Contradictions in the divulgation of scientific and cultural knowledge

Abstract

Here we have a reflection on the work that has been developed for some years by one of the research groups inscribed in the "Text and Discourse" research line at PPGCL, Unisul. This work has taken form in the many scientific publications from all group members and two productions in the field of knowledge divulgation: the journal "Ciência em Curso" (www.cienciaemcurso.unisul.br) and the project “Feito a Mão” (www.feitoamao.unisul.br), both digital productions. Here we discuss the contradictions in the production of knowledge and its forms of broadcasingt, in accordance with previously developed analyses. These analyses phrase the questions regarding the mediation of scientific journalism and science divulgation; the issues of scientific knowledge and cultural knowledge; the question of science and its relationship with Science & Technology, and the question of contemporary discourse and the discourse of memory.
