CONTRIBUTIONS OF SOCIOLOGY TO THE STUDY OF THE SCIENCE PROPAGATION ON THE INTERFACE OF SCIENCE FIELD AND SCHOOL SPACE: AN UNDERSTANDING FROM THE CONCEPT OF BORDER

ABSTRACT:

The research presented in this article aims to discuss the potential of thinking about scientific propagation as a practice originated by the approximation between fields and social spaces. With this aim, it is intended the debate of the sociological concept of border as the place where different social agents can approach and collectively construct creative spaces. This shared activity recognizes the construction of practices and meanings with the purpose of negotiating actions to disseminate that is meaningful to all those who participate in it, ie scientists, journalists, students, teachers and general public. In this context, it is argued, through the scientists analyzed, that the border can be an important instrument to understand how these practices are being implicitly treated and the unveiling of the different implicit objectives that emerge from them.
