Abstract

In this article the emerging trajectory of scientific research is shown, as well as its formalization known as public understanding of science, contextualizing its developement and abiding debates on the crisis of science legitimation, on emergig environmental consciousness in the last sixties, and on cultural transformations of late modernity. The demands of the general audience for having a voice in techno-scientific policies, and the role that public understanding should have in this public policies are discussed. Afterwards we introduce a public understanding of science tipology, the formal object of this field is specified, and some of the most important results obtained are given. Finally, there is a defence for a change in the research programme, consisting of expanding focuses of elements and problems of tradition from scientific literacy to the study scientific and technological culture in specific temporospatial contexts.
