MARZORATI, Zulema. Filmic Representations of Science: César Milstein and Un fueguito. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2016, n.43, pp.115-128. ISSN 1850-275X.

Science is one of the nodal forces behind the advancement and growth of a country. Given its importance, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the socio-political context and the development of scientific activity through the images of Un fueguito. The story of César Milstein (Argentina, 2009) directed by Ana Fraile. The film constructs the image of a scientist who worked in state institutions, without relating to private laboratories and who always supported the universal appropriation of knowledge remaining within the Mertonian ethos. When considering what Milstein meant as a loss for the country in the past, the film participates indirectly in the discourse of Cristina Kirchner´s government policy that has encouraged the return of scientists and supported continuity in science and research.
