This paper analyzes the discourse of SBPC (Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência/Brazilian Society for the Advancement of Science) in an approach that explores possible links between the theory of the Bakhtin Circle and contemporary rhetoric. This paper postulates that both theoretical proposals have in common the recognition of the dialogic nature of discourse. In the analysis, we focus on the first editorial of Ciência Hoje magazine, published in July/August 1982, in order to show, among other things, the way by which the dialogism in the magazine discourse manifests itself and how it is articulated with rhetorical discursive procedures.
