Estudos mostram que a linguagem ocupa importante lugar no seu desenvolvimento; definindo-se “linguagem da mente” como o uso explícito de termos semânticos para referir-se aos estados mentais. Pesquisadores da área enfatizam que o uso de termos denotando estados mentais pode refletir um entendimento infantil acerca da mente e, além disso, os livros de histórias infantis, principalmente os que contêm apenas imagens, constituem um recurso útil para explorar e favorecer a linguagem referente a estados mentais. Este estudo objetivou investigar a ocorrência de termos mentais na leitura de crianças de 5 e 6 anos, de duas escolas de educação infantil (rede pública), mediante a utilização de três livros de histórias infantis com diferentes perfis de narrativa por imagem, classificados em função da estrutura narrativa, número de páginas e figuras: Truks (Editora Ática) – perfil simples de narrativa –; O Amigo da Bruxinha (Editora Moderna) – perfil intermediário de narrativa –; A Bruxinha e o Godofredo (Editora Global) – perfil de narrativa mais complexo – . Oitenta crianças realizaram, individualmente, a leitura dos livros; os relatos foram gravados, transcritos e codificados em quatro categorias de termos mentais: termos cognitivos, emocionais, desejo/intenção e perceptivos. Os resultados indicaram que as crianças, de ambas as idades, utilizaram termos referentes a estados mentais na leitura por imagem. Não foi observada diferença significante entre o total de termos evocados pelas crianças de 5 e 6 anos, entretanto, os resultados foram diferentes entre as duas escolas. Também ocorreu diferença entre o total de termos mentais evocados pelas crianças utilizando os diferentes livros, sendo maior na leitura do livro mais complexo e menor na leitura do livro com estrutura de narrativa mais simples. Não houve diferença significante entre o livro intermediário e o mais complexo. Em relação à ocorrência de termos por categorias de estados mentais (cognitivos, emocionais, desejo/intenção e perceptivos), não foi observado um perfil único, variando de acordo com a idade e escola. Os dados sugerem que, tanto o perfil da narrativa dos livros quanto fatores relacionados a experiências individuais e culturais (como linguagem cotidiana, experiências escolares, interações sociais) pode ter influenciado quantitativa e qualitativamente a diversidade referente à atribuição de termos mentais. / Theory of mind deals with mental states (desires, emotions and beliefs) and plays an important role in child social adaptation. Studies have shown that language can be very important in its development, and the expression “mental language” refers to the explicit use of semantic terms related to mental states. Researchers in this area emphasize that the use of terms to denote mental states can reflect infant understanding of mind, and that children´s storybooks, specially those that are only comprised of images, constitute a useful resource to explore and facilitate language related to mental states. This study has the purpose of investigating the occurrence of mental terms in 5-6 year-old children´s reading, in two public kindergarten schools, through the use of three children´s storybooks that have different profiles in terms of image narrative, that were classified considering its narrative structure, number of pages and pictures: Truks (Editora Ática) – simple narrative profile –, O Amigo da Bruxinha (Editora Moderna) – intermediate narrative profile –, A Bruxinha e o Godofredo (Editora Global) – a more complex narrative profile. The books were individually read by 80 children; reports were recorded, transcribed and coded into four categories of mental terms: cognitive, emotional, desire/intention and perceptive. Results show that children of both ages used terms related to mental states in image reading. Though no significant difference was observed among 5 and 6-year-olds in terms of the total of terms evoked, differences were perceptible between the two schools. Another difference was related to the total of mental terms evoked and associated with the three different books, with the biggest total corresponding to the most complex book and the smallest one being related to the book that presented a simpler narrative. There was no significant difference between the intermediate and the more complex book. As for the occurrence of terms specified by categories of mental states (cognitive, emotional, desire/intention and perceptive), it was not possible to detect a unique profile, for variations occurred according to age and school. The data suggest that not only the books´ narrative profile but also factors related to individual and cultural experiences (such as quotidian language, school experiences, and social interactions) could have both quantitatively and qualitatively influenced the diversity related to the attribution of mental states.

