The architectonic of the scientific dissemination on Gloria's Popular Conferences (19th century)

Abstract

The mains of this research is to analyse the architectonic of the nineteenth century scientific dissemination. To foundate the work theoretically, it's searched the reflections from Bakhtin's Circle dialogic theory of language, since, for this Circle, the enunciate is faced as a verbal interaction product, determined both by the concrete material situation both by a wider context that constitutes a set of life conditions of a linguistics community. This way, taking spheres concepts, discourse genre, dialogical relations, enunciate, subject, form, material and content, all of them interessed by the ethical and responsive act of the science communicator subject in the human activity, the axiological and dialogical interdiscoursive and interative relations constructed on the tension space among these enunciates will be analyzed. This research intents to show, based on the bakhtinian theory presuppositions, how the social horizon influentiates the discourse production and noticing the way in which the scientific, aesthetic, political, ethical, social values, besides the time-space relations and the ones of content-sense, are reflected and refracted in the scientific dissemination discourse of the period, since it's in the dialogical conjecture that the subject acts through an ethical and axiological way in the interational process within a historical social reality. The scientific dissemination architectonic analysis will be about the materialization on the concrete enunciates of the Gloria's Popular Conferences, a scientific dissemination activity, that took place in Rio de Janeiro on the second half of nineteenth century, regarded as one of the most representative activities in the beginning of Brazil's history of science, which aim was disseminating the scientific knowledge between the literate part of Rio de Janeiro, since it was believed that, in order to the country reach a civilized status, taking the European countries as a reference, it was need the knowledge of sciences. Anchored on Metalinguistics, this work doesn't intend to analyses the concrete enunciate exclusively by the linguistics optics, with a analysis of the purely language phenomena; before, it's on stake the perception of these enunciates relations with the sociocultural and semantics-axiologics in which they are produced.
