SILVEIRA, Eduardo. Encounters and Fictions: talking to plants. Educ. Real. [online]. 2023, vol.48, e124169. ISSN 2175-6236. https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236124169vs01.
Listening to what the plants say in order to talk to them is the proposal that mobilizes the writing of this article. It starts with a problematization about the utilitarian perspective that commonly characterizes the relationship between humans and plants. This relationship is also reproduced in the teaching of botany, when it is often thought from a technical and hierarchical point of view towards plants and other non-humans. Thus, based mainly on repertoires and notions coming from the arts, philosophy and literature, what is sought is to build possibilities for other encounters with plants. Less hierarchical encounters in which it is possible to hear the almost inaudible voice of the plants and talk to them.
