Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

Os contos de fada, transmitidos de pais a filhos, pela voz, foram se constituindo num patrimônio precioso de cultura, veiculando experiência humana - e podendo significar para a criança um momento inaugural de "organização da experiência" que a literatura propicia. A proposta, aqui, é um estudo comparativo dos contos Chapeuzinho Vermelho, de Perrault, Fita Verde no Cabelo, de Guimarães Rosa, e Chapeuzinho Amarelo, de Chico Buarque, levando-se em conta que os autores brasileiros estabelecem um inevitável diálogo com o texto-matriz do século XVII. Com efeito, embora as três narrativas enfoquem a questão do crescimento da criança, são apontadas as visões diferentes que elas veiculam: 1. abordagem moralizante e pedagógica do conto de Perrault (os perigos da desobediência infantil, a questão da iniciação sexual); 2. viés metafísico do conto de Guimarães Rosa (confronto com a finitude e a morte, passagem do plano psicológico ao plano metafísico); 3. enfoque da eficácia simbólica da poesia, no conto de Chico Buarque (vitória sobre o medo infantil, mediante o poder da palavra). E tudo levando em conta o que diz Goethe, em sua Teoria das cores: "Quando o artista se deixa levar pelo sentimento, algo de colorido se anuncia".<br>Fairytales, orally passed down from parents to children, have become a precious cultural asset over time, conveying human experience and perhaps even representing an inaugural moment of "organizing experience" for children, a possibility offered by literature. Our proposal here is to carry out a comparative study of the tales Little Red Riding Hood by Perrault, Fita Verde no Cabelo [Green Ribbon in her Hair] by Guimarães Rosa and Chapeuzinho Amarelo [Little Yellow Riding Hood] by Chico Buarque, considering that both Brazilian authors have established an inevitable dialogue with the source text, which dates from the 17th century. Indeed, though all three narratives focus on the issue of child growth, the different views conveyed by each of them will be pointed out: 1. the moralizing and pedagogical approach of Perrault's tale (the dangers of child disobedience, the issue of sexual initiation); 2. the metaphysical bias of Guimarães Rosa's tale (confrontation with finitude and death, going from the psychological to the metaphysical plane); and 3. the focus on the symbolic efficiency of poetry of Chico Buarque's tale (victory over childhood fears through the power of words). All of this is done taking Goethe's statement in his Theory of colors into account: "When the artist gives over to his feeling, it immediately gives rise to a colored object".
