Equivocation in the circulation of scientific knowledge

Abstract

Within the relationship between the production of knowledge deemed scientific and the disclosure thereof, I intend to discuss equivocation, defined by Michel Pêcheux as the juxtaposition of senses from different subject positions. As analysis material I take the covers of Revista Pesquisa FAPESP, a public science magazine published by the São Paulo Research Foundation. Within the theoretical framework of the materialistic Discourse Analysis, which lies in the relationship between linguistics, historical materialism, and psychoanalysis, I explore the verbal and image composition while attempting to understand how information permeates science.
