          Abstract

          O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um conjunto de representações persistente na grande imprensa brasileira, apontando sua relação com um determinado modelo de compreensão da ciência. O tema escolhido é o da genética, em especial nas suas correlações com a saúde. O estudo empírico foi feito por meio do acompanhamento sistemático do noticiário de um jornal e dois periódicos relevantes no contexto nacional, sendo o material selecionado submetido à análise de conteúdo. Encontramos três núcleos de significação no material analisado, que denominamos "determinismo", "simplificação exagerada" e "ganhos futuros". A apresentação do discurso derivado da ciência nos veículos estudados articula-se com narrativas mais amplas com implicações políticas, reforçando a autoridade dos especialistas biológicos.

          Translated abstract

          The purpose of this article is to present a set of persisting representations in the Brazilian press, pointing out its relation to a particular model of understanding science. The theme is that of genetics, especially in their correlations with health. The empirical study was done through the systematic monitoring of a newspaper and two relevant magazines in the national context, with the selected material being subjected to content analysis. We found three clusters of meaning in the material analyzed, which we called "determinism," "oversimplification" and "future gains". The presentation of a discourse derived from science in the studied venues is linked to narratives with broader political implications, reinforcing the authority of biological experts.
