englischEvidence has become a key resource within our knowledge society. At the same time, during the course of the 20th century, negotiations on the validity of knowledge became a political and controversial phenomenon which has since shaped the multiple fields of science, technology, politics, medicine and society. As the diagnosis of a ‘post-factual age’ makes clear: knowledge will not be accepted in modern society per se; instead knowledge operators have to satisfy demands to give validity to their findings. But which practices should they apply for this purpose? How is the validity of knowledge negotiated in different public spheres? Using an interdisciplinary perspective, this anthology examines the dynamics of evidence practices. The authors cover examples from research in the fields of medicine, communication, the economy, science, technology and environmental studies. At the same time, they connect analysis from recent history with current phenomena.

»Das vorliegen‐ de Buch trägt insgesamt der Bedeutung von Evidenzgenerierung und praktiken in der heutigen Wissensgesellschaft auf eindrucksvolle Weise Rechnung. Den Herausgeberinnen ist es am Ende gelungen, mit dem Werk über die Evidenzpraktiken, die es selbst reflektiert, ein Evidenzerleben bei der Leserin zu schaffen.«
