Abstract

CARVALHO, Fabiana Aparecida de. A biologia em obras infantis de Monteiro Lobato: modulações literárias, científicas e culturais. Ciência educ. [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.03, pp.467-482. ISSN 1516-7313.

The texture of this essay encompasses the traces of Biology present in two Monteiro Lobato’s child and teenage literature. The understanding about biological traces such as evolution, natural selection, size, classification and natural organization flow and mix with other themes and meanings and point out relationships and senses that occur among spaces - differences - of multiple Knowledge. Recognizing that Biology participates of this literature, we were able to construct a view into meanings that are (re) created in relation to the differences, not functioning as mere patches, copies of a unique cultural field or supposes as original. By bringing cultural meanings of these biological traces to the texts, there is an expansion in the writing by means of interruptions and spacings. One can investigate the relationships of the differentiations that are established between literature and biology and the intensity of the narrations that bring the beliefs, values and political interests in the scientific speech and that are brought into the literature in hybrid and nomad direction.

Keywords : Biology; Literature; Biological Traces; Monteiro Lobato.
