摘要

在数字媒体环境中，公众对诸如转基因生物(GMOs)等有争议的科学话题的科学参与已经大大扩大。但是公众在这种参与中作为科学传播者的角色实际上被忽视了。通过对知乎(中国最大的知识共享网络)上转基因生物讨论的在线人种志研究，本研究确定了一个新的群体:参与在线科学传播的公民科学传播者。这一新群体的出现和普及将公众参与科学带入了一个新的阶段——公众参与科学传播——并将公众在科学传播中的角色从受众转变为传播者。数字平台的发展和对科学传播认识的变革都促成了这一群体在中国数字环境中的出现和普及。

The new stage of public engagement with science in the digital media environment: citizen science communicators in the discussion of GMOs on Zhihu

In the digital media environment, public engagement with science around controversial scientific topics such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has greatly expanded. But the public's role as science communicators in such engagement has been virtually ignored. Through an online ethnography of the discussion of GMOs on Zhihu, the biggest Chinese knowledge-sharing network, this study identifies a new group: citizen science communicators involved in online science communication. The emergence and popularity of this new group brings public engagement with science to a new stage – public engagement with science communication – and changes the role of the public in science communication from audiences to communicators. The development of digital platforms and the revolution of the understanding of science communication all contribute to the emergence and popularity of this group in the Chinese digital environment.

期刊介绍： New Genetics and Society: Critical Studies of Contemporary Biosciences is a world-leading journal which: -Provides a focus for interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary, leading-edge social science research on the new genetics and related biosciences; -Publishes theoretical and empirical contributions reflecting its multi-faceted development; -Provides an international platform for critical reflection and debate; -Is an invaluable research resource for the many related professions, including health, medicine and the law, wishing to keep abreast of fast changing developments in contemporary biosciences. New Genetics and Society publishes papers on the social aspects of the new genetics (widely defined), including gene editing, genomics, proteomics, epigenetics and systems biology; and the rapidly developing biosciences such as biomedical and reproductive therapies and technologies, xenotransplantation, stem cell research and neuroscience. Our focus is on developing a better understanding of the social, legal, ethical and policy aspects, including their local and global management and organisation.
