ABSTRACT Self-visualizations and portraits of scholars play a crucial role for the identity and understanding of scientific disciplines. According to sociological thoughts on visualization, reproduction and modern governance, the new media of photography policed and controlled specific ways of self-imaging, defining and behaving as a scientist. In addition, photography can also be understood as a powerful tool for scholarly self-profiling, image cultivation and the promotion of science to the public. An impressive example of the visual representation of scholarship is a richly decorated photo album dedicated to the geologist Eduard Suess (1831–1914) on the occasion of his 70th birthday and retirement as a professor from the University of Vienna in 1901. As a collection of 332 photos of his students, colleagues and other earth scientists, the album served as a personal gift to Suess, but also as a visualization of how scholarly collaboration, hierarchy and the interdependence between students and academic teachers were practiced. Linking Suess’ photo album to theoretical concepts on scientific self-depiction and media history, the paper examines how rhetorics of display may be invoked and challenged in the context of professionalization, discipline formation and science popularization, and suggests renewed analytical attention to the role of portrait imagery in the history of science.

“看起来像一位（地球）科学家”：以维也纳地质学家爱德华·苏斯 (EDUARD SUESS) 的相册为例进行科学普及和专业化（1901 年）

摘要 学者的自我形象化和画像对于科学学科的认同和理解起着至关重要的作用。根据关于可视化、复制和现代治理的社会学思想，摄影的新媒体监督和控制了作为科学家的自我形象、定义和行为的特定方式。此外，摄影也可以理解为学术自我介绍、形象培养和向公众宣传科学的有力工具。学术表现的一个令人印象深刻的例子是一本装饰华丽的相册，专门献给地质学家爱德华·苏斯（Eduard Suess，1831-1914 年）在他 70 岁生日和 1901 年从维也纳大学教授退休之际。作为收藏332张他学生的照片，同事和其他地球科学家，这张专辑既是给 Suess 的个人礼物，也是如何实践学术合作、等级制度以及学生和学术教师之间相互依存关系的可视化。将 Suess 的相册与科学自我描述和媒体历史的理论概念联系起来，本文探讨了在专业化、学科形成和科学普及的背景下如何调用和挑战展示修辞，并建议重新分析关注科学史上的肖像图像。
