The tensions between competing paradigms, different bodies of knowledge and the relative hierarchies between them are a crucial element of the historical and contemporary dynamics of scientific knowledge production. The negotiation of evidence is at the heart of this process. Starting from the premise that evidence constitutes a central, but also essentially contested concept in contemporary knowledge-based societies, this volume focuses on how evidence is generated and applied in practice-in other words, on "evidence in action." The contributions analyze and compare different evidence practices within the field of science and technology, how they interlink with different forms of power, their interaction with and impact on the legal and political domain, and their relationship to other, more heterodox forms of evidence that challenge traditional notions of evidence. In doing so, this volume provides much-needed context and historical background to contemporary debates on the so-called "post-truth" society. Evidence in Action is the perfect resource for all those interested in the relationship between science, technology, and the role of knowledge in society.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aGeneral and world history2bicssc 7aHistoriography2bicssc 7aHistory2bicssc  alegal domain, knowledge, science, political domain1 aEhlers, Sarah4oth1 aEsselborn, Stefan4edt1 aEsselborn, Stefan4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/10148170zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c93126d93126
