The socialization of the scientific knowledge: a study in a discursive perspective
Abstract
The goal of this work is the study of the socialization of the scientific knowledge produced by the scientific community that wishes to communicate it to “extended community”. We assume the socialization of knowledge as a condition of production of meanings, in a discursive perspective, which will allow us, more than the scientific information that wishes to communicate, to think about the actions involved in this (in)formation processes and the mediations and necessary means to the process in socialization perspective considered here, i.e., that information generated in the scientific community if transformed into personal knowledge of “social individuals” for the construction of necessary meanings to the citizenship formation. The Discourse Analyzes, in the French perspective, according to Pêcheux and Orlandi, functioned as a reference which allows us to face the problem and also characterize it in its theoretical and methodological approach.
