Divulgação científica em La Propaganda Rural: antecedentes da formação prescritiva do discurso no Uruguai disciplinado.

This article analyses historic precedents on science divulgation through an approach on the discourse of La Propaganda Rural, Uruguayan transnational circulation magazine. The paper aims at understanding the senses linked to discipline in scientific divulgation. The analysis of utterances published in the 1909 editions gives evidence of the prescriptive formation, recognised by the regularity of two interdependent views: the usefulness of scientific and technological knowledge and the regulated procedural applicability.
