Foi utilizado o instrumento metodológico questionário com perguntas abertas baseado nos pressupostos teóricos do autor Pierre Bourdieu. A pesquisa reconheceu que a reprodução está relacionada com os mecanismos formadores de tais professores, seja no âmbito de seu contato com os contos em sua formação identitária com familiares e escolarização ou tendo haver com a formação profissional. A perspectiva teórica crítica fundamentou a dissertação com o referencial bourdieusiano e suas categorias de análises como campus, habitus, trajetória, reprodução, capitais entre outros. Os Contos de Fadas/Maravilhosos assumidos neste trabalho por uma perspectiva histórico-cultural situa a Literatura Infantil como um artefato cultural passível de mudança ao longo da história e assim sendo como um instrumento reprodutor de ideologias presentes na cultura ocidental.

The methodological tool was a questionnaire with open questions based on the theoretical assumptions of author Pierre Bourdieu. The research acknowledged that the reproduction is related to the training mechanisms of such teachers, either in the context of their contact with the tales in their identity formation with family and schooling or having with the professional training. The critical theoretical perspective grounded the dissertation with the bourdieusiano reference and its categories of analyzes like campus, habitus, trajectory, reproduction, capitals among others. The Fairy Tales / Marvelous in this work from a historical-cultural perspective places Children's Literature as a cultural artifact capable of change throughout history and thus as a reproductive instrument of ideologies present in Western culture. This reproduction is assumed by the author Bourdieu as a social system that tends to ensure the perpetuation of social structures or the relations of order that form social maintenance / Mestre

This comparative project investigates different representations of the sandman between the 19th century and the 20th century. My discussion focuses on Romantic texts, in particular E.T.A. Hoffmann's 1816 literary tale "Der Sandmann." While the traditional scholarship on Hoffmann uses both psychoanalytical and feminist approaches, I show how Friedrich Schlegel's concept of chaos and Jean-François Lyotard's concept of the postmodern sublime help us to understand Hoffmann's complex narrative structure. I argue that in Hoffmann's tale there is no unified sandman figure. However, different storytellers in the tale shape the sandman's various depictions. In a way, the sandman figure becomes a fluid character whose enigma the narrative's structure sustains. Paul Berry's 1991 stop-motion animation "The Sandman" visualizes Hoffmann's narrative. However, the film also reintroduces a unified sandman figure that is characterized by uncanny strangeness. My analyses both of Hoffmann's literary and Berry's cinematographic narrative show that their complex structures allow for ceaseless interpretations. This leads me to conclude that fantastic narratives lend themselves to insightful and critical ponderings.
