The main problem of this research was to discover if children's picture books over the last fifty years have depicted rural values more significantly than urban values. One-hundred and one children's picture books were systematically chosen for analysis. This study takes an overall view of the history of children's literature. Also included is a review of the current studies and literature most germain to this study. Content analysis was used as the technique of data analysis, A descriptive analysis of the sample is also given. The study supports the main hypothesis that rural set, tings and rural values do occur more often than non-rural settings and urban values in children's picture books.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Otaviano de Oliveira Filho.pdf: 11765252 bytes, checksum: 5189b8147670eb92a49b34773fd42489 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-05-10 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This thesis tries to contrast the categories "sertão" and "sertanejo" from the contents constructed between the Brazilian social thought and the experiences of northern miners. Starting from the assumption that these categories constitute a complex semantic ballast that evidences a historical-social matter crossed by diverse places of enunciation, I propose the confrontation of this theme from its narrative envelope, considering it as also resulting from a discursive construction which is a significant, strategic part of the narratives of the Brazilian nation that took shape precisely at the end of the eighteenth century. The delimitation of a territory - the northern sertão of Minas Gerais - and the consequent classification of its inhabitant - the sertanejo - occurs here from the rationalization of a range of verbal texts accessed during the research process in one part and another of the enunciation on the sertão and the sertão that builds Brazil or lived locally. If, on the one hand, these categories are structuring of Brazilian social thought and apprehensible in its contents in reports of European travelers, historiographical, memorialistic and academic texts, chronicles, essays, popular songs, etc., on the other hand, I consider that the northern miners disseminate content that, at times, replicates the thought and also the constructed interpretations having lived as the foundation to think the world in which they live. The sertaneja narrative, in its various formats and supports, which has been a recurrent source of systematic research in the last four decades, is taken here from a relational perspective, as a counterpart of the historical experience experienced by the living in their communities dispersed by the great call backwoods / Esta tese procura contrapor as categorias “sertão” e “sertanejo” a partir dos conteúdos construídos entre o pensamento social brasileiro e as vivências de norte mineiros. Partindo do pressuposto de que essas categorias constituem um lastro semântico complexo que evidencia uma matéria histórico-social atravessada por lugares de enunciação diversos, proponho o enfrentamento deste tema a partir do seu invólucro narrativo, considerando-o como resultante, também, de uma construção discursiva que é parte significativa, estratégica, das narrativas da nação brasileira que se configuraram precisamente a partir de fins do século XVIII. A delimitação de um território – o sertão norte mineiro – e a consequente classificação do seu habitante – o sertanejo – dá-se aqui a partir da racionalização de uma gama de textos verbais acessados durante o processo de pesquisa numa vertente e outra da enunciação sobre o sertão e o sertanejo que constrói o Brasil ou o vivido localmente. Se, por um lado, tais categorias são estruturantes do pensamento social brasileiro e apreensível em seus conteúdos em relatos de viajantes europeus, textos historiográficos, memorialísticos e acadêmicos, crônicas, ensaios, canções populares etc., por outro lado, considero que os norte mineiros disseminam conteúdos que, às vezes, replicam o pensado e, também, pelas interpretações construídas tendo o vivido como o alicerce para pensar o mundo em que vivem. A narrativa sertaneja, em seus vários formatos e suportes, que tem sido fonte recorrente de pesquisa sistemática nas últimas quatro décadas, é tomada aqui a partir de uma perspectiva relacional, como contraparte da experiência histórica do experienciado pelos viventes em suas comunidades dispersas pelo chamado grande sertão mineiro

Very important parts of the paper are some findings of leisure possibilities {--} municipality offers, comercial possibilities etc. Seniors are large part of rural inhabitants who spend their free time in country. Country itself has a large potential to join a lot of quality leisure activites. Municipality and other rural subjects can increase this potential and thus contribute to make the leisure activity of seniors in country more worthy and good. On the other hand, come activities provided by municipality and other public organisations are not sufficient and seniors can`t use them.

A temática desta tese é a representação da natureza no pensamento social e na literatura brasileira entre as últimas décadas do século XIX e as primeiras do século XX, e suas relações com a emergência de um sentido de modernidade na cultura do país. As fontes pesquisadas foram obras de caráter político, historiográfico, sociológico e literário, compreendendo narrativas de ficção e de não ficção. Os eixos principais adotados em sua abordagem foram: a busca de relações entre os aspectos da natureza brasileira e a formação histórica, política e social do país; a concepção do conflito e da violência na descrição da atividade humana no território; a imagem do sertão na formação da sensibilidade e do sentimento da vida brasileira; a inserção do espaço natural nos projetos de modernização concebidos pela intelectualidade do país, no sentido da promoção do controle, do uso prático e da fruição estética da natureza. / This thesis aims to study the representation of nature in social thought and literature, from the last decades of the XIXth century to the first ones of the XXth, and its connections with the creation of a sense of modernity in Brazilian culture. Its sources consist in works of politics, history, sociology and literature, comprising both ficcion and essay. The main axes adopted to this approach are: the conception of relations between Brazilian natural aspects and its history, political life and society; the use of the ideas of conflict and violence to the description of the human intervention in national territory; the image of the inlands to the development of a brazilian sensibility; the presence of nature in the projects of modernization conceived by the intelligentsia, in order to promote control, best practical use and aesthetical enjoyment of nature.
