Abstract

The question that guides this research is the formation of a social subject in its relation to science in a particular place of production - the cyberspace, specifically Twitter. Thus, we will take Twitter as an area of scientific and cultural, to produce reflections on the disclosure on Twitter and try to understand how the science is in society from its relationship with technology. Thus, our goal is to investigate the discursive boundaries between science journalism and society in general, placing emphasis on scientific and cultural, considering new forms of journalistic practice of texting and the way the effect of externality of science works in these spaces.
