Utilizamos como referencial teórico - metodológico a Teoria Histórico-Cultural e realizamos uma pesquisa empírica alicerçada no método Materialista Histórico Dialético, realizada junto às crianças de uma escola de Educação Infantil, sujeitos da pesquisa, que vivenciaram situações de aprendizagem estruturadas em atividades com livros de literatura infantil que compõem o acervo do Programa Nacional de Biblioteca Escolar (PNBE). Para a efetivação do processo de intervenção foram realizados 12 (doze) encontros no Centro de Convivência Infantil – CCI “Chalézinho da Alegria” da UNESP de Presidente Prudente, orientados pelos membros do Grupo de Estudos, Intervenção e Pesquisa em Educação Escolar e Especial e Teoria histórico-cultural (GEIPEE-thc), e nas pesquisas teórico-práticas desenvolvidas pelo Centro de Estudos em Leitura e Literatura Infantil e Juvenil (CELLIJ) Maria Betty Coelho. Decidimos trabalhar com a Educação Infantil, em particular com crianças entre dois e três anos de idade por entendermos esse período etário como crucial na formação dos processos psíquicos superiores humanos, e concebermos que, ao evoluir no processo de comunicação (emocional – social) a criança acumula experiências culturais que lhe permitem avançar no seu processo de desenvolvimento humano. Neste sentido, a educação escolar deve priorizar atividades educativas que promovam o avanço da linguagem infantil, fator que pode e deve ser estimulado pelas várias formas de linguagem humana, dentre elas a linguagem literária. A partir dos dados produzido, concluímos que as práticas de ensino com o livro literário contribuem para a formação das capacidades necessárias para a constituição da personalidade humana, em especial da linguagem infantil, auxiliando no desenvolvimento da compreensão da língua materna, propiciando a capacidade de imitação, ampliação do vocabulário e auxiliando na formação da linguagem como função de comunicação e generalização. / The master's thesis was linked to line of research 3 - Childhood and Education, the Graduate Program in Education of the Faculty of Science and Technology FCT - UNESP / Presidente Prudente, and aimed to understand the development process of Higher Psychological Functions in particular of human language and study the contributions that literary reading activities planned, organized and properly mediated can promote the process of appropriation and language development in children in the school and the education of children between 2 (two) and 3 ( three years old. The theoretical framework - methodological historical-cultural theory and conducted a grounded empirical research on Materialist Dialectics History method, conducted with the children of a school of Early Childhood Education, research subjects, who experienced learning situations structured activities with literature books children that make up the collection of the National School Library Program (PNBE). For the effectiveness of the intervention process were conducted twelve (12) meetings at the Children's Community Center - KIC "Chalezinho Joy" of Presidente Prudente UNESP, guided by members of the Study Group, Intervention and Research in School Education and Special and Theory historical-cultural (GEIPEE-thc), and the theoretical and practical research conducted by the Center for Reading and Children's Literature and Youth (CELLIJ) Betty Maria Coelho. We decided to work with early childhood education, particularly with children between two and three years old because we believe this age period as crucial in the formation of human higher mental processes, and conceive that to evolve in the communication process (emotional - social) child builds cultural experiences that allow you to advance the human development process. In this sense, education should prioritize educational activities that promote the advancement of children's language, a factor that can and should be encouraged by the various forms of human language, among them the literary language. From the data produced, we conclude that the teaching practices with the literary book contribute to the formation of the skills needed for the formation of human personality, especially children's language, assisting in the development of understanding of the native language, providing imitation capacity, vocabulary expansion and assisting in the formation of language as communication and generalization function.

