"This Article deals with the question weather, and if so how, security could be produced by technical innovations and communication about these innovations in the Early Modern period. The linkage between fire Security, by fire engines, technical knowledge and communication about this knowledge will be pointed out. With the discourse of the improvement of fire engines in journals of the Enlightenment a trigger for the change in the communication about fire engines can be found. But Further it is discussed how inventions for fire-safety can be evaluated in the transforming scientific society in the Early Modern period." (author's abstract)... view less

"Der Artikel fragt in erster Linie nach dem Konnex von Sicherheit mit technischen Innovationen und der Kommunikation von technischem Wissen in der Frühen Neuzeit. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Produktion von Feuersicherheit durch Feuerspritzen und technischer Kommunikation steht im Focus. Im Diskurs über die Verbesserung von Feuerspritzen in Zeitschriften der Aufklärung kann unter anderem ein Auslöser zu einer entpersonalisierenden Veränderung in kommunikativen Prozessen gefunden werden. Des Weiteren wird diskutiert, wie sich Erfindungen zur Feuersicherheit innerhalb der sich transformierenden Wissenschaftsgesellschaft einordnen könnten." (Autorenreferat)... view less
