Esta concepção teórica foi adotada por estar de acordo com os objetivos desta investigação: 1) analisar a estrutura textual e temática de dois contos de H. C. Andersen, “O isqueiro mágico” (1835) e “A rainha da neve” (1845), selecionados a partir do corpus de sua obra, observando aspectos comuns relativos ao tema, ao assunto, à mensagem; ao enredo; ao tempo, ao espaço; ao narrador, ao foco narrativo e às personagens; 2) definir critérios para a escolha de um livro ou de um conto de literatura infantil; 3) sugerir atividades que possam contribuir com o trabalho da literatura infantil em sala de aula. O foco do estudo definiu-se em relação ao texto narrativo/clássico da literatura infantil. As atividades desenvolvidas foram de cunho bibliográfico e acompanharam todo o processo de investigação. Por fim, o fato de a leitura constituir-se de um dos grandes problemas vividos pela escola e pela sociedade como um todo, como aqueles relativos ao analfabetismo funcional, à não formação do leitor e à não compreensão de textos literários justifica uma pesquisa que venha a contribuir para a superação dos problemas vividos pelas escola, no que concerne à leitura. / The survey A methodological theoretical pathway for reading “The tinderbox” and “The snow queen” by Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875), based on the concept of language understood as a process of human interaction and the act of reading, as a complex activity, involving not only grammatical and semantic aspects, but pragmatic and dialogic ones. This theoretical concept was adopted since it agrees with the goals of this investigation: 1) to analyze the textual and thematic structure of two H. C. Andersen’s tales, “The tinderbox” and “The snow queen”, selected from the corpus of his work, noticing similarities regarding the theme, subject, message; plot; time, space and place; the narrator and narrative focus and the characters; 2) to define criteria for the choice of a book or a short story from children's literature; 3) suggest activities that may contribute to the instruction of children’s literature in classrooms. The focus of the study was defined in relation to the narrative/classic text of children's literature. The activities developed undertaken were of bibliographic nature and accompanied the entire process of investigation. Finally, the fact of reading is one of the major problems experienced by school and by society as a whole, such as those relating to functional illiteracy, non-formation of the reader and lack of understanding of literary texts, justifies a research that will contribute to overcoming the problems experienced by school, when it comes to reading.

Estas concepções teóricas foram adotadas por dois motivos: por estarem de acordo com o proposto nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais de Língua Portuguesa (2001) e com os objetivos desta investigação: 1) orientar os professores, sujeitos da pesquisa, sobre como trabalhar com contos clássicos, particularmente os escritos por H.C. Andersen, em sala de aula, em uma 4ª série do ensino fundamental; 2) verificar se o professor utiliza as obras O patinho feio e O rouxinol e o imperador da China em sala de aula e como desenvolve atividades relacionadas a estes textos; 3) planejar e orientar um trabalho sistematizado junto aos professores com as referidas obras; 4) identificar as contribuições deste trabalho para o professor fazendo uso de um instrumento avaliativo questionário ao término das atividades desenvolvidas na escola. O foco do estudo foi se definindo em relação ao texto narrativo, aos clássicos da literatura infantil e Hans Christian Andersen. As atividades de pesquisa caracterizaram-se pela leitura bibliográfica e pela pesquisa de campo realizada em uma escola pública de Presidente Prudente-SP. A opção pelos contos ocorreu por ser: O patinho feio uma das obras mais conhecidas pelas crianças brasileiras e O rouxinol e o imperador da China por ser obra constituinte da coleção Literatura em Minha Casa e menos conhecida pelas crianças brasileiras. / The research The ugly duckling ' and The nightingale and the emperor of China ', by Hans Christian Andersen: the children literature in the 4th class, elementary school is ruled in the conception of understanding language as a process of human interaction and the reading, as a complex activity, involving aspects not only semantic, but cultural, ideological, philosophical and phonetic. These theoretical conceptions were adopted by two reasons: for being in agreement with what is proposed in the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais de Língua Portuguesa (2001) and with the objectives of the investigation: 1) to guide the teachers, whom will participate of the research, how to work with the stories of H.C. Andersen in 4th grade the elementary school; 2) to notice if the teacher works with The ugly duckling and The nightingale and the emperor of China and how they develope activities with these fairy tales; 3) to plan and to guide a reading work and production of texts which refers to them and 4) to identify, through a questionnaire, the contributions of this work in related to changing in a pedagogic practice which includes the work with children literatur in classroom. The focus of the study was coming up in relation to: narrative text, classics of the children literature, Hans Christian Andersen and the stories: The ugly duckling and The nightingale and the emperor of China. The research activities were defined by the bibliographical reading and for the field research developed in a public school in Presidente Prudente-SP. The option for the stories happened mainly because: The ugly duckling is one of the most well-known stories by H. C. Andersen by Brazilian children and The nightingale and the emperor of China because takes part of the collection Literatura em minha Casa and it is not wellknown as The ugly duckling by the Brazilian children.

