Resumo
Este trabalho tem por objetivo contribuir para as pesquisas referentes ao movimento científico e social conhecido como eugenia, a partir da análise de obras brasileiras de ficção científica publicadas na primeira metade do século XX, particularmente entre os anos de 1922 a 1949. A partir de algumas obras representativas, segundo a crítica especializada da época, buscamos verificar a forma com que o pensamento eugênico foi incorporado às narrativas de ficção científica, dando forma à representação ficcional de mundos utópicos eugenistas. Mapearemos e estudaremos a apropriação da ciência e do pensamento social desses intelectuais eugenistas pelos escritores brasileiros de ficção científica, no período de 1922 a 1949, possibilitando compreender as formas com as quais o discurso eugênico foi incorporado à literatura brasileira e, posteriormente, difundido por ela. Para tanto, buscamos entender os limites da eugenia como ciência, as diferentes formas do gênero ficção científica e as formas de interação entre literatura de ficção científica e eugenia no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos. Dessa forma, teremos um amplo aspecto das interações entre o pensamento social eugenista e o campo literário no Brasil. Sendo assim, os textos literários, a serem abordados no decorrer de nossa pesquisa, possibilitarão identificarmos a transposição do discurso científico eugenista para a literatura de ficção científica, na primeira metade do século XX
This work aims to contribute to research concerning the scientific and social movement known as eugenics, from the analysis of Brazilian science fiction works that were published in the first half of the twentieth century, particularly at the years 1922 to 1949. From some representative works, according to specialized critics of the age, we seek to verify the way the eugenic thinking was incorporated into the science-fiction stories, forming the fictional representation of utopian eugenicist worlds. We shal map and study the appropriation of science and social thought of these intellectual eugenicists by Brazilian writers of science fiction at the period 1922 to 1949, making possible to understand the ways which eugenic discourse was incorporated into Brazilian literature and posteriorly spread by it. Therefore we seek to understand the limits of eugenics as a science, the different forms of the science fiction genre and the forms of interaction between science fiction literature and eugenics in Brazil and the United States. Thus we will have an ample aspect of interactions between the eugenicist social thought and literary field in Brazil. In such case, the literary texts, which will be discussed during our research, will enable identifying the transposition of eugenicist scientific discourse to the science fiction literature in the first half of the twentieth century
