Manifestações da cultura infantil na realidade amazônica

Abstract

The present work understands children as the center of a broad discussion about the construction of childhood through playful play, pointing to the need to make time / space available to experience childhood, thus enabling a more acute reflection at the University and, especially in the community, about the place of children and childhood in the municipality of Parintins. Where, the main objective aims to highlight the uses and appropriations of public spaces for children to play. In order to carry out this study, we investigated 02 neighborhoods in the city, 01 located close to the city center and the other one far from the center, the result of irregular occupation, and we use the assumptions of ethnographic research, using interviews with children to collect data and with adults (parents or guardians), developing direct participatory observation, and these data were recorded in a field diary and video recordings, which were made based on the principle of authorship / authorization of the subjects involved. In this way, we identify the most common games in the children's daily lives and relate the main spaces destined (or not) to children's play, highlighting the conditions of use by the child for their games. However, the recognition of children as a subject of subjectivity, necessarily involves the visibility given to them in the face of the society in which they live, that is, the space and the importance that they occupy in the social context, which led us to a broad reflection on the child and childhood in the context of the research. Keywords: Child. Culture. Jokes. Subjectivity.