The role of the imagination stands out as a particularly dominant notion of the romantic period as opposed to the emphasis on reason during the Enlightenment. It is this romantic influence that Andersen’s tales especially exemplify. For him the imagination is transcendent – one can overcome the mystery and hardship of an earthly existence by recasting situations imaginatively and one can even be elevated to a higher, spiritual realm by its power. The transcendent power of the imagination is best understood by viewing it through the lens of negative capability, a concept put forward by romantic poet, John Keats. The concept implies an “imaginative openness” to what is, which allows one to tolerate life’s uncertainties and the inexplicable suffering that forms part of one’s earthly existence by using the imagination to open up new potential within trying circumstances. In selected fairy tales, Andersen’s child protagonists transcend their circumstances by the power of their imagination. In other tales, nature is instrumental in this imaginative transcendence. The natural world conveys spiritual truths and has a moralising influence on the characters, bringing them closer to the Ultimate Creator. This follows the philosophy of German Naturphilosophie, as well as that of English romantics like Coleridge and Wordsworth, for whom nature functions as a portal to the spiritual world. The concept of the “sublime” underpins this philosophy. If nature is viewed through an imaginative, instead of an empirical lens, it becomes the means by which the temporal world can be transcended. It is a message of hope and as such is in keeping with Andersen’s self professed calling as visionary who uses his art to uplift mankind. In this he is the ultimate romantic hero or outsider who, while standing on the periphery of society, observes its shortcomings and feels called upon to show the way to a better world. / Sekere invloede van agtiende- en negentiende eeuse Engelse en Duitse romantisisme kan in Hans Christian Andersen se feëverhale bespeur word. Veral die rol van die verbeelding staan uit as ‘n dominante invloed van romantisisme, in teenstelling met die laat sewentien- en vroeë agtiende eeuse fokus op rasionaliteit. Dit is hierdie romantiese invloed wat Andersen se verhale veral versinnebeeld. Vir hom is die verbeelding transendentaal – ‘n mens kan die misterie en swaarkry van jou aardse bestaan oorkom deur situasies deur die oog van die verbeelding te bejeën en kan selfs deur die mag van die verbeelding opgehef word na ‘n hoër, meer spirituele vlak. Die transendentale mag van die verbeelding kan beter begryp word wanneer dit deur die lens van “negative capability” gesien word. Hierdie konsep is deur die romantiese digter, John Keats, voorgestel. Die konsep impliseer ‘n verbeeldingryke openheid in die aangesig van aardse onsekerheid en swaarkry, wat die mens uiteindelik in staat stel om nuwe potensiaal in moeilike omstandighede raak te sien. In uitgekose feëverhale, oorkom Andersen se kinderprotagoniste hul moeilike omstandighede deur die mag van die verbeelding. In ander verhale is die natuur deurslaggewend in dié transendentale verbeeldingsreis. Nie net dra die natuur geestelike waarhede oor nie, maar dit het ook ‘n moraliserende invloed op die karakters, wat hulle nader aan ‘n Opperwese bring. Dit herinner aan die Duitse Naturphilosophie, asook die sienswyse van Engelse romantikusse soos Coleridge en Wordsworth, vir wie die natuur ‘n deurgangsroete na die geestelike wêreld is. Die idee van die “sublime” is onderliggend aan hierdie filosofie. As die natuur deur middel van die verbeeldingslens, in plaas van deur ‘n empiriese lens bejeën word, kan dit ‘n manier word om die aardse te oorkom. Dit is dus ‘n boodskap van hoop wat in lyn is met Andersen se selfopgelegde taak as profeet wat sy kuns gebruik om die mensdom op te hef. In hierdie opsig is hy die absolute romantiese held of buitestaander, wat, ofskoon hy aan die buitewyke van die samelewing staan, tóg tekortkominge raaksien en geroepe voel om die weg na ‘n beter wêreld te wys. / English Studies / M.A. (English)
