Wissenschaft und Populärkultur

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Forschungsfeld Wissenschaftskommunikation

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem bislang verhältnismäßig wenig erforschten Bereich Wissenschaft und Populärkultur und fokussiert hier vor allem auf Wissenschaft in Unterhaltungsmedien und –formaten, wie etwa Spielfilmen, Fernsehserien und Comics und Cartoons. Er beschäftigt sich zuerst mit den Interaktionen zwischen Populärkultur, Forschung und Wissenschaft und untersucht anhand ausgewählter Beispiele den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs über Wissenschaft. Ein weiterer Aspekt, der in dem Beitrag behandelt wird, betrifft den Wandel in der Inszenierung von Wissenschaft in Populärmedien und unterschiedliche stereotype Darstellungen von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern. Der letzte Abschnitt beschäftigt sich mit zukünftigen Forschungsperspektiven und dem weiteren Forschungsbedarf hinsichtlich des Themenkomplexes Wissenschaft und Populär – und Unterhaltungskultur.
