Abstract

This paper considers how technologies of representation are used by writers about acid rain research to re-present that research to non-scientists. The processes by which such technologies suppress what they purport to represent and replace it with novel and more docile elements which are often visual is described. Visual technologies for combining and further simplifying these elements are considered. Finally, the analogy between political and visual representation is drawn out, though the specificity of visual technologies is emphasised.
