Les questions scientifiques et techniques sensibles dans le média exposition : le cas de la thématique alimentation et santé et du musée du pôle de compétitivité de la filière fruits et légumes

摘要

This research is focused on the display of socioscientific issues in science exhibitions. The concept of socioscientific issues has not been theorized in Information and Communication Sciences yet. It includes all the knowledge that does not bring consensus among the scientific community and that calls into question their social acceptability. Their integration to museums raise many issues concerning the kind of mediation that is adopted in the exhibition as a medium. The conduct of this thesis work is closely linked to its context of production, which is a CIFRE convention with the fruit and vegetable cluster. This one having a project of museum for fruit and vegetables, we worked professionally on the development of this project and academically we lead a reflexion about the display of one specific subject into science exhibitions, namely the link between food and health. The research begins with the building of a theoretical frame of the concept, that means the definition of socioscientific issues and the features of the subject of food-health relationships as a socioscientific issue. Then we propose a formal and contrastive analysis of 6 exhibitions dealing with this subject, with the goal of characterizing different mediation attitudes. Finally we focus the research on the development of the museum of fruit and vegetables by the cluster, in order to refine the results with a more specific analysis of the prefiguration of an exhibition device
