Abstract
The present work presents the gender cartoon as a didactic resource to approach COVID-19 in Science teaching. Supported by the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which takes into account the association of humans and non-humans for the production of scientific facts, we analyzed charges by the same illustrator that were published in a widely circulated news portal. We seek to highlight the interactions between human and non-human entities present in the illustrations and reflect on their performances as products of interpretations about the world. We defend the use of cartoons as changeable furniture, that bring elements in order to guide to another look into scientific education about the realities built from the current pandemic. Furthermore, we believe that the charges can provide students with the mobilization of critical and reflective thinking that could emerge in a heterogeneous network of actors.
