Abstract
The intention of this research is to understand the discursive competence of the miniseries “The Elegant Universe”, a science popularization TV program aired in 2003 by the US broadcaster Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), through the theoretical framework of the economics of linguistic exchanges, by Pierre Bourdieu. From the study, it was verified the characteristics and elements that serve to the audience to recognize the legitimacy of the message issued by the speakers authorized to talk about the subject - the presenter and physicist Brian Greene and the scientists interviewed - and the translational potential of specialized speech into the simple and common language of everyday life. The development of the work began with the reflection about contemporaneity, the production of knowledge and the science popularization; then it discussed discursive competence and linguistic exchanges, as well as the relations between scientific field, territory and communication; finally, we come to the analysis of the three episodes that deal with the development of String Theory, when it was understood the agents habitus dispositions resulting from their practices legitimized by the scientific field that give them the linguistic capital necessary to generate favorable symbolic profit to their speech.
