The paper discusses the use of term 'advocacy science' which is communication of science which goes beyond simple reporting of scientific findings, using the case study of biotechnology. It argues that advocacy science should be used to distinguish the engagement of modern civil society organizations to interpret scientific knowledge for their lobbying. It illustrates how this new communicative process has changed political discourse in science and general perception of the role of science in contemporary society.
本文讨论了“倡导科学”这一术语的使用,即超越简单报告科学发现的科学传播,以生物技术为例进行了说明。本文认为,应该使用倡导科学来区分现代民间社会组织为其游说目的而对科学知识的参与诠释。本文说明了这一新的传播过程如何改变了科学领域的政治话语以及公众对科学在当代社会中作用的普遍看法。
