Therefore, its seeks to elucidate the problem of research starting from the following central question: Taking some Brazilian productions, what aspects of the culture of childhood were represented in them? In general, the objective is to understand the aspects represented by the film industry like the culture of the childhood and identify how these elements have been used in films. The first point to be emphasized is the understanding of the object of study in its conceptual terms, highlighted primarily by authors like Sarmento and Corsaro, based on four structural axes of the cultures of childhood (interactivity, playfulness, the fantasy of reality and reiteration), which this study aims to elucidate, together with other elements that mark the lives of children and the ways they relate to contemporary society. The second point refers to the way the cinematographic representation in Brazil apprehends this culture. Despite the numerous possibilities of reading a movie, movies will be taken here as the field of apprehension of representations of the culture of childhood from a critical perspective, that is, of understanding them as ways of orchestration of reality. Academic studies, such as thesis and dissertations, registered in the thesis database of Capes in the past 10 years (2002-2012) have been analyzed so we could have a considerable idea at what had been produced in Brazil on the subject. With this survey, we have decided to research films produced in Brazil that addressed somehow the universe of children and their childhood. According to pre-established criteria, we have encountered four movies that made up the universe of this research: The Story of Me (O Contador de Histórias), The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (O Ano em que Meus Pais Sairam de Férias), In the Middle of the Street (No Meio da Rua) and Mutum (Mutum). So as to achieve the objectives defined in this work, we proceeded to the analysis of the content in the light of theoretical matrix of historical and dialectical materialism, which is based on the discussions of human production and its constituent links in history, movement, class contradictions and human action/activity. In general terms, the chapters of the dissertation go about topics that, articulated and situated in the historical, social and cultural human context, give a foundation to the proposed theme. The themes of the discussions of the chapters are: Human Culture and Culture of Childhood, Processes of Social Interaction of Children, Social Relations and Processes of Reiteration, and Playfulness and Fantasy of Reality. / O presente trabalho, inscrito na linha de pesquisa Educação, Sociedade e Cultura, tem como objeto de estudo a cultura da infância representada em algumas obras da produção cinematográfica brasileira. Portanto, procura elucidar o problema de pesquisa a partir da seguinte questão central: Tomando algumas produções cinematográficas brasileiras, que aspectos da cultura da infância foram nelas representadas? De modo geral, objetiva-se compreender os aspectos representados pelas produções cinematográficas como cultura da infância e identificar como esses elementos foram utilizados nos filmes. Um primeiro ponto a ser ressaltado é a compreensão do objeto de estudo em seus termos conceituais, salientados prioritariamente por autores como Sarmento e Corsaro, com base em quatro eixos estruturadores das culturas da infância (a interactividade, a ludicidade, a fantasia do real e a reiteração), os quais o presente trabalho pretende elucidar, junto a outros elementos que marcam a vida e os modos das crianças de se relacionarem na sociedade contemporânea. O segundo ponto refere-se à forma de apreensão dessa cultura pela representação cinematográfica. A despeito das inúmeras possibilidades de leitura do cinema, este será tomado aqui como campo de apreensão das representações da cultura da infância numa perspectiva crítica, isto é, de compreendê- las como formas de instrumentalização da realidade. Foram analisadas produções acadêmicas (teses e dissertações) inscritas no banco de teses da Capes nos últimos dez anos (2002-2012) com o intuito de observar o que já havia sido produzido no Brasil sobre a temática. Feito esse levantamento, partiu-se para as pesquisas referentes aos filmes produzidos no Brasil que abordaram, de alguma forma, o universo das crianças e sua infância. De acordo com critérios preestabelecidos, foram encontrados os quatro filmes que compuseram o universo de estudo desta pesquisa: O contador de histórias, O ano em que meus pais saíram de férias, No meio da rua e Mutum. Para alcançar os objetivos definidos neste trabalho, procedeu-se às análises de conteúdo à luz da matriz teórica do materialismo histórico-dialético, que se baseia nas discussões da produção humana e seus nexos constitutivos na história, no movimento, nas contradições de classe e na ação/atividade humana. De forma geral, os capítulos que compõem a dissertação discorreram sobre temáticas que, articuladas e situadas no contexto humano histórico, social e cultural dão tessitura ao tema proposto. As discussões dos capítulos estão assim tematizadas: Cultura Humana e Cultura da Infância, os Processos de Interação Social da Criança, as Relações Sociais e os Processos de Reiteração, e Ludicidade e a Fantasia do Real.

