QUEVEDO, Josemari Poerschke de  and  INVERNIZZI, Noela. Rhetorical Priorities of Brazilian Nanotechnology Policy. Analysis on Innovation, Regulation, and Risks. Nómadas [online]. 2021, n.55, pp.29-42.  Epub Aug 15, 2022. ISSN 0121-7550.  https://doi.org/10.30578/nomadas.n55a2.

This article analyzes the rhetoric of Brazilian nanotechnology public policy from the perspective of its three fundamental descriptors: innovation, regulation, and risks. The authors examined official policy documents through the discursive approach of public policies and used literature review, content analysis, and semi-structured interviews as methodology. In conclusion, they found that innovation was the constant rhetorical priority in policy objectives andjustifications, while regulation appeared as a legitimator of innovation. The risk factor was an avoided topic in policy rhetoric.

Keywords : Rhetoric; Nanotechnology; Public Policy; Innovation; Regulation; Brazil.
