Are we going to play on Earth? an experience of valuing and rescuing children's culture with residents of the community of the Amapaense Amazon

Abstract

The work discusses the play Riverside of the community of Bailique-AP archipelago. Do you investigate how play contributes to the creation of children's culture in this community? It was aimed to analyze the play, the toys and games to understand how these social practices influence the Constitution of the child culture of the context investigated. The study uses as grounds, authors such as Dewey (1976), in the understanding that the child experiences the experience as a learning process, in Brougère (2012) that analyzes the play as cultural phenomenon in a sociological perspective. Another axis of analysis is maintained in the about dialogue of the interpretation of Cultures in Geertz (1989), among others. The methodology was based on the qualitative paradigm, in the use of Oral History. The partial results show that the play of the Earth is present in the community. But that a greater focus is needed in the studies involving the thematic, since the productions are still scarce, especially in the Amapaense Amazon.