The purpose of this study is to analyze commonly read children’s literature from a gender perspective. The study also contains a discussion about what these books can convey to students and how they can be used in a didactic perspective. The selection of books has been made based on a research that showed which ten books teachers mostly use for reading aloud across the country. The books have been placed in relation to the current stereotypes found in our society. The study shows that there are a large variety of gender structures in the books, with some characters who follows the norm and some who breaks it. Despite that, generalizations have been made and each book has been divided into category breaks the norm or follows the norm. The result has shown that most of the books breaks the norm, but most books also requires a discussion about gender afterwards in order not to be misinterpreted and spread wrong values. The study therefore reveals that children’s literature can be used in the teaching to highlight and discuss value-based issues, through reading aloud and book discussions. / Syftet med undersökningen är att analysera vanligt förekommande skönlitterära högläsningsböcker ur ett genusperspektiv. I undersökningen förs en diskussion om vad dessa böcker kan förmedla till elever och hur de kan användas i ett didaktiskt perspektiv. Urvalet av böcker har gjorts av en förundersökning som visat vilka tio skönlitterära böcker lärare mest använder till högläsning runt om i landet. Böckerna har sedan ställts i relation till de rådande stereotyperna som finns i vårt samhälle. Undersökningen visar att det finns en stor variation i genusstrukturerna i respektive bok, med några karaktärer som följer normen och några som bryter den. Däremot har generaliseringar kunnat göras och respektive bok har blivit indelat i kategorin bryter normen eller följer normen. Resultatet har visat att majoriteten av böckerna bryter mot normen, men att de flesta böckerna kräver en efterföljande diskussion om genus för att inte misstolkas och sprida felaktiga värden. Av undersökningen har man därmed kunnat konstatera att det går att använda skönlitterära böcker i undervisningen för att belysa och diskutera värdegrundsfrågor, genom högläsning och boksamtal.

Picturebooks with characters that have an intellectual disability provides an opportunity for children with and without disabilities of their own to identify with the story. The study examines a selection of five contemporary Swedish picturebooks for children that features characters with an intellectual disability. This study explores how ideologies of normalisation and inclusion influence the way these characters are presented and represented in text and imagery. Drawing from critical discourse analysis the aim of this text is to show if power relations in the story can provide different subject positions for the reading child to take. The results of the analysis show authentic and varied portrayals of characters with intellectual disability. There were two different kind of discourses on normality evident in the picture books: A child like everyone else and different like everyone else. The discourse of a child like everyone else means a perspective where the character with an intellectual disability is portrayed without a focus on the disability. This results in a normalization of the presence of a person with an intellectual disability but neglects to portray the specific experiences that character may have when it comes to their disability. The discourse of being different like everyone else gives a perspective on intellectual disability where difference is normal and part of everyday life. This perspective portrays disability and diversity as part of a normality.

of the thesis The dissertation thesis deals with the problem of using children's literature in teaching foreign languages at elementary schools. It frames the topic by Czech curricular documents and constituents of the teaching-learning process, provides a historical survey and lists the genres of the children's literature. It characterizes the skill of reading in foreign language teaching and deals with the position of the literary text and lesson planning with children's literature within the foreign language teaching process. Attention is also paid to children's literature as the constituent of the pre-service teacher training. The aim of the thesis is to find out whether children's literature is used in foreign language teaching at elementary schools, whether contemporary textbooks use it, how it is perceived by in-service and pre-service teachers and last but not least what children's literature in the teaching-learning process of foreign languages has to offer. Research tools used for the purposes of the thesis were questionnaires, observations, specially prepared teaching materials based on literary texts and analysis of a textbook. The research proved that children's literature is used both by contemporary textbooks and by teachers in the foreign language education process. Since there is...

George MacDonald (1824-1905) is one of the most complex and significant Scottish writers of the nineteenth century, especially as a writer of children's fiction and literary fairy tales. His works, however, have seldom been studied as Scottish literature. This dissertation is the first full-length analysis of his writings for children in their Scottish context, focusing particularly on his use of Scottish folklore in his literary fairy tales. MacDonald wrote in the Scottish Romantic tradition of Robert Burns, Walter Scott, and James Hogg; by close reading his works alongside similar texts by his compatriots, such as Andrew Lang, MacDonald's own idiosyncratic contribution to that tradition becomes more apparent. His profound knowledge of and appreciation for Christian mysticism is in evidence throughout his work; his use of folklore was directly informed by his exploration of mystical ideas. Hogg is recast as a second Dante, and ‘bogey tales' become catalysts for spiritual awakening. MacDonald's fairy tales deal sensitively and profoundly with the theme of child death, a tragedy that held personal significance for him, and can thus be read as his attempt to come to terms with the reality of bereavement by using Scottish folklore to explain it in mystical terms. Traditional figures such as Thomas Rhymer, visionary poets, and doubles appear in his fairy tales as guides and pilgrims out of the material world toward mystical union with the Divine.

