Resumo: In this article, our objective is to make some contributions to the debate around the “quantum mysticism” phenomenon, exploring discursive aspects that permeate an utterance with this kind of theme. To this end, we bring forth an analysis of the book Quantum healing by Deepak Chopra, based on the philosophy of the Bakhtin Circle. We investigate not only the author's argumentative strategies, but we also connect the constituent elements of this utterance (theme, structure and style) with its context of publication, production and reception. We end our arguments recognizing the incoherence that Chopra demonstrates with his intertwining of mystical and alternative conceptions with a scientific worldview, while uttering inconsistent metaphors and serious contradictions, but we also highlight that the author was able to influence the way in which concepts related to Quantum Physics circulate outside the academia.

Para tanto, realizamos uma análise metalinguística do livro A cura quântica de Deepak Chopra, com base na filosofia da linguagem do Círculo de Bakhtin. Investigamos não apenas as estratégias argumentativas do autor, mas também conectamos os elementos constitutivos desse enunciado (tema, estrutura e estilo) com seu contexto de produção e publicação. A partir da análise reconhecemos a incoerência de Chopra ao sintetizar visões de mundo místicas e alternativas e uma visão de mundo científica repleta de metáforas inconsistentes e graves contradições, mas destacando como o autor conseguiu influenciar o modo como conceitos relacionados à Física Quântica são mobilizados fora do contexto acadêmico.Imprensa Universitária - UFSC2021-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/7685410.5007/2175-7941.2021.e76854 Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; v. 38 n. 3 (2021): Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; 1589-16182175-79411677-2334reponame:Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/76854/47905https://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/76854/47906Copyright (c) 2021 Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Físicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPigozzo, DanielNascimento, Matheus MonteiroLima, Nathan Willig2021-12-15T21:51:35Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/76854Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/oaicbefisica@gmail.com||fscccef@fsc.ufsc.br|| cbefisica@gmail.com2175-79411677-2334opendoar:2021-12-15T21:51:35Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
