Popular Science Monthly was an american science journal created in 1872. Its main objective was to strengthen contact between the research of major scientiststhat took place in the country and the lay public, facilitatingaccess to new knowledge for those who did not have direct contact with the science. With this doctoral thesis, I intend to carry out a mapping of three different moments of the journal, comparing these moments with each other to try to understand and establish what was the profile of scientific dissemination in journals in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and which main changes that have been made to the magazine over the years.For this purpose, this study, which is centered in the field of what came to be called Public History, took as tools of analisys the concepts of simbolic power and willfof truth, based, above all, around the though ofPierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault.
