metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The author explores the texts of Soviet periodicals for children and sets the task to reveal how
  science is represented in relation to state policy, as well as defining the semiotic resources that
  convey grown-ups’ social practices to children’s audience. Methodologically, the study builds on
  content analysis and discourse analysis of the publications drawn from the magazines “Pioneer”
  and “Kostyor”. It has been found that publications on science occupied an important place in the
  magazines, sections on science were regular, and most of them had exact and natural sciences
  as their subject. Specific features of representations have been discovered, including references
  to experts’ opinions, channeling of agonality, emotions and ideologies. The validity of scientific
  information provided was guaranteed by the expert status of the author or commentator:
  their professionalism and public recognition. The texts contained argumentation tactics that
  were typical of academic communication, and thus, grown-ups’ social practices were transferred
  to children’s magazines. The author claims that the rational sphere of science was discursively
  constructed as a source of emotional experience, specifically — the feeling of wonder. The factual
  component was complemented by the emotional modus and actualized through the lexical
  markers of wonder, evaluative elements and stylistic devices. The journals were used as an
  instrument of dialogue between the state and a younger generation, and the representations of
  scientific social practices contained markers of ideology. The author claims that convergence of
  scientific, media and political discourses is taking place in the process of representation of scientific
  practices. The resulting representations build axiological attitudes of a younger generation,
  maintain ideological guidelines, and determine a scientific and ideological worldview.
