Risco e crianças: as representações de risco que as crianças têm sobre as brincadeiras do quotidiano, no bairro da Liberdade, 2020

Abstract

This work focuses on the representations of risk that children have in spaces of to play. Most studies in the field of childhood sociology ignore the fact that some play spaces are a danger to children. However, some studies have these spaces as harmonious and, at the very least, they consider them conflicting. Therefore, it is in this context that our research seeks to highlight the risks that children run in the play spaces, as well as showing that they are aware of these risks. For this, we use the theory of William Corsaro that speaks of the interpretive representation that looks at socialization as a production-reproduction process in which the child does not passively internalizes what is transmitted to her by the adults and, therefore, she ends up reproducing in an interpretive way. We consider that children interpretively reproduce their play spaces, as well as the games they do, which makes it possible to discover situations, acts, attitudes and risky behaviors that occur in their diversions. Regarding the methodology, research is qualitative, using comprehension as a method of procedure. With regard to data collection techniques, we used two techniques, namely: semi-structured interview and direct observation. The results showed that the children were able to identify and describe the games in which they were a part, such as zotho, running, among others. Furthermore, we noticed that children of the opposite sex played together. On the same path, we found that children played between the street and the house, depending on the game. That said, we conclude that children have representations of risks and these representations are acquired from everyday experiences in which they observe various situations such as when they are crippled, or when they see the other partner being crippled; or when their guardians call their attention (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
