Abstract

This research addresses the use of new technologies in developing relations with Science. We seeks to respond to the following question: how can ICT, specifically the Interactive Digital TV (iDTV), contribute to the dissemination of information and approximation with Science in a more horizontal and inclusive way? We assume that an iDTV production environment as TV Unesp supports the application of bottom-up collaborative work methodologies that promote the inclusion of lay interacting subjects. We argue that TV Unesp is a unique means to increase the relationship with Science because of the possibilities of its content production viewing a bottomup production. In this sense, our overall aim is to investigate iDTV Unesp as a privileged means to promote society's access to scientific knowledge and its counterpart in its construction. As specific objectives, we seek to identify, from the Post-Custodial perspective and the current concept of Creative Economy, directions for knowledge construction and their relationship with society; to address the complexity of networked knowledge and their intersemiotic cognitive processes in the context of ICT to work with Science content; to present bottom-up collaborative work methodology with scientific vocabulary and points of possible convergence to TV Unesp environment; to present, in the context of digital TV in Brazil, infrastructure and interactive content production methodology of TV Unesp, with a focus on communication of science; and to point out a collaborative and bottom-up direction for TV Unesp, toward the popularization of Science in Brazil. To accomplish these goals, we use qualitative research methodology of descriptive and exploratory nature involving literature review, documentary research and participant observation. As results of our research, we point directions for the implementation of bottom-up methodology of the project Jugando a definir la ciencia to produce interactive scientific content of TV Unesp, reflecting proposal for a transdisciplinary approach with Science.
