O papel da representatividade na literatura infantil afro-brasileira num quilombo aguabranquense

Abstract

The present work aimed to understand the current situation of representation in the scenario of Afro-Brazilian children's literature of a school located in the quilombola community Sítio Queimadas, seeking ways to raise awareness of the importance of this literary medium in the practices developed in the classroom as a facilitating mechanism in the construction of the subjectivity of children in the Quilombola territory. Thus, bibliographic research was used for this work through scientific articles and books, taken as theoretical basis Gouvêa (2005), Gomes (2002), Feitoza (2012), Santos (2014), and others. The research is of a qualitative nature, whose data collection technique was based on semi-structured interviews with the professor of that institution. Among the results achieved, it is verified that the representation in children's literature faces significant challenges for its real effectiveness, a factor present even in the researched quilombola community. The theme presents a significant contribution to the construction of reflections about the formation of subjects.
