CUNHA, Maria Zilda da. Naus frágeis e novos paradigmas em literatura e educação. Perspectiva [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.03, pp.771-788. ISSN 0102-5473.

The 20th century witnessed a break with the references that anchored the social world. This paradigmatic transition demanded a reconsideration of the issues related to man, society, science and art. The objective of this study is traced from this perspective: to reflect on children’s literature as a phenomenon that is constituted in the dialectical tension between literature and education. We focus on two moments in the history of Western civilization: that of the association of literature to the educational process, and the inscription of the child in society and the contemporary world, a time in which children’s literature reinvigorates the literary interplay, redimensioning processes of educating young readers. The articulations presented here are syntheses of the path of teaching and research conducted at the University of São Paulo in the field of Comparative Studies and Literature for Children and Young People. The research was part of our master’s and doctorate studies on the formation of modern thinking, the dynamic of the construction of concepts that compose educational praxis and the swift transformations that motivate rereadings. These include the problem raised for schools by new readers who conduct reading amid an interflow of virtual networks, with multiple codes, languages and free access to the complexity of social issues. The new generations experience the paradigmatic change intensely, for which reason education cannot remain distant from the questionings that involve these rapid transformations. We use the work of Angela Lago (2006) to indicate how contemporary literature for children and youth creatively reflects the complexity in which we live, constituting a strong ally to education for accessing knowledge of reality and the possibility for adopting a more critical praxis.
