Abstract

Photography plays an important role in science communication. This study investigates the photographic portraits of scientists in the news media in China from 1949 to 2022. The data consist of 1,071 photographs published in People's Daily, the most influential newspaper in China. The photographs are analysed according to a framework based on previous studies on the visual representation of scientists. Analysis shows an overall image of scientists that demonstrates distinctive 'Chinese' features, such as the prominence of group photos and governmental honours. Diachronically, the visual image of scientists evolved from the early farmer scientists acclaimed in midst of political struggle to social elites and stars celebrated as China's hope for indigenous innovation. The study enriches our understanding of the visual representation of scientists in China, and sheds light on the influence of culture, politics and social positioning of science and technology on the image of scientists created by the media.

科学家新闻照片:中国科学家摄影肖像(1949-2022 年)。
摄影在科学传播中发挥着重要作用。本研究调查了 1949 年至 2022 年期间中国新闻媒体上的科学家肖像摄影作品。数据包括在中国最具影响力的报纸《人民日报》上发表的 1,071 张照片。我们根据以往科学家视觉形象研究的框架对这些照片进行了分析。分析表明,科学家的整体形象表现出鲜明的 "中国 "特征,如突出的合影和政府荣誉。从时间上看,科学家的视觉形象从早期在政治斗争中备受赞誉的农民科学家演变为被誉为中国自主创新希望的社会精英和明星。这项研究丰富了我们对中国科学家视觉形象的理解,并揭示了文化、政治和科技社会定位对媒体塑造科学家形象的影响。
