Résumé
My thesis is based on premise that politicians, scientists and public are contemplating (speaking / thinking) about the world at nanoscale level through metaphors and analogies, and together with these (in addition to other linguistic means) negotiate its development. The analogies and metaphors that capture events and phenomena with which we have no direct experience, become constituent part of the nanoworld, but also part of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Also the nature of negotiations and discussions about possible risks and benefits of nanotechnologies tend to be aligned with transferential character of experience. Here, the presence of various frames, narratives, and emplotments denotes the socio-political dimension of nanotechnology and suggests to deal methodologically with discourse. The study of metaphors will aim not only to provide new, improved understanding the similarities and differences in the way nanotechnologies are conceptualised in media, but also to focus at scientific text and practice, examining analogical and metaphorical reasoning in science.
