“…As more or less robust manifestations of expert knowledge, these and other forms of evidence tend to be regarded as collectively held and hardly questionable body of facts" (Strassheim and Korinek 2016, p. 116). Since facts do not speak for themselves but need to be made evident (Wilke et al 2018), members of epistemic communities stage this knowledge in expert briefings or try to reach out through broadcasted press conferences (Beck 2012; Hajer 2012). Thus, type one objects fit neatly into a conventional narrative of evidence-based policy, since it suggests a consensual knowledge base that ends epistemic uncertainty (Haas 2004;Esguerra 2015).…”

This paper advances current scholarship on future practices and anticipation arguing that the ways in which we engage in future making not only rely on distinct practices but also on objects, future objects. Future objects are defined as an array of socio-material entities that underpin future practices. In drawing on science studies, this paper develops a typology of future objects that takes as its ordering mechanism the political work future objects perform. Type one future objects are solid and ready to use. Their political work is to secure the present by allowing for political agreements that concern the future. Based on a linear model of expertise, this type of future object provides answers in speaking truth to power. Bodies and instruments, databases and power points are involved when producing, as well as performing, type one objects. Type two future objects are about the experimental infrastructure for creating futures. Foresight conferences organize space with the aim in mind to come up with novel visions of sustainable futures in the Anthropocene. Finally, type three future objects are more fluid and still in the making. They are collectively worked on in iterative cycles. Examples range from prototypes of climate engineering to negotiation texts of global environmental agreements. They operate as a centering device and materialize in artifacts integrating participants contributions. In outlining the difference between the three object types, the paper elaborates on the sociomaterial politics of anticipation especially with regard to science policy interaction.

“…To deepen our understanding of such processes, we turn to embodied communicative processes and focus on the understudied area of visuals in inter-and transdisciplinary science communication. We discuss some findings of two different research projects, supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG), on transdisciplinary science communication (Hill, 2016(Hill, , 2017 and interdisciplinary communication in science (Lettkemann & Wilke, 2016;Wilke, Lettkemann, & Knoblauch, 2018). Both terms refer to the communication (and partly intersubjective validation) of scientific knowledge.…”

“…We share the major assumptions of communicative constructivism within this empirical-theoretical framework. Our research projects focus on the empirical modes of interand transdisciplinary science communication within the frame of scientific knowledge production (Bechtel, 2004), (re-)presentation (Alać, 2008) and communication (Lettkemann, Wilke, & Knoblauch, 2018). We have found that both these spheres are tremendously shaped by new communication practices and technologies of visualization.…”

In this article, we focus on the communicative character of visuality and visual representations (“visuals”) in transdisciplinary science communication (science slams) and interdisciplinary communication within science (group talks). We propose a methodology for the study of visuality and the use of visuals as communicative actions. Both unfold within a triadic structure of social actors and the objectivations they (re-)produce. Therefore, we combine the approach of videography and focused ethnography. This research design allows not only putting actions under an audiovisual microscope but also to combine ethnographic knowledge stemming from fieldwork with the audiovisual analysis in front of screens. Using data from our empirical fields (science communication in science slams as well as communication within science in group talks), we illustrate the vital role of visuality of new practices in the communicative construction of (scientific) reality. In doing so, we also emphasize the importance of audiovisual methods for qualitative empirical social research today.
