Discursive changes about science in Brazil and Uruguay in the 20th century: from communication between experts to the beginnings of scientific popularization
Abstract
This paper addresses the changes in the discourse on agricultural science in the Platina region during the 20th century. The quarterly Brazilian publications of the Associação Brasileira de Criadores Ovinos, published since 1942, and the Uruguayan, monthly and commercial publication La Propaganda Rural, published since 1901, are analysed. The discursivity of the two publications is taken as a result of the ideological formation “will to know”. The concepts “scientific communication”, “scientific dissemination” and “scientific journalism” are used as the basis for the analysis of discursive formations. It was found that initially the discursive practice was conditioned to the scientific communication between experts and later to scientific journalism, when the outset of scientific popularization are noticed.
