Schrempp considers specific examples of texts in which science writers employ folkloric tropes--myths, legends, proverbs, or a variety of gestures from religious tradition--to lend authority or credibility to their message. In each essay he explores an instance of science popularization rooted in the quotidian round: variations of folkloric formulae in monumental measurements, invocations of science-heroes like saints or other inspirational figures, the battle of mythos and logo in parenting and academe; how the meme has become embroiled in quasi-religious treatments of the problem of evil, and a range of other tropes of folklore drafted into the service of exposition of scientific topics. Science, Bread, and Circuses places the relationship of science and folklore is at the very center of folkloristic inquiry in an attempt to rephrase and thus domesticate scientific findings and claims in folklorically-imbued popular forms"--Provided by publisher.Science in popular cultureFolkloreLegendsMythologyElectronic books.Science in popular culture.Folklore.Legends.Mythology.303.48/3Schrempp Gregory Allen1950-917176MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460159103321Science, bread, and circuses2470595UNINA02365nam 2200529z- 450 991055768820332120231214132854.0(CKB)5400000000044650(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/73595(EXLCZ)99540000000004465020202111d2020 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNeuromodulation in Basic, Translational and Clinical Research in PsychiatryFrontiers Media SA20201 electronic resource (191 p.)2-88963-441-8 This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic.
