UM OLHAR BAKHTINIANO SOBRE OS BLOGS DE CIêNCIAKeywords: Bakhtin , Science blogs , Social interaction , Dialogism , Enunciation Abstract: The present article aims to understand how science communication is configured in science blogs written by researchers. Assuming the bakhtinian presupposition of enunciation as a product of verbal interaction, we analyze how and to whom the scientist-bloggers conform their discourse. We also pay attention to the social context in which the blog enunciations are inserted and to the role played by bloggers in this space. To illustrate our observations, we use as corpus blogs from ScienceBlogs Brazil network. The results show that scientists-bloggers direct their discourse to two types of interlocutors: the specialized and non-specialized in science. Using a fun and informal language, the discourse of blogs builds itself in a dialogic tension with other enunciations of the scientific field, such as scientific reports. The emergence of other voices in the discourse makes the blog a space for social interaction between scientists and non-scientists.
