Dos contos de fadas ao audiovisual infantil: relações entre a infância e a fase adulta

Abstract

The concept of childhood only began to emerge during the Renaissance period, where children began to be seen as innocent and pure beings, however, centuries before this was not the case. Children were seen as “mini adults”. Children were part of the same work routines as adults and participated in the same traditions, such as the storytelling of the time, where children and adults would gather and listen to stories as entertainment. Oral traditions underwent changes with the emergence of the concept of childhood, with fairy tales emerging through the writings of author Charles Perrault, after fairy tales emerged, illustrated books were created and later animations emerged, where Walt Disney adapted the tales of fairies in your animations. Fairy tales and cartoons were part of the childhood of many generations, they carry emotion and feelings, especially nostalgia. Therefore, this research aims to present and understand the relationship between children's stories, especially children's audiovisuals, through animations, and the impact of these narratives on adult audiences. The specific objectives of this monograph are: the historical investigation of the vision regarding childhood and its sociocultural aspects; the emergence of fairy tale narratives, which are popularly known as “children's stories” and the relationship of the adult public and the role of memory and nostalgia with children's audiovisuals. This research has the character of exploratory research as a scientific method, in addition to having a qualitative approach, where a bibliographic survey and field research were carried out, with the questionnaire with participants as a research instrument. It exposes as a result of the research analysis, that children's narratives, whether through books or audiovisual, have a high impact on the lives of the adult public, as they function as a therapeutic tool, in addition to being a way of connecting adults with the past, since the preservation of the childish being in every adult person is healthy.
