The popularization of plate tectonics: presenting the concepts of dynamics and time
There have been many attempts to describe and represent the theory of plate tectonics to laypeople. In the context of a study conducted at the request of a museum, we have tried to determine how the concepts of both geological time and the movements of the plates have been reformulated. After having systematically studied in detail publications aimed at more or less educated readers, we have selected a corpus of twelve articles from nine different magazines or journals. Among the different means of expression used by the popularizers, rhetorical figures constitute a significant resource. Procedures based on analogy (metaphor, comparison, analogical reasoning) were brought together in a sing…

Les représentations spatiales de concepts scientifiques : inventaire et diversité
The consultation of twelve journals (French and English language) that deal with science education, for the years 1991 to 1993, allowed us to summarize the use of spatial representations of scientific concepts in didactics research. Two main results were produced from this study : there has not been much work published with spatial representations, and what has been published is very heterogeneous. Analysis of this diversity does not always allow us to understand the authors’ objectives and obliges researchers in didactics to think about the nature and role of spatial representations in the construction of scientific knowledge.
Language constraints in producing prefiguration posters for a scientific exhibition
The museographic transposition of scientific knowledge leads notably to the preparation of exhibition posters. This is a delicate operation, on account of the constraints imposed by space, language, concepts and the text. These difficulties are even greater in the case of bovine reproduction biotechnologies, such as cloning, where knowledge is not yet stable. This paper deals with the choices made during the phase of museographic transposition. First of all, based on an epistemological approach, a historical analysis of knowledge-building underpins the choice of information to be presented. Language is then selected according to the linguistic analysis of a series of articles which popular…
De l’interprétation au centre d’interprétation
En 1999, la Lettre de l’Ocim consacrait son numéro 61 à la question de l’interprétation sous forme d’une série de contributions coordonnées par Daniel Jacobi et Annick Meunier.Un séminaire organisé à Dijon en janvier 2008 à l’université de Bourgogne, à l’initiative du Centre de Recherche sur la Culture et les Musées, s’est donné comme objectif de revisiter la notion d’interprétation, d’évaluer l’extension actuelle de la référence à ce principe, près d’une décennie après la première publication, sur la base d’une nouvelle série d’études de cas.La présente livraison de la Lettre se fait naturellement l’écho de ce nouveau tour d’horizon à la fois théorique et pratique, en publiant ce nouveau d…
