A divulgação científica radiofônica em tempos de Internet: um estudo das adaptações do Rádio com Ciência ao ambiente da web

Abstract

This dissertation presents reflections on the relationship between radio and science. About the radio, it evaluates the processes of autopoiesis (Maturana and Varela, 1972) and radiomorphosis (Prata, 2009) in the different adaptations of this communication medium to its environment, according to the historical moment and technological advents. Concerning to the scientific communication applied to the radio, it proposes the use of radio language and consolidated radio genres, besides to the emerging on the Internet, as the electronic address suggested by Prata (2009) in his study about web radio. The purpose of the research was to verify how the transformations in radio phonic scientific communication on the Internet occurred. To do so, it was chosen the Radio as Science (Radiophonic project of scientific communication that offers radio phonic productions on the Internet in podcast format) as the corpus of analysis, with content analysis as the method of approach. It was analyzed eight radio phonic productions from Radio as Science, which demonstrated the technological adaptations to which the project passed by, since the production processes and availability of contents to the use of radio language and radio genres, including its adaptations to the Internet, both applied to the scientific communication. It was also necessary to seek theoretical subsidies to the understanding of scientific communication and of its specificities applied to the radio. As a result, it was identified that radio scientific communication, considering the Internet era, gets the dynamics of web radio and its new facets as text and imaging elements, increasing the approach to the Internet listener and generating new perspectives to the scientific communication in the interactive multimedia era.
