Temas sociais na literatura infantojuvenil brasileira: impactos das obras na formação crítica e social dos jovens leitores

Abstract

This work, entitled "The Presence of Social Themes in Brazilian Children's Literature", explores the educational and social impact of children's and young adult narratives, analyzing the language, characters and historical contexts of these works, whose themes are focused on social issues that are often part of the lives of young readers. Thus, the research has the general objective of analyzing how social themes such as inequality and diversity are treated in Brazilian children's and young adult literature. To achieve this, the research identified the main works and authors that deal with these subjects, examined how these issues appear in the narratives and evaluated how they can influence young adult readers. The theoretical contribution of this work was formed by authors such as Santos (2021), Rodrigues (2013), Menezes and Silva (2021), Valente (2018), among others who discuss children's and young adult literature in education, the themes addressed and the relevance of this reading in teaching and training. The methodology used was bibliographic, qualitative and exploratory. The main results highlight that works such as " Pretty Little Girl with the Ribbon Bow", by Ana Maria Machado, and "Coal Miners", by Roger Mello, address social issues in a sensitive and reflective manner, promoting empathy and critical thinking.
