A cultura popular na produção literária infantil de Márcia Evelin

Abstract

This research goal is to analyze the children's literary production of the Piauí writer Márcia Evelin de Carvalho in order to highlight the dialogue with popular culture present in her narratives whose main procedures adopted are adaptation and intertextuality. To do this, we selected three narratives from his collection: O boi do Piauí (2015), Menino do Congo (2022) and O segredo da chita voadora (2017). To accomplish the research, we used the following authors as theoretical support: Walter Benjamin (1987, 2009), Nelly Novaes Coelho (1991), Marisa Lajolo (2007), Regina Zilberman (2005), Teresa Colomer (2017), Peter Burke (2010), Maria Ignez Novais and Marcos Ayala (1995), Sophie Van der Linden (2011), Linda Huchteon (2013), Julia Kristeva (2005) and among others. The research takes a qualitative approach of an exploratory nature, as it promotes reflection based on the questions raised. As a result of this research, we found that the narrative of Márcia Evelin de Carvalho enable children readers to get closer to the universe of Brazilian popular culture through the dialogue between words, images and paratexts. However, they can also significantly help the formation of critical readers by identifying intertextuality and filling in the gaps left by the author in fictional texts.
