Learning objectives
Acquisition of knowledge and skills in the historical analysis of scientific communication with specific reference to current good communication practices. Acquisition of knowledge and skills in current good practices of science communication in academic and non-academic contexts.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Good knowledge of the Italian language. Ability to understand, at least on a general level, sources of various kinds in English.
Program
The course consists of 36 hours (3 laboratory credits). The main themes addressed will be the following: 1. The turning point in scientific communication. The key elements that have contributed to the change in scientific communication (communicative turn) will be presented, discussed and analysed, starting from scientific dissemination in an academic science context and arriving at current communication, characterized by a post-academic science. 2. Science in laboratories and science in public. 3. Practices, problems and management of public science communication. 4. Characteristics of scientific communication today and of the current context in which communication takes place. 5. Analysis and discussion of the distinctive characteristics of contemporary scientific communication both in relation to the language of science and in relation to the "digital turn", new media and the debate on artificial intelligence (AI). 6. Emerging contexts of scientific communication, with a special focus on scientific and historical-naturalistic museums. 7. Good communication practices and digitalisation of collections functional to the circulation of knowledge in an increasingly interconnected world. This program may undergo variations/integrations/in-depth studies based on the interests and needs advanced by the students during the individual laboratory activities, maintaining the essential core of the training of basic skills in scientific communication.