Contudo, a respeito da circulação dessas obras no século XXI, percebemos a existência de poucos estudos, estando a temática dispersa em diferentes espaços de buscas e de pesquisas, o que traz dificuldades aos pesquisadores da área quando se trata da identificação dos autores portugueses no campo da produção lusófona. Nesse sentido, nessa dissertação pretendemos contribuir tanto para o dimensionamento e entendimento deste campo de pesquisa em sua historicidade, quanto para o alargamento da compreensão e das relações entre literatura infantojuvenil e o mercado em que ela está inserida. A interrogação dos dados, confrontados com outras informações levantadas nesta pesquisa, permitiu-nos apontar para alguns fatores que, ao que parece, vêm acarretando uma mudança no cenário desta produção, fomentando sua circulação e consolidando a presença desta literatura no mercado brasileiro, nos últimos anos. Neste trabalho, inventariamos e investigamos as obras infantojuvenis portuguesas à venda em uma grande livraria brasileira, no período de agosto de 2010 a dezembro de 2011. Examinamos a relação entre a quantidade de títulos disponíveis, bem como as editoras (brasileiras e portuguesas) que as publicam, considerando as conexões entre as coleções, os escritores, os ilustradores e a data de publicação/impressão das obras. Buscamos, ainda, conhecer e perceber as preferências, continuidades e descontinuidades do percurso produtivo desta literatura, mediada por questões educacionais, mercadológicas, comemorativas e de fomento do setor. Procuramos, também, percorrer algumas das mais relevantes projeções dos livros infantojuvenis portugueses na mídia brasileira. Foram localizados 128 livros de escritores/ilustradores portugueses disponíveis para venda, todos voltados para o público infantil e/ou juvenil e publicados por 26 editoras. 61 destas obras foram publicadas no Brasil por 17 editoras brasileiras, enquanto que 67 foram importadas, tendo sido publicadas/impressas por 9 editoras portuguesas. As obras foram escritas por 52 autores/coautores, dos quais 46 são portugueses; dos 63 ilustradores, 25 são portugueses. A perspectiva teórico-metodológica é constituída por estudos da História Cultural (Chartier, 1999 e 1996); pelas pesquisas do estado da arte (Ferreira, 1999) e pelos estudos de pesquisadores da Literatura infantil portuguesa, principalmente Barreto (2002, 1998), Rocha (2001) e Ferreira (2008). / Abstract: In Brazil there are several researches on Portuguese works devoted to children. These works were widely diffused during the 19th century and in the early decades of the 20th century. But there are few studies about the diffusion of Portuguese children's Literature in the 21st century. This subject is spread in different places to look for them or to study them. This fact can cause some trouble to researchers in this area of knowledge when they want to identify Portuguese authors in the area of Portuguese speakers output. In such case, this dissertation intends to contribute not only to survey and to understand this area of investigation within its history but it also aims to enlarge the conception and the relation between children's Literature and the market where it is published. When we discuss data and compare them with other information that was concluded by this research, it is possible to point out some factors that are changing the scenery of children's Literature output. This fact has recently stimulated its diffusion and has solidified the presence of this Literature in Brazilian market. In this research we registered and investigated Portuguese books for children and youths that were available in a great Brazilian bookstore from August 2010 to December 2011. We observed the relation between the amount of available titles as well as Brazilian and Portuguese publishing companies where the books were printed and we observed the relations between the books, the authors, the illustrators and the period when the books were printed. We also tried to know and to realize the preferences, the duration or interruption of the productive trajectory of this Literature which is mediated by questions related to education, market, celebrations and stimulation of the sector. We also tried to exam some of the most important Portuguese books outputs for children and youths in Brazilian media. We localized one hundred and twenty-eight available books written or drawn by Portuguese writers or illustrators. All these books are dedicated to children and youths. The books were published by twenty-six publishing companies. Sixty-one books were published in Brazil by seventeen Brazilian publishing companies. Sixty-seven books were imported and they were published by nine Portuguese publishing companies. The books were written by fifty-two authors or co-authors. Forty-six authors are Portuguese. Among sixty-three illustrators we have twenty-five Portuguese artists. The theoretical and methodological perspective is based on studies of Cultural History (Chartier, 1999, 1996), on the researches on the State of Art (Ferreira, 1999) and researchers into Portuguese Children's Literature especially Barreto (2002, 1998), Rocha (2011) and Ferreira (2008). / Mestrado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestra em Educação

Notre travail consiste à étudier les contraintes qui influent sur les prises de décisions du traducteur en phase de reformulation. Appliquée au domaine de la littérature de jeunesse, la traduction est envisagée comme un acte de communication qui n’est pas que linguistique : elle est également conditionnée par des éléments extralinguistiques qui participent des influences réciproques entre la communication et la culture dans laquelle elle se produit. La littérature traduite pour ce public se présente comme un sous-système dépendant du cadre littéraire général de la société d’accueil. Elle est, de ce fait, soumise aux conditions et contraintes de production et diffusion du système littéraire pour jeune public. L’analyse des récits destinés au jeune public permet en effet de mettre en exergue les valeurs à la fois culturelles et morales que chaque société cherche à inculquer à son jeune lectorat. Qui veut saisir les procédés méthodologiques et les visées de l’entreprise traduisante dans ce domaine, se voit contraint par la nature même de l’objet, à envisager une étude de la dynamique de la littérature et de la traduction pour enfants dans le contexte d’accueil. Dans le monde arabe, des facteurs tels les parents, les éditeurs, la spécificité de l’ancrage spatioculturel, les auteurs, les traducteurs mais aussi les illustrateurs sont