Science, scientists and literature : the role of literature in promoting science and technology

Abstract

Science and technology in terms of innovative ideas and technological advances has been reflected by numerous well-known and representative literary works. This was first witnessed at the beginning of the nineteenth century, which marked the most notorious social impact of scientific activity. Here, we show how the debate between science and humanities is unfruitful, because the mutual influence of these two ways of thinking shows that they are equally human and have constantly influenced each other, and even more so today. In this article we discuss countless examples of novels and stories influenced by new scientific ideas, and also some cases where literary creativity has provided words for highly original scientific vocabulary. La presencia de la ciencia y la tecnología a través de sus ideas innovadoras y avances tecnológicos se ha visto reflejada en numerosas obras bien conocidas y representativas de la literatura universal. Este hecho se da, sobre todo, a partir del siglo XIX, cuando empieza el impacto social más notorio de la actividad científica en la sociedad. Con este artículo queremos mostrar que el debate entre las ciencias y las humanidades es estéril, ya que la influencia mutua de estas dos formas de pensamiento muestra que son igualmente humanas y se han influido constantemente, más aún cuanto más nos acercamos a la actualidad. En el artículo se mencionan innumerables ejemplos de novelas y narraciones influidas por nuevas ideas de la ciencia y también algún caso en que la creatividad literaria ha suministrado palabras para el vocabulario científico más original. Palabras clave: ciencia y literatura, divulgación de la ciencia, ciencia-tecnología-sociedad (CTS). La presència de la ciència i la tecnologia a través de les seues idees innovadores i avenços tecnològics s¿ha vist refl ectida en nombroses obres ben conegudes i representatives de la literatura universal.Aquest fet es dóna, sobretot, a partir del segle XIX, quan comença l'impacte social més notori de l'activitat científica en la societat. Amb aquest article volem mostrar com el debat entre les ciències i les humanitats és estèril, ja que la influència mútua d'aquestes dues formes de pensament mostra que són igualment humanes i s'han influït constantment, més encara com més ens acostem a l'actualitat. En l'article s'esmenten innombrables exemples de novel·les i narracions influïdes per noves idees de la ciència i també algun cas en què la creativitat literària ha subministrat paraules per al vocabulari científic més original. Paraules clau: ciència i literatura, divulgació de la ciència, ciència-tecnologia-societat (CTS).
