Resumo
O cenário de envelhecimento populacional e a complexidade das mudanças socioeconômicas, tecnológicas e culturais desafiam a educação brasileira à leitura de um mundo “grávido” de um novo fenômeno: a diversidade dos modos de viver a velhice. As crianças precisam ler o mundo que envelhece, ao mesmo tempo em que passam por experiências intergeracionais nas suas comunidades, para evitar a discriminação etária (ageism). O foco temático é a literatura infantil. Os objetivos desse estudo são: levantar obras de literatura infantil, disponíveis em língua portuguesa, que tragam personagens idosos; analisar o que seus discursos expressam; e pensar uma geroalfabetização. As questões de pesquisa foram: Quais discursos aparecem na literatura infantil que traz personagens idosos? A literatura infantil guarda em si as potencialidades para a construção de outros discursos sobre a velhice? Como a linguagem literária pode ser um instrumento educativo para uma geroalfabetização? O método previu uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Os resultados revelaram que a expressão artística literária cria palavras, frases e orações, se organizando em textos veiculadores de discursos que, nem sempre, revelam a diversidade da identidade etária numa única obra. Conclui-se que partilhar diferentes obras que trazem personagens idosos na literatura infantil, como instrumento educativo, pode potencializar, nas crianças, a construção de novas concepções de velhice, visto que é pelas linguagens que expressamos pensamentos e sentimentos.
The current circumstances of an aging population and the complexity of socioeconomic, technological, and cultural shifts, stimulate the need for the Brazilian education system to read a world impregnated with a new phenomenon: the diversity of ways of living at the old age. Children need to read this aging world whilst participating in intergenerational experiences within their communities in order to avoid ageism. Subsequently, the thematic focus of this study is children’s literature. Our methodology foresees a bibliographical research incorporating the following goals: the sampling of works found under the banner of children’s literature, which include elderly characters and are available in Portuguese; the establishment of correlations between publishers, where they are located, and the number of books they published, between the works and their year of publication, and also between gender, ethnicity, and the usage of specific adjectives and verb tenses; and the envisagement of a geroliteracy. The questions posed by our research were as follow: Which titles of the investigated works incorporate elderly characters? Does children’s literature hold within itself the potential for constructing knowledge about old age? How can literary language be an educational tool for geroliteracy? The results revealed that the literary artistic expression is presented through theme-conveying titles that not always unveil the age diversity in a single work. It can be concluded that sharing different works that bring elderly characters in children’s literature, as an educational tool, can enhance, in children, the construction of new concepts of old age, since it is through language that thoughts and feelings are expressed
