Abstract：
Contemporary scientific and technological endeavours face public and political pressure to adopt open, transparent and democratically accountable practices of public engagement. Prior research has identified different ways that experts \'imagine publics\' - as uninformed, as disengaged, as a risk to science, and as co-producers of knowledge - but there has yet to be a systematic exploration of how these views emerge, interact and evolve. This article introduces a typology of imagined publics to analyse how publics are constructed in the field of forest genomics. We find that deficit views of publics have not been replaced by co-production. Instead, deficit and co-productive approaches to publics co-exist and overlap, informing both how publics are characterized and how public perceptions are studied. We outline an agenda for deepening and expanding research on public perceptions of novel technologies. Specifically, we call for more diverse and complex methodological approaches that account for relational dynamics over time.
摘要：
当代科技工作面临公众和政治压力,透明和民主负责的公众参与做法。先前的研究已经确定了专家“想象公众”的不同方式-作为不知情的，当脱离时，作为科学的风险，作为知识的共同生产者-但还没有系统地探索这些观点是如何出现的，互动和进化。本文介绍了一种想象公众的类型学，以分析在森林基因组学领域如何构建公众。我们发现，公众的赤字观点并没有被联合制作所取代。相反，赤字和共同生产的公共方法共存和重叠，告知公众的特征和公众的看法是如何研究的。我们概述了深化和扩大公众对新技术看法研究的议程。具体来说,我们呼吁更多样化和复杂的方法论方法，以解释随着时间的推移的关系动态。
