Abstract

This work is based in the analysis of a set of twenty expositions dedicated to genetic science in France, Belgium and Holland, between 1994 and 2002. Some of these expositions come from centres of scientific and technical culture, from research institutions, educational associations, Ministry of Education of France, etc. The corpus used consists in written archives, photographs and interviews. The former constitutes the nucleus of our analysis in this article. We focus in the public debate surrounding genetic science and the ways how this debate was represented by different actors. We also attend to understand certain socio-discursive process that operates within this debate. We bases our work in three enunciative dimension whose articulation we use to describe the way how expositions set the public debate and are inscribed on it. This index consists on: on the one hand, representations of the public debate and its actors. On the other hand the different public figures that are mobilized in the exposition’s discourse. And lastly, the public’s concrete engagement with the museum diagram (during the visit o in certain expositions).
