Entre palavras, laços e redes: uma leitura de polêmicas e censuras à literatura infantil no Brasil contemporâneo, suscitadas a partir das redes sociais

Abstract

It is related to a comprehensive study of the contemporary controversies (during the simultaneous and subsequent period of the Judicial-Mediatic-Parliamentary strike of 2016, in Brazil) involving Infantile literature; the outline focuses particularly in controversies emerging and/or fed by social media whose targets were the following fiction titles O menino que esplavapra dentro, from Ana Maria Machado, and "A triste história de Eredegalda", recount from José Mauro Brant. Therefore, the main question to be answered is: "what is the underlying logic to the contemporary phenomena of repeatedly attacking in social media, aiming censorship and banning fictional production for childhood, presented as a care and protection cover for children?" Controversies involving some literary works from the research's outline are inquired mainly from a theoretic-methodological psychanalytic reference (coming from Françoise Dotto and Sigmund Freud's works), in correlation with studies about the circulation of speeches (paying particular attention to banishing and censorship contemporary phenomena in social media (coming from Deonísio da Silca, Eni Orlandi, as well as Ana Maria Machado). There are also aligned notions pertaining to the literary field (particularly focused on issues of literary reading and the formation of the literary reader) drawn from authors such as Ana Maria Machado, Antonio Candido, Maria Amelia Dalvi, Marisa Lajolo and Regina Zilberman. The study's condusions point out that attacks on literary works in contemporary times reach childhood, as adults who interdict or want to interdict the literary do not consider that, if there is suffering, it should be heard; they do not consider that literary reading requires reflection and also requires, on the part of the adult, contact with the child he once was. Under censorship and silencing, there is a loss of fruitful and important debates on the themes that are inherent to the human there is, therefore, emptiness, rupture, devastation of the symbolic and significant slips, metaphors, playfulness and subjective affective food are lacking. From the point of view of the phenomenon of social networks, the conclusions indicate that social ties become entangled in rapidity, and the subjects, moved by the consumption experience and the number of available objects, are easily captured by the logic of the networks and the information they provide: the comments appear in a flurry. with little reflective and very repetitive terms for this very reason, they ask for the interdiction of reading literary works considered unsuitable for childhood - but end up indicating, by default, that these works disturbed worldviews who intended to silence fundamental questions for humanity in us: the fact that controversies exist is a testament to the fact that they touched on topics "forgotten" by society, but which nevertheless do not disappear.
