In this research I investigate in the modern biological speech, theories and propositions that legitimate the social equalities and differences through arguments considered scientific, in order to establish a relation with the Human Rights Education. My initial motivation for such study occurred from the identification of conceptions contrary to humanistic values between students from basic education. These conceptions are maintained and defended through arguments considered scientific by these subjects, that when asked about themes related to race, ethnicity, sexuality and social organization, manifested prejudices using elements of the biological speech, as a way to justify their ideas. With the propose to establish relations between Biological Speech and Human Rights Education, I appeal to the values present in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that integrate a global project of teaching the prerogatives established by the United Nations Organization and to the analysis of three reference books from Modern Biology The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex, from Charles Darwin (1809 1882); The Selfish Gene, from Richard Dawkins (1941 -) and The Origin of Humankind, from Richard Leaky (1944-). The selected empiric material was organized and investigated with use of methodological principles of analysis of content, including the construction of the textual body that receives inferences in its development, supplying the visualization of speeches that refuse or corroborate values close to the humanistic conceptions present in the Human Rights. The diversity of the biological speeches analysed - occurring from different reasons, indicate the necessity of the teaching of altruistic and cooperative values, either for bringing revealing arguments of our selfish nature or being that they defend our tendency to the inborn altruism that need to be maintained and renforced by the cultural means. The themes developed in the work promote multiple discussions that can be used by educators in biological sciences so that, while teaching biology, divulge, educate and reflect about Human Rights.

Ser vivo, ser espécie, ser classificado: epistemes, dispositivos e subjetivações no ensino de ciências e biologia

In general terms the objective of this research is related to the discussion of the effects of scientific rationality and its truths in the formation and work of teachers of science and biology. The analysis addresses the areas of acquisition of knowledge, its forms and its power relations problematizing the hegemonic thinking and contingent of biology in the twentieth century, demarcated in their evolutionary utterances and molecular. The biological sciences established as a finished product and continuously is questioned the extent that it defends the thesis that the presence of biology multiplies the productions of true and false, resulting in different modes to train teachers and to teach biological sciences in territories which are believed to have and maintain certain homogeneity. In this perspective, the research makes visible the statements that corroborate the thesis, using documents that narrate the daily life of science education and biology, such as books and periodicals of teacher training and teaching material used in basic education, among others. The documents shall be defined by the appearance of objects investigating. The analysis tools arranged on theories of Michel Foucault, especially concepts like épistémè and dispositif related to investigations systems of constitution of knowledge. The perspectives of épistémè and dispositif in this study are linked to the production of objects life, species and classification system, allowing thinking about the demarcation of content and networks established. In effect the body of this work brings in a deliberate imbricated form, analysis certain statements that refer to ways of thinking about what is to be alive, be species and be classified, predominantly in the period between the beginning of the twentieth century the beginning of the 21st century. Biology in this analytical perspective appears as a unified not knowledge, therefore, moving field, and struggle for power to signify the idea of life. Dispute which expresses itself in the teaching of biology producing multiple, nuances and contestants forms to tell about the living.
