Resumo: The study of how characters from the natural sciences are represented in the literature can become a way to establish connections between these two areas of knowledge, apparently so distinct. Furthermore, literature can also start to reflect not only the knowledge of science, but that of the scientist himself, demonstrating that these two fields of knowledge inhabit the same cultural space, influencing each other. In the work Solar (2010), by the English writer Ian McEwan, this movement is perceptible, because the protagonist is a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, thus, a professional working within his field of work. Therefore, in this article the objective is to analyze the representation of the physicist in Solar, establishing relations between the image created by the author and philosophical conceptions about scientific thinking.

Además, la literatura también puede empezar a reflejar no solo el conocimiento de la ciencia, sino el del propio científico, demostrando que estos dos campos del conocimiento habitan en un mismo espacio cultural, influyéndose mutuamente. En la obra Solar (2010), del escritor inglés Ian McEwan, se nota este movimiento, pues el protagonista es un premio Nobel de Física, por lo tanto, un profesional que trabaja dentro de su campo de trabajo. Por tanto, en este artículo el objetivo es analizar la representación del físico en Solar, estableciendo relaciones entre la imagen creada por el autor y las concepciones filosóficas sobre el pensamiento científico.O estudo de como personagens originários das ciências naturais são representados na literatura, pode se tornar um caminho para estabelecer conexões entre essas duas áreas do conhecimento, aparentemente tão distintas. Além disso, a literatura também pode passar a refletir não apenas o saber da ciência, mas o do próprio cientista, demonstrando que esses dois campos do saber habitam o mesmo espaço cultural influenciando-se mutuamente. Na obra Solar (2010), do escritor inglês Ian McEwan, esse movimento é perceptível, pois, o protagonista é um ganhador do Prêmio Nobel de Física, logo, um profissional atuante dentro de seu campo de trabalho. Portanto, neste artigo o objetivo é analisar a representação do físico em Solar estabelecendo relações entre a imagem criada pelo autor e concepções filosóficas sobre o pensamento científico.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2021-06-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/3710110.15448/1984-7726.2021.1.37101Letras de Hoje; Vol. 56 No. 1 (2021); e37101Letras de Hoje; Vol. 56 Núm. 1 (2021); e37101Letras de Hoje; v. 56 n. 1 (2021); e371011984-77260101-333510.15448/1984-7726.2021.1reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/37101/26846Copyright (c) 2021 Letras de Hojehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHülsendeger, Margarete Jesusa2021-06-11T22:59:46Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/37101Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2021-06-11T22:59:46Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
