Da pedagogia do medo á pedagogia do cuidado: nuances nas na literatura infantojuvenil. Uma análise dos contos do irmãos Grimm e o livro "Extraordinário"

Abstract

This study conducts a comparative analysis between the classic tales of the irmãos Grimm and the contemporary novel Extraordinário (2012), by R. J. Palacio, with the aim of investigating the permanences and transformations in children's literature, especially in the representation of conflicts such as otherness, fear, overcoming and maturation. This is a qualitative, bibliographical and exploratory research, based on comparative literature and references from the areas of literature, philosophy and education. The main researchers used in the research were R. J. Palacio, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Zygmunt Bauman, Bruno Bettelheim and Nelly Novaes Coelho, whose works provided theoretical and literary basis for the analysis of human relations, children's narratives and symbolic constructions present in literature. The results indicate that, although both works share a formative function, they diverge in strategies: the Grimm tales use archetypes and the pedagogy of fear, while Extraordinary proposes a pedagogy of care and empathy. It is concluded that children's literature remains essential in ethical and emotional formation, acting as a space for reflection, acceptance and development of ethical coexistence.
