Resumen
Descripción
Activists, social organizations and members of citizen collectives in Mexico
and Latin America have assumed not only the fight for water and territory,
but also the difficult task of interacting with experts in different scientific
fields, and the challenge of placing their causes in the public space. They
take the role of cultural mediators between affected people, scientists and
politicians within hybrid transdisciplinary working groups. Within the
framework of these groups’ actions, a new current of communication of
science has emerged, one that shifts its interest from encouraging
involvement with scientific knowledge for its own sake, to untangling,
understanding and communicating socio-environmental issues for the
explicit purpose of contributing to social transformation.
