Description

This project investigates media's role in technoscience controversies by focusing on four case studies from India: issues of chronic toxicity in the continuing aftermath of the Bhopal gas disaster; disputes over regulating emission of potentially carcinogenic electromagnetic radiation by mobile towers; battles over building atomic power plants between nuclear nationalists on one hand and anti-nuclear pacifists and affected local communities on the other; public deliberations leading to a moratorium on genetically modified eggplants. I do not suggest that each technology determines its own particular discourse. Rather, I focus on how science as culture interacts with media discourses and cultural values: newsworthiness, nationalism, security, framing, globalization, and democracy. The debates I explore are not restricted to "objective" scientific processes, but are instead marked by incommensurable values, competing expertise, and radical uncertainties. These controversies spiral out in the public domain, where the expressive and persuasive characteristics of media prove crucial.
