Abstract

This special issue explores the power that images with a techno-scientific content can have in international relations. As we introduce the articles in the collection, we highlight how the study of this influence extends current research in the separate (but increasingly interacting) domains of history of science and technology, and political science. We then show how images of different types (photographs, cartoons and plots) can inform inter-state transactions through their public appeal alongside the better-studied dialogic practices of the diplomatic arena. Finally, we offer an analysis of the interlacing of different diplomatic tracks based on words and images and conclude that, in contrast with words, images conflate agency and argument, therefore creating opportunities to inform transactions and negotiations which their designers may not have even intended.

介绍:动力到形象!科学、技术和视觉外交。
本期特刊探讨了科技图片在国际关系中的影响力。在介绍文集中的文章时,我们强调了对这种影响的研究如何扩展了科学技术史和政治学这两个独立(但日益相互作用)领域的当前研究。然后,我们展示了不同类型的图像(照片,漫画和情节)如何通过其公众吸引力以及外交舞台上更好研究的对话实践来告知国家间的交易。最后,我们对基于文字和图像的不同外交轨道的交错进行了分析,并得出结论,与文字相比,图像将代理和论点混为一谈,因此创造了为交易和谈判提供信息的机会,而这些交易和谈判的设计者可能甚至没有打算这样做。
