Representations of uncertainty and change: Three case studies with experts (2004)
Authors
Abstract
(create) The three case studies we are presenting have not only benefited from historical research, but to some extent owe their existence to it. In our experience, certain aspects of current practice become apparent only in historical perspective; we may study past practices in order to come to an improved understanding of current practices. Hence, in our view, an historical and a scientific perspective need not be rival siblings competing for privileged attention. In this chapter we focus on one particular aspect of practice, namely, experts' representational practices. Experts and, a fortiori, laypeople do not always consciously choose a representation, but rely on one that has been established by previous practice and convention.
