Resumo: |
This research is related to eugenics in Brazil. It aims to discuss the scientific speech of the authors who contributed to the journal Boletim de Eugenia published monthly from 1929 until 1933. It takes into account its repercussion in our country as well as its relation to the social transformations that were taking place at that moment here. This thesis contains an introduction and five chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the origins of word eugenics and its developments. Chapter 2 discusses about some subjects related to eugenics in Brazil, from the colonization to the Republic. Chapter 3 comments on some eugenics views which are present in Boletim. Chapter 4 analyses the scientific speech related to eugenics. Chapter 5 provides some final remarks on the subject.
