Reading and analysing different types of texts is a way for teachers to deal with the content of the school's values and mission. The aim of the study is to examine power relations between adults and children from the aspects of adult presence, adult guidance, and children's response, and whether the books follow the discourse of their time as regards power relations between adults and children. By making teachers aware of power relations in children's literature, we hope to be able to conduct a discussion with pupils about whether or not the power relationship complies with the school's values and mission. In the study four children's books are analysed: Bill i klämman, Emil i Lönneberga, Harry Potter och De Vises Sten and Guldmysteriet.The methods of critical discourse analysis and text analysis were used to analyse power relations between the characters in the books. The analysis shows that the two older books do not reflect power relations in keeping with their own historical time, whereas the two modern books do reflect their time. The analysis also shows that power relations between adults and children cannot be generalized, and that it is not always desirable for power relations in children's literature to decpit reality.

[pt] Esta dissertação tem como objetivo identificar e compreender as concepções de infância existentes numa instituição situada na Região Norte do Brasil, em meio à complexidade de suas ações nas áreas de cultura, lazer, saúde e educação. O estudo foi realizado a partir de observações das interações entre os adultos (das áreas de saúde, lazer, cultura e educação) e as crianças (da Educação Infantil). Tomando como base a perspectiva de criança enquanto ser da cultura de Lev. S. Vygotsky e Walter Benjamin e a concepção de linguagem de Mikhail Bakhtin, as análises aqui presentes também foram fruto de diálogos com pesquisas realizadas sobre a criança e suas relações com adultos em espaços educacionais. No primeiro capítulo são apresentados os caminhos tomados para a pesquisa, a concepção de infância que balizou todo o trabalho e a instituição, na qual foi realizado o estudo, e suas fronteiras. O segundo capítulo trata das concepções de infância, tendo como ponto de partida os espaços e suas organizações, e a ação e o olhar dos adultos sobre as crianças, além de suas próprias infâncias. E, finalmente, no terceiro capítulo, as crianças ganham lugar e voz para nos dizer o que é ser criança e o que é ser adulto. Este trabalho, ao identificar diferentes concepções de infância e tecer conclusões a respeito das infâncias dos adultos e seus olhares sobre as crianças, aponta para a necessidade de discussões sobre a infância na referida instituição, bem como para aspectos que possam contribuir para a reflexão de práticas de adultos que trabalham com a Educação Infantil. / [en] The purpose of this dissertation is to identify and understand the conceptions of childhood inside an institution in the North Region of Brazil, amidst the complex set of actions in the culture, leisure, health and education areas. The study was conducted based on observations of interactions between adults (from the health, leisure, culture and education areas) and the children (in Child Education). Based on Lev. S. Vygotsky and Walter Benjamin s notion of children as cultural beings and Mikhail Bakhtin s language concept, the analyses presented were also the result of dialogues between research on children and their relationships with adults within educational spaces. The first chapter presents the research paths selected, the conception of childhood, on which the whole work was based, and the institution where the study was conducted and its boundaries. The second chapter discusses different conceptions of childhood, taking as a starting point the spaces and their respective organization, the action and how adults look at children, in addition to their own childhood experiences. Finally, in the third chapter children are given space and voice to tell us what being a child and an adult means. By identifying the different conceptions of childhood and drawing conclusions on the childhood of adults and their way of looking at children, this work points to the need for further discussion of childhood in the target institution and to aspects that could contribute to further consideration of the practices adopted by adults who deal with Child Education.