autant de contraintes qui jouent un rôle majeur dans ce qui est produit pour ce jeune public. D’un point de vue traductologique, ces contraintes constituent des « normes sociales » qui délimitent le cadre opérationnel dans lequel viendra s’inscrire toute opération traduisante pour le jeune public. Le concept de ‘norme sociale’ comme l’entend Toury, est central dans toute communication, parce qu’il permet d’identifier les rapports entre la société et sa production littéraire et traduisante. Pendant le processus de traduction, ces normes sont converties en contraintes traductologiques qui peuvent être d’ordre culturel, politique ou idéologique, en ce sens où elles gouvernent les prises de décisions et influent sur la tâche du traducteur au stade de la reformulation. Quels sont les éléments observables qui nous permettent de cerner ces contraintes, et quel rapport entretiennent-elles entre elles et sur le processus de traduction en général et dans la reformulation en particulier ? Surtout, quel est la démarche traductologique qui permettrait d’optimiser les résultats compte tenu de ces contraintes ? Telles sont les questions finales auxquelles ce travail tente d’apporter quelques réponses. / Our work consists in studying the constraints that affect translator’s decisions in the phase of reformulation. Applied to the field of children’s literature, translation is viewed as an act of communication which is not only linguistic: it is also conditioned by extralinguistic elements that involve reciprocal influences between communication and local culture. The literature translated for this audience is presented as a sub-system part of the general literary host society. It is, therefore, subject to conditions and constraints of production and dissemination of literary system for young lectors. The analysis for the young lectors makes it possible to highlight the values of both culture and morality that every society seeks to instill in its young readers. Whoever wants to seize the methodological procedures and purposes of the translating process in this area is constrained by the nature of the subject, to consider a study of the dynamics of literature and translation for children in the host context. In the Arab world, factors such as parents, publishers, spatiocultural specificities, authors, translators and also illustrators play a major role in what is written for young audiences. From a standpoint of translation studies, these constraints are considered as "norms" that define the operational framework that govern any translation for young lectors. The concept of ’social norm’ as defined by Toury, is central to all communication, because it identifies the relationship between a society and its literary and translation process. During the translation process, these norms are converted into translational constraints that may be cultural, political or ideological in the sense that they govern the decision and the influence of the translator during the phase of reformulation. What are the observable elements that allow us to identify these constraints and how do they interact to each other and with the translation process in general and in particular with the reformulation? Above all, what is the translation approach that would maximize results in light of these constraints? These are the final questions to which this work attempts to provide some answers.

Hösten 2016 genomförde vi en studie i en svensk grundskola i en årskurs 2 med syfte att kartlägga några elevers inställning till att lära sig det engelska språket och hur den inställningen påverkades av högläsning av engelsk barnlitteratur. Syftet var också att kartlägga om högläsning påverkade elevernas passiva ordförråd samt om eleverna använde någon form av språklig strategi vid mötet av okända ord under högläsningen.    De datainsamlingsmetoder som användes i studien var 71 strukturerade elevintervjuer, enkla observationer av tre undervisningstillfällen med högläsning av en ny engelskspråkig skönlitterär text vid varje och ett ordtest som genomfördes före och efter de tre undervisningstillfällena.   Studiens resultat antyder att högläsning av engelsk barnlitteratur inte har påverkat elevernas inställning till att lära sig engelska markant, men att eleverna var positiva till högläsning i engelskundervisningen. Resultatet visar även att elevernas passiva ordförråd verkar ha ökat efter de tre undervisningstillfällena, samt att cirka hälften av eleverna kunde rapportera att de använt någon språklig strategi i mötet med de engelska texterna, till exempel att använda bilderna eller likheter med det svenska språket.    Vår slutsats är att högläsning av engelsk barnlitteratur i undervisningen kan bidra till att upprätthålla elevers språkliga nyfikenhet och positiva inställning till att lära sig engelska samt att de utökar sitt passiva ordförråd. En annan slutsats är att alla elever bör ges möjlighet i undervisningen att utveckla förmågan att använda språkliga strategier i enlighet med Skolverket (2011b). / The autumn of 2016, we conducted a study in a Swedish grade 2 class with the aim to identify some pupils´ attitudes to learning the English language and how those attitudes were influenced by the reading aloud of English children´s literature. The aim was also to see whether reading aloud influenced the pupils´ passive vocabulary and whether they used some form of linguistic strategies when encountering unknown words during the listening.    The data collection methods used in the study were 71 structured interviews with the pupils, simple observations of three lessons with reading aloud of English children´s literature and word tests conducted before and after the three lessons.    The study´s results suggest that the reading aloud of English children´s literature did not affect the pupils´ attitudes towards learning English significantly, but that the pupils were positive towards reading aloud during English classes. The results further indicate that the pupils´ passive vocabulary increased after the three lessons, and that about half of them used a linguistic strategy when encountering unknown words during the reading, for example use of pictures and of the similarity to the Swedish language.    A conclusion of this study is that reading aloud of English children´s literature in teaching can help to maintain pupils´ linguistic curiosity and positive attitudes to learning English, as well as expand their passive vocabulary. Another conclusion is that all pupils should be given the opportunity in class to develop the ability to use linguistic strategies according to Skolverket (2011b).

