Ciência, futuro e afeto: formas de legitimar o discurso

Abstract

This work on science communication, of a purely theoretical and reflexive nature, proposes to analyze the ways in which “the futures” become intelligible, practicable and governable today and how this allows disinformation strategies. From the historical rescue of notions that serve to make the “future” intelligible, it is argued that the relationship between science, communication and the market favored the decline of the scientist as an explanatory authority on the phenomena of the world, giving priority to competition. of ideas in which science is just one of the explanatory models. It is also argued that affective regimes have penetrated science in recent years and that this same logic has supported disinformation schemes and models. The indeterminacy of the future, thought of as a threat, serves both science and the ways to discredit it.
