Abstract

The 2022 World Fair (aka ‘Expo’) held in Dubai has recently drawn to a close. The next Expo will be hosted by Buenos Aires in 2023; the one after that will be staged in Osaka in 2025.

近日，在迪拜举行的2022年世界博览会(又名“世博会”)落下帷幕。下一届世博会将于2023年在布宜诺斯艾利斯举办;下一届将于2025年在大阪举行。这些世博会都与第一届世博会有关:1851年在伦敦举行的世博会。当然，“伟大”这个词是一种轻描淡写的说法。1851年的事件，以及随后发生的事件，过去是，现在仍然是巨大的事业。它们需要多年的规划，吸引数百万游客，并服务于各种文化和政治目的。这些博览会的建造和设计都是为了“炫目”——莎拉·柯比(Sarah Kirby)在她的书中用这个词来描述博览会对感官的有时压倒性的影响(第52页)。[…]

期刊介绍： Science in Context is an international journal edited at The Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas, Tel Aviv University, with the support of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. It is devoted to the study of the sciences from the points of view of comparative epistemology and historical sociology of scientific knowledge. The journal is committed to an interdisciplinary approach to the study of science and its cultural development - it does not segregate considerations drawn from history, philosophy and sociology. Controversies within scientific knowledge and debates about methodology are presented in their contexts.
