SUMMARY:

This work has the format of three articles, in different moments of production. The first is more advanced, while the other two are only partially completed, with other sections that demarcate only the intention of what will still be produced described in the future. The thread running through these articles is the theme of transhumanism. This is an intellectual movement that seeks to increase or improve human capabilities so radically that human nature itself would need to be redefined. The first article presents a systematic literature review in order to map the articles published in scientific journals edited in Brazil on the theme of transhumanism. Thus, it presents results that quantitatively characterize transhumanism in this field of academic production. An important result of this first work was the constitution of a textual corpus of forty-four articles found by the systematic review and which served as a starting point for the second article. If in the first moment we privilege a literature mapping, in the second we present relevant thematic categories for the treatment of the transhumanism theme from the reading of these articles. We are preparing a text that answers the question: in which discussions has transhumanism been used in scientific journals edited in Brazil? In other words, what are we talking about when we talk about transhumanism in Brazil? Finally, after reading these articles and their interpretative systematization, we focus on the political aspect of the theme. Not only do we understand the importance of this aspect from our readings on the subject, but the recent creation, in 2014, of a Transhumanist Party in the United States and the campaign of its candidate, Zoltan Istvan, in 2016, for the presidency of the country, seems to indicate a relevant phenomenon for those who study the topic today. This third article is being written in the form of an essay and will offer a reasoned interpretation for the arrival of transhumanism in the sphere of party politics.
