ABSTRACT
Due to the discussions and research carried out in the context of the project called Ateliê de Textos Acadêmicos - ATA (Academic Texts Workshop - ATW), within which we analyze academic texts produced in different branches of knowledge, concerning their linguistic-discursive aspects, we have been faced with the need to reflect on epistemology and scientific methodology. Therefore, our main aim is to discuss the construction of the concept of science within the Sociodiscursive Interactionism (SDI) perspective, considering the conceptual and methodological framework used by (Bronckart 1999BRONCKART, Jean-Paul. 1999. Atividade de linguagem, textos e discursos: por um interacionismo sociodiscursivo. São Paulo: EDUC., 2006______. 2006. Atividade de linguagem, discurso e desenvolvimento humano. Campinas, SP: Mercado de Letras., 2008______. 2008. O agir nos discursos: das concepções teóricas às concepções dos trabalhadores. Campinas, SP: Mercado das Letras.) to approach and describe language facts, considered as being of a socio-historical-cultural nature. In order to do so, we will refer to studies on scientific know-how, especially the work by (Popper 2007POPPER, Karl. 2007 [1934]. A lógica da pesquisa científica. São Paulo: Cultrix. [1934]) and (Bourdieu, 1983BOURDIEU, Pierre. 1983. Questões de sociologia. Rio de Janeiro: Marco Zero., 2002______. 2002. O poder simbólico. 5. ed. Rio de Janeiro: Bertrand Brasil., 2004______. 2004. Os usos sociais da ciência: por uma sociologia clínica do campo científico. São Paulo: Editora UNESP.). The results indicate that the researcher, in the process of knowledge construction, should be open to the many approaches available and not just follow a dominant, dogmatic and authoritarian methodological standard.
