Scientific dissemination as science, technique and art. The case of "musicaenelnoreste.mx".

  • José Juan Olvera Gudiño

This article describes the challenges we faced in building a social science outreach website specializing in popular music studies in northeastern Mexico and south Texas. It makes explicit the problems related to the models of social science communication that we have encountered. These challenges include communication and negotiation processes with those who collaborated in the construction of scientific knowledge and now do so in its dissemination stage, to which are added publicists or technicians in social communication. All of them always have similar and/or alternative visions to ours. The complexity of the dissemination work is highlighted and the notion that identifies it as a dispensable complement to the construction of scientific knowledge is combated.
