Análise das infâncias negras na afroperspectividade a partir da narrativa do livro" Vida que voa"

Abstract

The general objective of this study is to analyze Black Childhoods from the literary narrative "Life that flies"; The specific objectives are: 1- To analyze the contributions of Afro-Brazilian children's literature in the process of identity construction and power relations; 2-To point to some concepts of Black Childhoods from the theoretical perspective of Nilma Lino Gomes and Marlene de Araújo (2023) and Diego dos Santos Reis (2024) and 3-Analyze the Afro-Brazilian children's literary narrative.For this, the qualitative methodology chosen was the cultural analysis of a children's literary work "Vida que voa" by Lena Martins, from the afro-perspective as a philosophical approach that guides us to the concept of childhood. Studies pointed to the possibility of strengthening Afrocentricity as a perspective in academia, as an epistemic movement that emanated from the Afro-perspectivity of Renato Nogueira, and had an important place of investigation in Afro-Brazilian children's literature, as well as discursive place of decentralization that can also contribute to the construction of black childhoods. What gives us the direction of the research when we question the analysis of black childhoods in the Afroperspective, based on a narrative of Afro-Brazilian children's literature? We found this fabric in Afro-Brazilian literature as a way of strengthening the conceptions of black childhoods and children, as well as in the conceptions that support their use and their meanings.
