Lo anterior a partir de una conceptualización desde la apropiación social de la ciencia, además de una postura pluralista que invita a considerar las particularidades de las disciplinas científico sociales dentro de los estudios en comunicación pública de la ciencia y la tecnología.

The necessary demarcation between informal education and PSC for research and practice

by María del Carmen Sánchez-Mora

Scientific culture is expected as a result In the different modalities of science education, this is also a goal of public science communication (PSC), investigated in both cases with different theoretical and methodological approaches. Research in PSC focuses on the quality of products but in informal education it seeks to detect informal learning; both activities are also evaluable from their design, organization, mediation, etc. This article defines and delimits the members of this educational/communicative universe in science as a possible contribution to facilitate the evaluation of practice.

The human-technology relationship in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

by José de Jesús Guridi Colorado

Through discourse analysis, the human-technology relationship in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is explored and the construction of a scenario based on apparently rational rules is discovered, where science, magic and mythology seem to be the same thing. The technology is presented as an invasion to the human, who is forced to adapt to understand the technology that invaded him. Finally, when the human learns not to question the invasion and to use technology to protect and improve himself, the new technology (previously an invader) and the human, integrate until they merge.

by Alessandra Bizerra, Bianca Hipólito de Oliveira, Rafael Vitame Kauano, Bruno Rafael Santos de Cerqueira, Iara Grotz Moreira de Vasconcellos, Marcelo Kei Sato, Ana Luiza Cerqueira das Neves and Carolina Ansaldi

Faced with the environmental crisis, zoos and aquariums assume themselves as central to the conservation of biodiversity. On the other hand, fierce criticism is directed towards these institutions, especially those coming from movements supporting animal welfare. Thus, an attempt is made to investigate the meanings related to the conservation of biodiversity expressed by these institutions in their communication resources. A clipping of a broader research is presented, with the analysis of the discourse displayed on plaques of four institutions, two Brazilian and two international.
It is possible to observe a variety of meanings about biodiversity conservation, encompassing its ontological, epistemological and axiological dimensions.

Discourse on Covid-19 vaccines in Brazil: an analysis in a context of epistemic crisis in the journalistic and scientific fields

by Claudine Freiberger Friedrich

In this research, we analyze the meaning of science discourse in the podcast Café da Manhã during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, in a context of epistemic crisis in the journalistic and scientific fields. By applying French Discourse Analysis in episodes that dealt with vaccines, we identified three main discourse units: the government was negligent and negligent; vaccination is governed by the market economy; the benefits of vaccines outweigh their risks. From these nuclei of meaning, we observe the influence of the sociopolitical climate permeated by misinformation and denial in the contruction of journalistic discourse about the techno-scientific discoveries during the pandemic.
