Early History of a Francophone Bi-Science “Information and Communication Sciences” and Its Society in France
Downloads
Abstract
As new academic disciplines, information and communication sciences, like any new discipline, have faced difficulties integrating into the broader scientific community. In France, they have ultimately settled into the category of interdisciplinary fields. Their binary structure—information science and communication science—has proven to be somewhat unequal. The scientific community and the journal that represent them also reflect this perception.Introduction audio
