STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE: On Science and literature INTRODUCTION

These pages constitute a presentation of Signa's monograph on science and literature. On the one hand, this introduction aims to offer an outline of the division of knowledge, which was the result of the need to chart cultural identities since the apparition of modern science. On the other, it shows several modes of hybridism and cross-fertilization between the scientific-technological and the literary, from which we can approach texts of different genres. Lastly, the articles composing this monograph are presented and contextualized.