This study investigates the extent to which a story written 100 years ago, full of moral, patriotic, heroic and freedom-influences messages, can be used as a teaching instrument to convey the norms and values needed for active participation in society. Two versions of the classic tale of Peter Pan, an illustrated chapter book Peter Pan and Wendy (2013) and a picture book Peter Pan (2014), were analysed with the focus on the character of Peter Pan. The results show that both books can be used very well as teaching aids because Peter Pan is a complex and multifaceted character. The analysis reveals his positive and negative qualities, which can be discussed in the teaching as a way to communicate norms and values. The study shows useful examples of what this work can look like.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur genus framställs i tio utvalda bilderböcker. Urvalet av de böcker som analyserats, skedde genom att två bibliotek tog fram information kring vilka de mest utlånade bilderböckerna år 2020 var bland barn i åldern 3–6 år, relaterat till de äldre barnen i förskolan. Studien utgörs av en hermeneutisk textanalys ur ett genusperspektiv. Bilderböckerna bearbetades sedan utifrån flera analysfrågor vid flertalet tillfällen för att se hur barnlitteraturen framställer genus utifrån relevant teori och vad tidigare forskning har visat på.  Vår slutsats är att bilderböcker till stora delar skildrar genus utifrån de stereotyper genusteorier pekar på och tidigare forskning visar, antingen i text, bild eller i ikonotexten. Denna slutsats baserar vi på de könsstereotypa karaktärer och miljöer som vi har funnit i de analyserade böckerna. De böcker som har pojkar som huvudrollsinnehavare genererar en berättelse som är snabb och händelserik i jämförelse med när flickor har huvudrollen. Karaktärernas egenskaper förstärker de traditionella könsmönstren oavsett om karaktärerna är djur eller människor. Bilderna i böckerna är de som många gånger förstärker könsstereotyper exempelvis genom färger eller kläder. / The purpose of this study is to analyze how gender is portrayed in picture books. The analyzed data consist of ten picture books. The selection of the ten books were made by two libraries producing information about the most borrowed picture books year 2020 for children in the age of 3-6 years, the older children in preschool. This analysis is carried out through a hermeneutic text analysis from a gender perspective. Our conclusion is that picture books largely depict gender based on the stereotypes that previous research discuss, either in text, image or iconotext. The conclusion is based on the stereotypical characteristics of the male and female characters as well as on how environments are portrayed in the analyzed books. The books with male protagonists generate a story that is fast and eventful in comparison with narratives with female protagonists. The characters’ characteristics reflect traditional gender patterns regardless of whether the characters are animals or humans. It is often the pictures that reinforce gender stereotypes, for example through colors or clothes.

Children''s literature affects the child''s socialisation process, including the shaping the gender roles. But despite this, up to now children have featured less in gender scholarship. Against this backround, this paper seeks to critically interrogate the physical, social, economic and political manifestations of masculinities in selected Kiswahili children\''s books from Kenya. By analysing these works, we hope to demonstrate that power and ideological aspects of masculinites are rooted at childhood. Since special attention will be paid to the ideological and power basis of the masculinities, the analysis of the selected works is done in the encompassing prism of Critical Discourse Analysis revealing hegemonic masculinities.

