The general approach is inspired by the “cultural cartography” method proposed by Gyerin to explore the dyamics that shapes and re-shapes the border’s of different fields of knowledges and practices, at the pace of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, of epistemical and non-epistemical considerations. The underlying premise is that any reflection on the issue cannot leave aside the particular conditions that affects that development; rather just the opposite, it must be deeply contextually-anchored. On this basis, the purpose is to describe and interpret the booms-and-busts of the local Science Communication in the contexts of its relations with different areas and their respective agents: scientific institutions, public policies for research and development, the mass-media and the cultural industry, among others. After a brief reference to certain relevant advances accomplished during the twentieth century, the main emphasis is put in the current consolidation phase, started at the turn of the 2000s, specially in the profound changes that have taken place since then.</p> ER -
