Resumo(s)
As one of the more visible dimensions of science and society relations and under its
myriad of labels, public communication of science has become, in the past few
decades, a branch of scientific activity, an industry, a career, and a field of academic
enquiry. Countless pages have been devoted to examining what, how, why, and who
is doing communication of science to the public. But the very concept of science is
little problematized in these analyses. In any event, what counts as science that
deserves to be communicated usually excludes the social sciences.
Sociology, in particular, has an intricate relationship with public communication.
By custom, it is fairly accessible outside academia: publication in book form and in
native languages, and open conferences and lectures, report on topics that are
familiar and close to societal concerns. Engagements with the public are also are
also part of the empirical toolkit of sociologists. From the more traditional interviews
and surveys to the more participatory techniques of consultation such as workshops
or action-research, citizens are an indispensable component of doing research in
sociology.
