Imagens anacrônicas: uma proposta para discutir o enfoque Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade

Abstract

This research was mainly focused on investigating the method (the author’s grip) of the work of the German art historian and father of iconology Aby Warburg. (1866-1929). Proposing through a didactic transposition of this artisanal method of studies, some technological boards with anacronic images and visual culture; in order to promote Scientific and Technological Literacy, as regards reflections from CTS education, and as a imagined didactical material to the teaching practices of the academics of Biological Sciences of UTFPR/PG. The study was developed with 27 academics of Biological Sciences of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, and was applied in 6 face-to-face meetings promoted in the discipline of Interdisciplinary Project 5. In relation to the procedures that were adopted, this research is characterized as an applied research, intervention, with the qualitative methodological approach, and interpretative of the data that were collected through online questionnaires at the beginning and at the end of the research, as well as the information contained in the conceptual maps, and the Padlets produced by the academics. Therefore, the framework on the nine aspects of the CTS approach as a strategy for the development of the Padlets was presented. In this course, the scientific content of this work has been used in the transposition of the method and in the studies of Aby Warburg who has endeavored to investigate everything that makes of the guardian images of the human energy forces in the world. In this perspective, the proposed teaching material imagined a study not only cultural, but artistic and historical as well as an intrinsic experience of knowledge from Science, Technology and Society stimulating a know beyond its framework, a worrying know, which provided Scientific and Technological Literacy, combining the complexity between the knowledge of Art and Science potentiating thinking by anachronous images and visual culture. In this way, the research has helped to stimulate and promote the habit of thinking by images of visual culture by providing reflections on the cultural, dialogic, critical, conscious, autonomous, liberating and democratic formation of all academics involved in relation to the subjects embedded in the curriculum, as well as topics relevant to their formations as individuals inserted into society.
