| Résumé anglais |
The chronicles (1978-1989) written by Félix Servio Ducoudrau, edited in six volumes under the title La Naturaleza dominicana (2006), relate scientific and entomological excursions carried out by scientists. This article aims to initiate a study of these chronicles from cultural history and literacy studies, and some approaches of ecocriticism. The chronicles are part of a tradition of science popularisation assumed by the press, but they renew the genre by assuming a poetic language at the service of a desire to inform and awaken an ecological awareness in the reader. The insects, very present in its pages, appear as particularly effective vectors of this message, by summoning all the senses during the observation, and requestions the memory of childhood, of stories, while questioning the relationship between the human, societies and nature. Testimony of the rise of ecology in the 1970's and 1980', these chronicles invite to reflect on the form and the aims of texts about insects and nature that are published nowadays.
