PACHANE, Graziela Giusti. Um diálogo possível entre arte e ciência: a literatura nas aulas de metodologia de pesquisa. ETD [online]. 2006, vol.08, n.01, pp.90-105. ISSN 1676-2592.

The aim of this text is to offer an introduction to discussions about truth and science initiated with the use of literary texts. It tries to promote a dialogue between arts and science, between literature and research methodology (specially in education). Inspired on a Drummond’s poem, a Machado de Assis’ short story of and a contemporary romance, written by Lia Neiva, the text points out to literature as a way to introduce complex themes in science, as the notion of truth and reality, to graduate students. It briefly mentions a dialogue with other artistic productions - from optical illusion images to films and TV series - with the intention of making research methodology classes more dynamic, attractive and elucidative. At the end of the text, we are lead to a reflection about the possibilities and limits of our reading of reality as propitiated by our scientific and literary experiences, as well as the interpretations made/chosen according to our desires, myopias, and illusions, in a direct reference to the poem “The door of truth”, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade.
