After the "two cultures" - Toward a "(multi)cultural" practice of science communication

In his famous lecture "The Two Cultures" (1959), C. R Snow identified an unbridgeable gap between two hostile branches of knowledge: the (natural) sciences and the humanities. The two-cultures opposition has long dissolved since 1959. In the twenty-first century, the postmodern condition of science has given rise to the "(multi)cultural paradigm" of science communication-a paradigm beyond the two cultures and the narrativation of knowledge, acknowledging not only the increasing cultural diversity in populations throughout the world but also the many cultures or disciplines involved in the construction and communication of science.
