Desafios e Enfrentamentos da Comunicação, Divulgação Científica, Saúde e Meio Ambiente em Cenário de Grandes Crises

Abstract

The book is made up of 14 articles by researchers from different universities and scientific institutions across the country who are members of the "Communication, Science Communication, Health and the Environment" Research Group of the Brazilian Society for Interdisciplinary Studies in Communication (Intercom). The texts highlight the different media representations of health, the environment and the sciences in contemporary times, in the midst of health, environmental and institutional crises. Delineated in three thematic scopes, the book brings together research on the role of communication during and after the covid-19 pandemic, problematizes the tensions surrounding scientific dissemination and the declared discrediting of institutions, the media and democracy; questions the place of social networks in the production of knowledge, debates journalistic specializations and the scenario of disinformation and denialism.
