Resumo: In Brazilian cultural manifestations, science is not usually pictured prominently. Still, one can find references to it in some of the most popular forms of communication. Cordel literature is one of them. In this article, we try to understand how the scientific world is inserted and represented in this literary genre. We did a discourse analysis based on a corpus of 50 Cordel booklets on topics related to science. We note that the booklets present, as a whole, an ambivalent image of science, extolling the scientific achievements and their authors in some cases, whereas, in others, showing a critical view of technological development. Our study suggests that the mixing of science and Cordel literature has the potential to bring together scientific and popular cultures. This could also promote a critical thinking in the public about the relationship between science and society. Therefore, Cordel literature may be an interesting tool for education and popularization of science.

Ainda assim, é possível encontrar referências a ela nas formas mais populares de comunicação, a exemplo da literatura de cordel. Neste artigo, a partir de um corpus de 50 cordéis sobre temas relacionados à ciência, buscamos compreender, por meio de uma análise discursiva, como o universo científico está inserido e é retratado nesse gênero literário. Observamos que os cordéis apresentam, em seu conjunto, uma imagem ambivalente da ciência, ora exaltando os feitos científicos e seus autores, ora oferecendo um olhar crítico sobre o desenvolvimento tecnológico. Nosso estudo sugere que a convergência da ciência e da literatura de cordel tem potencial para aproximar a cultura científica da cultura popular, além de fomentar um pensamento crítico sobre as relações entre ciência e sociedade, sendo, portanto, uma ferramenta interessante de educação e popularização da ciência.  Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2016-09-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/bakhtiniana/article/view/24278Bakhtiniana.
