Popularização da ciência, análise de gêneros, gêneros jornalísticos nota, notícia e reportagem.Abstract
There are two perspectives concerning science popularization (SP): a canonic one and a contemporary one. The objective of the present work is to investigate how SP is conceived within the field of Informatics in the journalistic media. For purposes of analysis, 14 SP texts published in Journal Zero Hora were collected from January to March 2009. The textual analysis is based on a quali-quantitative methodology and involves the identification and the interpretation of recursive elements used in the texts, based on the schematic representation the the rhetorical organization of SP texts, proposed by Motta-Roth and Lovato (2009) and on the compositional structure of news note by Figueiredo (2003). The analysis results indicate that Journal Zero Hora popularizes scientific findings through three genres: note, news and news report. Besides these results, in SP notes, three rhetorical moves were identified: identification of the SP note, summary of the SP note and complementary information.
