Os usos sociais que as crianças fazem das mídias na vida

Abstract

The present work objective investigates the social uses of technology in the lives of children, contemplating and evaluating cultural elements coming mainly from the presence of electronics in the universe from birth. For academic theory it was necessary to bring theoretical discussion that researches and evaluates the conception of the performances and understanding of the definition of childhood and of a child in the contemporary world. I present a writing format that looks for new approaches in the field of research with children, believing that they can be understood. Social actors are capable of symbolic production and production of cultures in his/her own childhood through definitions belonging to his/her universe and the daily in which he/she lives. I also present a research-action methodology with 32 children using the given graphic productions and oral reports that can be understood as analysis documents for validation of this writing. Several of the informative actions by the children through gestures, corporal movements are given like a relevant data in this field research that indicates an appropriation for the children and the meanings attributed by them