Therefore, the following central question was proposed: Considering the routine of bathing and sleeping as moments of educational action in Child Education, how are the processes of autonomy or regulation of children's body identity in institutions of Goiânia? The aim is to understand the routine of Child Education, particularly the routine of bathing and sleep, as activities that can allow the construction of children's body identity, marked by the autonomy or regulation of this identity. In this sense, the following references were used for the field studies: Child and childhood: Sarmento (2004), Kuhlmann Jr. (2010), Siqueira (2011); Body and Corporality: Arroyo (2012), Baptista (2013), Daolio (1995), Foucault (2014); Child Education: Barbosa (2006), Batista (1998), Oliveira (2005), among others. As a research methodology, the observation of sleep and bath moments was chosen, in a total of 20 occurrences reported in logbooks. Interviews with the teachers responsible for groupings were also accomplished to understand the relationship between theory and practice conceptions. From the point of view of the method of analysis, some of the foundations of dialectical and historical materialism were still used as references for discussions about human production and meaning in history, movement, contradictions classes, and action/activity among human beings. The data were organized in three chapters, being that the first of which addresses issues of the historical and social dimensions of the child and the body. The second takes as reference the voices of the teachers to understand the conceptions that implicate the research themes. In the third chapter, issues that involve the construction of the children's bodily identity in their relationship with times, spaces, materials and relationships within the educational action of bathing and sleeping are apprehended. The results of this work indicated that latent practices centered on the adult figure that guide, normalize, regulate and control children's body actions during the bath and sleep routine. Thus, the process of the construction of the corporal identity is established under the bases of the regulation, and not of the autonomy. However, these results were only apprehended in view of the precarious conditions under which the moments of sleep and bathing in the studied institutions took place. This indicates that the material and concrete conditions also determine the way the conceptions are constituted by the teachers. Finally, it is understood that this work enabled to return to the meaning and meaning of sleep and bath routine in Child Education, considering the need to redirect its role in educational practice, focusing on the processes of child autonomy. / A presente dissertação, inscrita na Linha Educação, Sociedade e Cultura e no Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre Cultura e Educação na Infância (GEPCEI), tem como objeto de estudo a identidade corporal da criança na rotina da Educação Infantil. Para tanto, propôs-se a seguinte questão central: Considerando-se a rotina do banho e do sono como momentos da ação educativa na Educação Infantil, como se constituem os processos de autonomia ou regulação da identidade corporal das crianças em instituições de Goiânia? O objetivo é compreender a rotina da Educação Infantil, particularmente a rotina do banho e do sono, como atividades que podem permitir a construção da identidade corporal das crianças, marcadas pela autonomia ou regulação dessa identidade. Neste sentido, utilizaram-se, para os estudos de campo, as seguintes referências: Criança e infâncias: Sarmento (2004), Kuhlmann Jr. (2010), Siqueira (2011); Corpo e Corporalidade: Arroyo e Silva (2012), Baptista (2013), Daolio (1995), Foucault (2014); Educação Infantil: Barbosa (2006), Batista (1998), Oliveira (2005), dentre outros. Como metodologia de pesquisa, optou-se pela observação dos momentos do sono e do banho em um total de 20 ocorrências relatadas em diário de bordo. Realizaram-se, também, entrevistas com as professoras responsáveis pelos agrupamentos para apreender a relação entre as concepções teoria e prática. Do ponto de vista do método de análise, empregaramse ainda alguns dos fundamentos do materialismo histórico dialético, como referenciais para discussões sobre a produção humana e o sentido na história, no movimento, nas contradições de classe e na ação/atividade entre seres humanos. A exposição dos dados foi organizada em três capítulos, sendo que o primeiro aborda questões das dimensões histórico-sociais da criança e do corpo. O segundo toma como referência as vozes das professoras para compreensão das concepções que envolvem as temáticas da pesquisa. No terceiro capítulo, apreendem-se as questões que envolvem a construção da identidade corporal das crianças em sua relação com os tempos, espaços, materiais e as relações no âmbito da ação educativa do banho e do sono. Os resultados desse trabalho indicaram que, durante a rotina do banho e do sono, ficam latentes práticas centradas na figura adulta que orientam, normatizam, regulam e controlam as ações corporais das crianças. Desta forma, o processo de construção da identidade corporal se instaura sob as bases da regulação, e não da autonomia. Todavia, esses resultados só foram apreendidos tendo em vista ainda as precárias condições sob as quais se concretizaram os momentos do sono e do banho nas instituições pesquisadas. Isso indica que as condições materiais e concretas também determinam a forma como as concepções são constituídas pelas professoras. Por fim, compreende-se que este trabalho possibilitou retomar o sentido e o significado da rotina do sono e do banho na Educação Infantil, tendo em vista a necessidade de redirecionar sua função na prática educativa, com foco nos processos de autonomia da criança.

In South Africa there are great polarities in terms of needs in resource–poor communities versus communities with available resources. This is evident during visits to Sir Lowry's Pass Village and when available statistics on trends in the community are taken into account. A potentially valuable resource in resource–poor communities is outreach programmes by a faith–based organisation (FBO) such as Jabulani Africa Ministries (JAM). JAM is a Christian FBO with a strong community focus. This study focuses on the resource–poor community of Sir Lowry's Pass Village, situated in the Helderberg Basin in the Western Cape. Sir Lowry's Pass Village is just one of a few resource–poor communities to whom JAM reaches out on a weekly basis since through their outreach programme aimed at middle–childhood children. The aim of this study was to explore and describe the content of this outreach programme of JAM in Sir Lowry's Pass Village aimed at middle–childhood children in order to provide guidelines to more specifically target the needs of the particular group of children. Data were collected from various sources according to principles of participatory action research. Data were organised through thematic data analysis to identify themes. Two core themes emerged; one theme is a mutual lack of understanding of the broader field by JAM members and the target of their interventions, middle–childhood children. The other theme centred on the moral value system of the particular group of children. The central theoretical argument of this study is that outreach programmes by faith–based organisations (such as JAM) in resource–poor communities should be directed as effectively as possible to meet the needs of middle–childhood children. / http://hdl.handle.net//10394/7006 / Thesis (M.A. (Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.
