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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aScience in popular culture 606 $aFolklore 606 $aLegends 606 $aMythology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience in popular culture. 615 0$aFolklore. 615 0$aLegends. 615 0$aMythology. 676 $a303.48/3 700 $aSchrempp$b Gregory Allen$f1950-$0917176 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460159103321 996 $aScience, bread, and circuses$92470595 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02233nam 2200373z- 450 001 9910557321203321 005 20211223 010 $a85-7983-904-1 035 $a(CKB)5090000000006036 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/75141 035 $a(oapen)doab75141 035 $a(EXLCZ)995090000000006036 100 $a20202112d2017 |y 0 101 0 $apor 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aUna mirada a la ciencia de la informacio?n desde los nuevos contextos paradigma?ticos de la posmodernidad 210 $cEditora UNESP$d2017 215 $a1 online resource (290 p.) 311 08$a85-7983-903-3 330 $aAs mudanc?as sempre ve?m acompanhadas de elementos de inovac?a?o, gerados por algo ou algue?m para atender necessidades ou demandas.
