Abstract

The research proposes to study a journalistic news about genetically modified (GM) organisms. The analyze of an specific discursive clipping from the daily Zero Hora from Porto Alegre (RS), Brazil, points out a problematics managed by the popularization of science, which proposes the creation of an interdiscourse defined by the scientists as a “simplification” operation of the scientific and technological discoursivity, which when put together built a position that tends to be favourable to the adoption of GM Organisms in the switch studied.
