O lúdico e os (des)caminhos historiográficos da literatura infanto-juvenil no Brasil

Abstract

This text deals with aspects of Brazilian literary historiography as a starting point for a reflection on the place of children's literature in the scope of literary historiography and, later, the relevance of the playful, according to Huizinga (2004), in the aesthetic construction of these texts. Our objective is to address the aesthetic relevance of children's literature through the focus of poems by José Paulo Paes and Jorge de Lima, taken as a corpus of this study.
