UM Alemão em Santa Catarina: a coleção entomológica entomológica Fritz Plaumann

Abstract

This work aims to discuss the formation of entomological collection Fritz Plaumann. With the understanding that the act of collecting is a cultural practice, we try to understand the way that the collection took to get to the Museum. Fritz Plaumann presents itself as a collector-collector concerned with environmental issues and with the production of
knowledge as well. His contribution was important for mapping the insect fauna in southern Brazil. We intend to discuss on the collector, the collection and finally the museum.
