Entre Joões e Amoras : o livro ilustrado para uma educação literária antirracista.

Abstract

To reflect on social inequality from the point of view of Children's and Young People's Literature (CYL) is to bring to literary language approaches that reduce social barriers, cultivating, at least in the symbolic field, a more egalitarian world. Based on this premise, literature has invested in aesthetic and thematic diversity, activating the elements of narrative and poetic language to meet the model of the Brazilian child, eliminating Eurocentric standards. Based on this assumption, we chose three works as a corpus, namely: Which hairstyle will I go? (2021), written by Kiusam de Oliveira and illustrated by Rodrigo Andrade; João's Rhyme Notebooks (2016) authored by Lázaro Ramos and illustrated by Maurício Negro and Amoras (2018), written by Emicida and illustrated by Aldo Fabrini. As a research question, we ask ourselves: In contemporary children's literature, what are the marks of the representation of the black child in the illustrated book that have aesthetic potential for an anti-racist education? Thus, we set as a general objective to investigate how the representation of the black child in the illustrated book can present aesthetic potential for an anti-racist reading education. Considering the specificities of reflection on the theme, the following specific objectives are launched: (I) - To relate current children's literature as a trigger of racial consciousness, situated in its social contexts; (II) 3 Highlight the contributions of the Black Movement to the current CYL and (III) 3 Identify the conceptual approaches to the illustrated book for an antiracist education. Regarding theoretical and methodological procedures, we rely on the contributions of Almeida (2021); Mbembe (2018) and Silva. S, (2022). On anti-racist identity and education, Munanga (2020); Knight (2001); Cuti (2010); Hall (2015) and Ribeiro (2019). When it comes to the black character in literature, we adopted Lajolo's discussions; Zilberman (2007); Debus (2017); Jovino (2006); Oliveira (2010) and Duarte (2013). Finally, on the object of the illustrated book, Camargo (1995); Silva. T. (2017); Nikolajeva and Scott (2011) and Linden (2011).
