metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article discusses a series of publications by B. F. Lomov from the 1960s aimed at promoting
  engineering psychology, with the analysis based on discourse analysis and political sociology
  of science and using articles grouped and examined in terms of print to appeal to different
  audiences: party elite, mid-level administrators, academia, and psychologists. The emphasis
  is on practices used to associate engineering psychology with the interests of relevant groups.
  The rise of the cybernetics movement, which aimed to consolidate scientific disciplines and to
  expand the political influence of science, is considered as a general context for the application
  of Lomov’s discursive practices. In this situation, engineering psychology had the advantage
  of being the branch of psychological research that was closest to the approaches of cybernetics
  and had the best growth opportunities in the context of the expanding influence of the latter.
  This trend met with natural resistance from groups that initially found themselves disconnected
  from cybernetics. These included groups in the humanities involved in political campaigns
  in science of the 1940s–1950s, including the anti-cybernetic campaign, as well as part
  of the bureaucracy that dealt with economic planning, a task that could be most affected by
  the rise of computer technology. Lomov built his discursive strategy in such a way as to anticipate
  possible critical attacks. The practices he worked out in publications under examination
  largely predetermined the practices that he used to promote psychology, acting as director of
  the Institute of Psychology in the next two decades, and thus had a noticeable impact on the
  development of Soviet psychology as a whole.
