Incarnated Individual, Biography, Cognitive Analysis
Feminist Critical Theories has reported the androcentric view in sciences and several fields of knowledge for a long time. In 2009, we noticed this commom vision in the exhibition entitled CIÊNCIA COM DENDÊ - nomes da ciência na Bahia, ontem e hoje”, which took place at the Museu de Ciência e Tecnologia - Museu de C&T, na cidade de Salvador-Ba. The exhibition was about the prominent male researchers from Bahia, whose research mainly focused on the field of Celebration of National Week of Science and Technology. It also had the visitors from several public schools. Once observed the explicit invisibility of female production, we decided to create a catalog in which there is a promotion of the knowledge created by female researchers from Bahia. This thesis aims to evidence the importance of female productions, specifically the life and work of Teresinha Fróes Burnham, woman from Bahia, biologist, professor at the Federal University from Bahia, and a great representative in the educational scenario of Bahia. This dissertation is considered to be a literary thesis, once it ventures to present the narrative of early years, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, as well as her academic works. It is pertinent to expose that this research was made in collaboration with Teresinha Fróes Burnham biography, thus she is introduced as a person and a researcher bound to her subjectivity.Refering to her scientific production legacy, a comprehension view was applied to her main concepts, emphasizing Cognitive Analysis and Multi-referentility.