While over the years stakeholders such as publishers and academics have taken a keen interest in research into writing and publishing, they have been less concerned about research into indigenous children‟s literature. In this thesis a comprehensive examination of children‟s literature in the indigenous African languages of South Africa and in Zulu in particular, is presented. Qualitative research methods have been applied, using questionnaires and interviews to gain first-hand knowledge of problems and possible solutions to the dearth of original children‟s literature in the indigenous languages. The data obtained in this regard has proved invaluable to the researcher and, hopefully, will be so to others in the future. Oral folktales narrated before the influence of the missionaries qualify as children‟s literature. The transition from the oral performance of these folktales to the reading of written children‟s texts is discussed in detail. This is achieved by considering the milieu, themes, content, functions and values of this children‟s literature. The discussion of imilolozelo (lullabies) and izilandelo/izidlaliso (game songs) presents the genre of children‟s traditional oral poetry as a form of performance based not only on narrative but also on songs and/or chants interspersed with rhythmical movements to relay their message. Zulu school readers as modern literature for children are also examined by tracing their background and the development of original Zulu children‟s written literature since it was first recorded by the missionaries. Contents and themes of these early readers, dating from the 1800s, are examined and compared with a series of graded readers published in 1962 by C.L.S. Nyembezi. The sixth chapter of the thesis investigates Zulu children‟s picture books as contemporary literature. Various types of picture books and their functions are discussed. Research findings point to an urgent need for the training of African authors in the writing of age-appropriate books in indigenous African languages. Lastly, the study proves that it is feasible to regard traditional oral and modern indigenous texts as children‟s literature. / D. Litt. et Phil. (African Languages)

The dissertation thesis examines czech literary censorship after 1989. It presents a polemical addition to a monograph published one year earlier entitled V obecném zájmu [In the General Interest], which covered the same period. The main methodological resource is represented by the books of a British theatrologist Helen Freshwater, who based her inclusive model of censorship on the border crossing of hard and soft censorship. Moreover, she moved her emphasis on discourse as the main indicator of what is considered a censor´s intervention in a particular historical moment. The core of the thesis consists of four chapters, which on the basis of the original research examine the typical cases of censorship and related discourse. These chapters are included in a broader frame of a changing notion of censorship and political correctness in the discussed period. The chapter devoted to the banned skinhead music group Braník is based on the examination of the respective court´s files and the analysis of the changing notion of freedom of speech in the beginning of the 1990s. The chapter about the censorship of literature for children and youth is based on the comparison of various editions of books written by Bohumil Říha. Furthermore, the conditions are observed, under which the interventions to these new editions were identified as censorship. Censorship on internet is treated in the chapter devoted to the regulation of the virtual (literary) child pornography, while the chapter devoted to political correctness focuses on texts and paratexts of splatterpunk literature. This doctoral work should offer a complex picture of changing ways of censorship and thinking after 1989.

