Science and Society: From a History of the “Emotional Images of DNA” to a Set of Multidisciplinary Actions for Disseminating Good Social Values in Europe

Objetivo

Joining Life Long Learning, Sociology of Science, contemporary Genetics, and the recommendations of the Science and Society European Action Plan published by the EU in 2002, this proposed project revolves around society’s image of DNA. Society has many ideas regarding the genetic code: DNA as guarantor of social positions; DNA as a mold from which cloning is possible; DNA as repository of human qualities, etc. Comparing those ideas with the recent advancements in the life sciences we find sometimes a gap between science and society’s convictions that can hinder the scientific progress and intercultural integration of Europe. The theoretical objectives of the proposal aim to outline an history of DNA ideas present in society through an analysis of cultural elements (scientific knowledge, emotions, evocations, etc.) and of channels (theater, literature, divulgation, etc.) that contribute to their formation and diffusion. The practical actions give rise to a permanent interdisciplinary workshop, aimed at creating “cultural objects” that use narrative languages to spread a realistic and positive idea of the relationship DNA/CULTURE. This experience will allow the applicant to advance in his career becoming the coordinator of the workshop and earn the professorship on themes discussed in this proposal at the Università di Catania (Italy).
