
New Publication: Karin Zachmann, “Relativ sicher?” (Relatively Safe?)
Karin Zachmann has published a new article, “Relativ sicher? Das Kernkraftrisiko als Herausforderung der Fürsorgediktatur der DDR” (Relatively Safe? The nuclear power risk as a challenge to the welfare dictatorship of the GDR), which appears in Volume 48 of the Tel Aviv Yearbook for German History, Made in Germany. Technologie, Geschichte und Literatur, edited by Galili Shahar, Sagi Schaefer, and Shaul Katzir, 2020.
From the publishers (translated):
… What we call modernity today is not least an era of technology. Individuals and societies have experienced a profound transformation through technological inventions and productions; new machines have changed work and warfare, living and mobility, language and communication, social and economic relationships. The authors of the Tel Aviv Yearbook 2020 interrogate the historical conditions and consequences of modern technologies: how have new machines influenced the modes of life and writing in Germany and elsewhere?