[pt] Esta pesquisa investiga quatro narrativas de Clarice Lispector escritas para crianças: O mistério do coelho pensante , A mulher que matou os peixes , Quase de verdade e A vida íntima de Laura , no empenho teórico de formular concepções e cenas de infância implicadas nos dispositivos estético-literários dessas obras. / [en] This research investigates four narratives written by Clarice Lispector for children: The mystery of the thinking bunny, The woman who killed the fish, Almost true and Laura s private life, in the theoretical effort of formulating conceptions and scenes of childhood implied in the aesthetical and literary devices of these works.

In this study, we present the different teaching strategies that participating preschool teachers describe that they use to stimulate and develop children's language through fiction. We will present what factors influence the selection of fiction at the preschool. Furthermore, we describe the preschool teachers' perceptions of how they describe their conditions and knowledge of literature work together with the children. We chose to do a qualitative study where we visited different preschools to interview active preschool teachers based on semi-structured interview questions. When compiling the results, we used a phenomenographic methodological approach to obtain preschool teachers' different perceptions of the language-stimulating work. The most significant thing we were able to get in the result is that all preschool teachers in our study described an awareness of the importance of language-stimulating teaching in preschool. It also emerged that preschool teachers included language-stimulating activities through planned teaching or spontaneously arising situations. We were further able to discern in the results how the preschool teachers in our study used different strategies to stimulate children's language. Reading aloud, book conversations, image creation, dramatization and reflection conversations were some strategies that emerged. As a conclusion, through the interviews we were able to get the preschool teachers' perceptions and what conditions and challenges they experience with the language-developing work in preschool. Something that we have found important from the study is that preschool teachers' knowledge and prerequisites have a significant role in children's language development and where children's language is stimulated and challenged in social contexts. / I den här studien presenterar vi vilka olika undervisningsstrategier medverkande förskollärare beskriver att de använder sig av för att stimulera och utveckla barns språk genom skönlitteratur. Vi kommer att presentera vilka faktorer som påverkar urvalet av skönlitteratur på förskolan. Vidare redogör vi förskollärarnas uppfattningar av hur de beskriver sina förutsättningar och kunskaper kring litteraturarbete tillsammans med barnen. Vi valde att göra en kvalitativ studie där vi besökte olika förskolor för att intervjua verksamma förskollärare utifrån semistrukturerade intervjufrågor. Vid sammanställningen av resultatet utgick vi från en fenomenografisk metodansats för att få fram förskollärares olika uppfattningar om det språkstimulerande arbetet. Det mest betydelsefulla vi kunde vi få fram i resultatet var att samtliga förskollärare i vår studie beskrev en medvetenhet kring vikten av språkstimulerande undervisning i förskolan. Det framkom också att förskollärare inkluderade språkstimulerande aktiviteter genom planerad undervisning eller spontant uppkomna situationer. Vi kunde vidare i resultatet urskilja hur förskollärarna i vår studie använde sig av olika strategier för att stimulera barns språk. Högläsning, boksamtal, bildskapande, dramatisering och reflektionssamtal var några strategier som framkom. Som avslutning kunde vi genom intervjuerna få fram förskollärares uppfattningar och vilka förutsättningar och utmaningar de upplever med det språkutvecklande arbetet i förskolan. Något som vi funnit som viktigt utifrån studien är att förskollärares kunskaper och förutsättningar har en betydande roll för barns språkutveckling och där barns språk stimuleras och utmanas i sociala kontexter.

This thesis investigates and analyzes how Wu Zetian is portrayed in media directed at children. This thesis also plan to investigate how the portrayal of Wu Zetian in children´s media relates to academic literature. The main questions this thesis answered were the following: How is Wu Zetian portrayed in the source material? What qualities are attributed to Wu Zetian? Does the presentation of Wu Zetian in children´s media differ from the academic literature written by historians? If so, how?    The theories that this thesis was based on were the concepts that Bickford III and Rich presented in their study Examining the Representation of Slavery within Children´s Literature. These concepts were presentism, omission, chronological ethnocentrism, exceptionalism, heroification, and villainification. The second theory was gender theory. This theory was used as a theoretical interpretive framework for this thesis. The methods used were text analysis, close reading, and the theoretical concepts formulated by Bickford III and Rich.   The study concluded that Wu Zetian was mainly described in a glorifying light. The main attributes of Wu Zetian are positive, such as intelligence and beauty. The negative qualities attributed to Wu Zetian are that she was brutal. In general, Wu Zetian is presented and described in a positive and heroic light in children´s media. The difference in the presentation of Wu Zetian in children´s media and academic literature is minimal. In general, the children´s media downplays the brutal aspects of Wu´s life, while the academic literature talks about this aspect somewhat more. The main difference is that, children´s media is more glorifying and heroizing than academic literature.