O presente trabalho toma por objeto uma amostra significativa da produção acadêmica sobre a produção literária da escritora, debruçando-se tanto sobre dissertações e teses que analisam a obra infantojuvenil de Marina Colasanti quanto aquelas que se voltam aos textos literários que têm sido endereçados prioritariamente aos leitores adultos, considerando-se que, por vezes, esses dois universos literários se apresentam mesclados. Vinte trabalhos acadêmicos constituem o corpus deste trabalho, tendo sido identificado por meio do Banco de Dados da Capes e da consulta a bibliotecas físicas e virtuais de diversas Universidades. Do ponto de vista metodológico, o corpus recebeu um tratamento homogêneo para a coleta de dados, tendo sido submetido a uma grade (ou “tabela”) composta por 15 diferentes categorias que orientaram o estudo de cada tese ou dissertação. Essa análise sistemática propiciou que, como resultado da pesquisa, se tenha chegado a uma espécie de balanço sobre a fortuna crítica, em que é possível divisar quatro principais tópicos de que se ocupam os estudos críticos sobre a obra de Marina Colasanti, segundo diferentes perspectivas teóricas: o específico feminino; o mito; a linguagem poética; e o amor. / Although Marina Colasanti (1937) is considered by the critics as one of the exponents of Brazilian children and youthful literature, and having her production, in this segment, published since the outset 1980s until this moment, still is very unsystematic the study of literary criticism on the writer's work. This work takes as object a significant sample of academic production about the literary production of the writer, leaning on dissertations and on theses that analyze the Children's and the youthful work of Marina Colasanti, as those that turn to literary texts that have been priority addressed to adult readers, considering that, sometimes, these two literary universes are shown merged. Twenty academic papers constitute the corpus of this work, it has been identified through the database Capes and the query at physical and virtual libraries of various universities. From a methodological point of view, the corpus received a homogeneous treatment for data collection, have been subjected to a grid (or "chart") compose of 15 different categories that guided the study of each thesis or dissertation. That systematic analysis propitiated, as research results, concludes in a kind of balance on the critical fortune, being possible sight four main topics that concern to the critical studies on the work of Marina Colasanti, according to different theoretical perspectives: the female specific; the myth; the poetic language; and the love.

Percebemos que o procedimento paródico está presente no processo de releitura, sendo contemplados nesse gesto alguns dos aspectos dos contos de fadas tradicionais, sendo deixados intactos outros elementos. É da indagação sobre como essas narrativas trabalham a releitura dos contos de fadas que partimos para a investigação que motiva este projeto de pesquisa: como a narrativa Shrek!, de William Steig, e sua adaptação para o cinema, pelos estúdios Dreamworks Animation, procedem à releitura do gênero. A pesquisa contemplará, primeiramente, o estudo do gênero conto de fadas, sua estrutura e seus aspectos semânticos, a partir da leitura da narrativa de Steig, para, então, investigar o diálogo textual que esta obra realiza com o gênero de que faz parte. Posteriormente, a narrativa adaptada para o cinema será objeto da investigação para verificarmos como o gênero conto de fadas é relido por esse suporte a partir dos ingredientes fornecidos pela narrativa de Steig. Levaremos em consideração os aspectos estilísticos do discurso, tanto do original em inglês quanto da tradução para o português, por Eduardo Brandão. Com referência à adaptação cinematográfica, procederemos da mesma forma, mas circunscritos nas cenas que focalizaremos como mais importantes para a análise. Partimos do pressuposto de que a versão para o cinema desse conto amplia o procedimento de releitura, estabelecendo um diálogo mais amplo com o próprio gênero. A seguir, focalizaremos a natureza do personagem Shrek, um ogro, para verificar, o processo de grotescalização pelo qual Steig conduz seu texto. Investigaremos como o grotesco contribui para a releitura do gênero tanto na narrativa escrita quanto na sua adaptação para o cinema... / We have seen from the last two decades of the 20th century, the rereading of the fairy tale genre both in literature aimed at children in cinema in general, and in the animated film in particular. I realize that the parodic procedure is present in the rereading process, being contemplated, in that gesture, some aspects of traditional fairy tales and lefting intacts other elements. It is from the question of how these narratives work to rereading of fairy tales that I begin the investigation that motivates this research project: how the narrative Shrek!, by William Steig, and its film adaptations, by Dreamworks Animation studios, proceed the genre rereading. The research will include, first, the study of the fairy tale genre, its structure and semantic aspects, from reading the narrative of Steig, to, then, investigate the textual dialogue between the work and the genre it belongs. Later, the story made into a film will be the subject of research to investigate how the fairy tale genre is rereaded by the cinema support from the ingredients provided by the narrative of Steig. I will take into account the stylistic aspects of speech, both the original English. With reference to the film adaptation, we will proceed the same way, but limited in scenes that will focus on as most important for analysis. I assume that the film version of the tale expands the rereading procedure, establishing a broader dialogue with the genre itself. I will concentrate on the nature of the Shrek character, built like an ogre, to check, among other things, the process of grotescalização by wich Steig conducts his text. I will investigate how the grotesque contributes to the rereading of the genre both in written narrative and in its film adaptation. I am, thereby, to contribute to studies of fairy tale genre and for literature studies aimed at children and young people
