Tecnociência : uma tríade narrativa

Abstract

The present work approaches technoscience as a category of emerging knowledge in contemporaneity. It consists of a bibliographical research that seeks to deepen the understanding of the concept of technoscience through the gathering of elements distributed in the extensive field of the humanities, in the field of biotechnology and in Brazilian public policies. It focuses on the conditions that have made possible the emergence of this epistemic modality, as well as the possible consequences of its current inseparability of public policies and the market. The main development seen by the thesis is that the production of a social and anthropological design, based on the technoscientific rationality, is in progress, which, however, can only be apprehended from a transversal reading of three narratives that the human being created to say of himself, of the world and of his practices: the anthropological, the epistemic-political, and the axiological. From this, the study concludes that technoscience, while subordinating the confluence between scientific knowledge and technological efficacy to market interests, has become a vector of hominization, an instance of social modeling and horizon in which the values of the contemporary world are constituted and diffused.
