Legitimizing ESS : big science as a collaboration across boundaries

För svensk text, se nedan.

‘Big Science’ is a broad epithet that can be associated with research projects as different as the Manhattan Project, the Hubble Telescope- construction, and the CERN-establishment in Geneva.

While the science produced by these projects is vastly different, they have in common the fact that they all involve huge budgets, big facilities, complex instrumentation, years of planning, and large multidisciplinary teams of researchers.

In Legitimizing ESS the authors examine the complexity of the cultural, social, and political processes from which and in which Big Science develops. They do so by focusing upon the planning and development of the European Spallation Source, ESS, that is to be located in Lund in southern Sweden. Together, the chapters represent a variety of perspectives to highlight the complexity of the processes that are integral to Big Science. Thus, this volume examines the very different roles Big Science may be given in different contexts: locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, as well as historically.

Legitimizing ESS is based on the research of scholars based at Lund University from the disciplines of archive and library sciences, art history and visual studies, ethnology, gender studies, geography, history of ideas and sciences, media and communication, philosophy, and policy research.

———–

Big Science Àr ett brett begrepp som kan förknippas med sÄ skilda forskningsföreteelser som Manhattanprojektet, Hubbleteleskopet och CERN. Trots att den vetenskap som bedrivs vid dessa anlÀggningar Àr vÀsensskild har de det gemensamt att de krÀver stora resurser och stora anlÀggningar liksom sofistikerade och dyra instrument, stora tvÀrvetenskapliga forskarlag och mÄnga Ärs planering.

I Legitimizing ESS undersöker författarna de komplicerade kulturella, sociala och politiska processer som ligger till grund för uppkomsten och utvecklingen av Big Science. De gör det genom att fokusera pÄ förberedelserna av European Spallation Source, ESS, som planeras att byggas i Lund. Tillsammans representerar kapitlen olika perspektiv som frilÀgger hur olika processer samverkar i skapandet av Big Science. Denna bok handlar med andra ord om de olika roller som Big Science kan spela i olika sammanhang: lokalt, regionalt, nationellt och internationellt sÄvÀl som historiskt.

Legitimizing ESS Àr baserad pÄ vetenskapligt arbete av forskare vid Lunds universitet frÄn ÀmnesomrÄden som biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap, konsthistoria och visuella studier, etnologi, genusvetenskap, ekonomisk geografi, idéhistoria, media- och kommunikationsvetenskap, forskningspolitiska studier samt filosofi.
