Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The technologies applied in our digital society, especially on social media, have changed multiple factors of political communication and citizen participation. The construction of political reality is expressed, in addition to video politics, in terms such as cyber politics, which incorporates phenomena such as the acquisition of accidental information or consumption on second screens. This has special consequences both for electoral campaigns and for the strategies of political parties. In addition, citizens have more opportunities to participate and to mobilize, and this fact influences the perception of political events and democracy. Several investigations have shown that the consumption of political information via social media causes polarization and radicalization in audiences, especially in imperfect democracies.

Revista de Estudios Brasileños (REB)

DOSIER “ESTUDIOS DE CIENCIA, TECNOLOGÍA Y SOCIEDAD EN BRASIL: INVESTIGACIONES Y ABORDAJES”

El propósito de este dossier es estimular el debate en torno a las nuevas percepciones y concepciones de los Estudios de Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (CTS) en Brasil que compartan el objetivo de discutir la historia y la producción de las ciencias y las tecnologías nacionales. Los trabajos que consideran las afirmaciones y posturas de las ciencias, vinculados a los procesos sociales, comprendidos como acciones colectivas, se han multiplicado en el país. La continua reconfiguración de entendimientos procedentes de una epistemología y de una sociología tradicionales, iniciada por autores europeos y norteamericanos entre las décadas de 1960 y 1970, implicaron el cuestionamiento de las certidumbres derivadas del realismo, del racionalismo y del individualismo de la ciencia moderna occidental. Esos cuestionamientos tienen cabida en el escenario brasileño en la medida en que permiten ver las ciencias y tecnologías en sus indeterminaciones, matices y diferencias, realizándose en locus específicos, fuera de los espacios hegemónicos del poder económico mundial, o incluso contribuyendo a la creación de autoridad local y sacando provecho de ella.
