Seis Lucas: faces da família em Bojunga.

Abstract

The family, the most primitive of social institutions, has different settings, values and conflicts, which by its dynamicity are in constant transformation. In this sense, considering that such stress states transpose for the literature, and children's literature increasingly moves away from its purely utilitarian and pedagogical characters, presenting complex children characters aligned to be a child in today's world, we aim with this work to analyze the family in the book Six times Lucas (1995), from Lygia Bojunga Nunes, through different perspectives of the child protagonist. To this end, we undertook a survey of literature and nature interpretive grounded in Sandroni (1987), Lajolo and Zilberman (1987), Ando (2006), Maciel (2007) and Sosa (1978), to weave initial considerations about children's literature and the author on the study. We also use Silva (2013), Aries (1981), Zilberman (2003), Pires and Gomboeff (2012) and Silva (2010), envisioning to present the sociocultural constructions from the subject in question, in addition to exposing the families represented in Bojunga’s books. Finally, Todorov (2006), Barthes (2009), D'Onofrio (1995), Brait (1993), Moisés (2007) and Chevalier and Gheerbrant (1996), guided us by the analysis itself, this was performed according to six representations/perspectives of the character Lucas, namely, The fearful and introspective Lucas, The passionate and admirer Lucas and The restless and inquisitive Lucas. As main results, we identified that from the linguistic and narrative resources bojunguianos (term to refer from the author), the symbolism of colors and names, the characterization of environments, the deconstruction of the plot and the posture of involvement of the narrator, Lucas is a complex character, with different facets , being in the center of fictionalized domestic conflicts. In this bias, we conducted a reading of the child character guided by autonomy in a context of breakdown in the traditional family.
