Abstract
This article analyzes the ruptures from and continuations of eugenicist ideology in the work of Salvador de Toledo Piza Jr., a geneticist and professor at the Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz." Documentary research involving articles, correspondence, and notes from this former director of the Boletim de Eugenia investigates the reshaping of eugenics in the post-1945 context, a time when Piza Jr. began to publicize evolutionism. While Piza Jr. stopped publicly defending eugenics in latter half of the twentieth century, he maintained his racialized notions into the 1950s, corresponded with eugenicist groups in the 1960s, and supported a hierarchical interpretation of human evolution until the late 1980s.
本文分析了优生学思想在萨尔瓦多·德·托莱多·皮萨(Salvador de Toledo Piza Jr.)的工作中的断裂和延续,他是遗传学家,也是高等农业大学“路易斯·德·奎罗斯”的教授。文献研究包括文章、信件和这位前博莱蒂姆·德·尤金尼亚(Boletim de Eugenia)主任的笔记,调查了1945年后背景下优生学的重塑,当时小披萨开始宣传进化论。虽然小披萨在20世纪下半叶不再公开为优生学辩护,但他在20世纪50年代仍坚持他的种族化观念,在60年代与优生学团体保持联系,并在20世纪80年代末之前支持人类进化的等级解释。
