On the other hand, public engagement can lead to a questioning of science itself as a social institution with public communication and engagement continuing to play a role in how science itself is able to control its symbolic power. This article examines recent trends towards public engagement in Science and Technology (S&T), limitations of such approaches and their potential for strengthening democracy and citizenship where science and technology is concerned. 2019 artículo científico 1980-5276 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=504459802012 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5044/504459802012/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5044/504459802012/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5044/504459802012/504459802012.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5044/504459802012/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5044 Interin application/pdf Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná Interin (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.24
