Abstract
Description
La irrupción de la pandemia de Covid-19 en el
escenario mundial generó incógnitas, marchas y
contramarchas, tanto en el plano científico como
en el comunicacional. El tradicional modelo de
divulgación científica, basado en la transmisión
de resultados comprobados, se volvió en algunos
casos insuficiente para dar cuenta de los procesos comunicacionales requeridos por esos meses.
El nuevo coronavirus presentó características
únicas, para cuyo tratamiento y cura no existía
medicación o vacunas, y la comunicación de
las investigaciones visibilizó los avances junto
a sus controversias y debates. El trabajo plantea
las reflexiones generadas a partir de la necesidad
de comunicar ciencias desde una perspectiva
dialógica con la sociedad y desde la universidad
pública en un contexto de incertidumbre.
The irruption of the Covid-19 pandemic on the world stage generated unknowns, marches and counter marches both in the scientific and communicational fields. The traditional model of scientific dissemination, based on the transmission of proven results, in some cases became insufficient to account for the communication processes required during those months. The new coronavirus presented unique characteristics for whose treatment and cure there were no medications or vaccines, and the communication of the investigations made visible the progress along with its controversies and debates. The work raises the reflections generated from the need to communicate sciences from a dialogic perspective with society and from the public university in a context of uncertainty.
