Resumo: A collection of books addressed to children titled “Farm Animals” aims, according to its publishing company, to be didactic on the subject of the animals in question. This study intends to question the didacticism of this collection through a comparative analysis between the case of “The Cow” (book) and the exploitation practices described by Portuguese livestock industry reports. It was concluded that there are considerable gaps between the narratives in this collection and the realities experienced by the animals in the livestock industry. That is, the narratives in question act in accordance with a hegemonic (food) culture, ultimately promoting invisibility and mythification - perpetuating the emotional separation between the consuming population and the evoked animals.

Este estudo pretendeu inquirir o didatismo desta coleção através de uma análise comparativa entre o caso de A Vaca (livro) e as práticas de exploração descritas pela literatura do setor agropecuário em Portugal. Concluiu-se que existem desfasamentos consideráveis entre as narrativas desta coleção comparativamente às realidades experienciadas pelos animais da indústria agropecuária. Ou seja, as narrativas em questão atuam em conformidade com uma cultura (alimentar) hegemónica, promovendo a invisibilidade e a mitificação – o que contribui para manter a separação emocional entre a população consumidora e os animais evocados.FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial2018-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/1087310.52780/res.10873Estudos de Sociologia; v. 23 n. 44 (2018): Dossiê: Sociologia e literatura nas diversas formas e fases da modernidade1982-47181414-0144reponame:Estudos de Sociologiainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/10873/7463Copyright (c) 2018 Estudos de Sociologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFonseca, Rui Pedro2018-08-01T01:01:00Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/10873Revistahttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudosPUBhttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/oaistraud.fclar@unesp.br||estudosdesociologia@fclar.unesp.br||maria.jardim@unesp.br1982-47181414-0144opendoar:2018-08-01T01:01Estudos de Sociologia - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
