Reviews

“With a focus on global scientific culture during the Cold War, this anthology incisively demonstrates how scientific media were never simply transparent tools for research or pedagogy, but also crucial components within powerful geopolitical institutions.” • Benjamin Schultz-Figueroa, Seattle University.

Description

During the Cold War, scientific discoveries were adapted and critiqued in many different forms of media across a divided Europe. Now, more than 30 years since the end of the Cold War, Science on Screen and Paper explores the intersections between scientific research and media by drawing from media history, film studies, and the history of science. From public relations material to educational and science films, from children’s magazines to television broadcasts, the contributions in this collected volume seek to embrace medial differences and focus on intersectional themes and strategies for the representation of science.

Mariana Ivanova is Associate Professor for German Film and Media and the Academic Director of the DEFA Film Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her  monograph, Cinema of Collaboration (Berghahn Books, 2019) was finalist for the international Willy Haas award. Her research has been published in The German Studies Review, The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, and in numerous edited volumes on East German and Central European cinema.

Juliane Scholz is coordinator for science communication and public relations at the Collaborative Research Center “Sexdiversity – Determinants, Meanings and Implications of Sex Diversity in Sociocultural, Medical and Biological Landscapes” at the University of Lübeck.
