Description

During the Cold War, scientific discoveries were adapted and critiqued in many different forms of media across a divided Europe. Now, more than 30 years since the end of the Cold War, Science on Screen and Paper explores the intersections between scientific research and media by drawing from media history, film studies, and the history of science. From public relations material to educational and science films, from children’s magazines to television broadcasts, the contributions in this collected volume seek to embrace medial differences and focus on intersectional themes and strategies for the representation of science.

Mariana Ivanova is Associate Professor for German Film and Media and the Academic Director of the DEFA Film Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her  monograph, Cinema of Collaboration (Berghahn Books, 2019) was finalist for the international Willy Haas award. Her research has been published in The German Studies Review, The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, and in numerous edited volumes on East German and Central European cinema.

Juliane Scholz is a postdoctoral researcher and graduate coordinator at the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam, Germany. She has served as a senior lecturer and researcher at the University of Leipzig and a research scholar on the history of the Max Planck Society. Her publications have addressed the professionalization of creative and scientific occupations, as well as the exile and migration of filmmakers and intellectuals.
