Scientific journals as narrative objects of the sciences

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Using a referential framework that integrates the hermeneutic philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricœur, the critical theory of Herbert Marcuse and Jürgen Habermas, and the traditions of the history of the book and reading with the works of Roger Chartier and Martyn Lyons, among others, this essay aims to understand scientific journals as narrative objects of the sciences. These journals bring together communities that share common ways of interpreting the world and shape agreed-upon forms of narrating that common understanding. From this perspective, we propose to address the theoretical foundations of the category conversations of the sciences in the narrative dimension, disaggregated into four dimensions of analysis, that interlace the rationality present in the conversations that occur in the narrative dimension with the interests of their social environment.
