| dc.description.abstract | This study has as main objective to investigate the leisure experiences in the context
of games, toys and games of riverside children from Ilha do Combu in Belém/PA. For
this, we sought throughout the research to analyze the daily leisure experiences of
children outside the school space, describe the games, toys and games experienced
by children in different public spaces on the Island and reflect, based on leisure
practices, their influences on the playful culture of children. In this context, we will
situate leisure as the main category of analysis in this research, based on its
understanding as a sociocultural phenomenon. As a methodological support, the
observation method recorded in a field diary was used. It has a qualitative approach,
with an exploratory and descriptive character, in which the study, analysis, records and
interpretation of facts were carried out. For data collection, it was planned to prepare
a booklet, which included tasks with questions and photographic images, in the format
of homework, related to the daily activities of games, toys and games for children in
the community. In the analysis, the drawings proposed in the activities and expressed
in the field diary reveal different forms of entertainment, as well as different toys and
games and places to play. In the answers, we can see that although there is a playful
culture very unique to the Island in the children's daily leisure activities, there is also a
certain urbanity in toys such as ball, captain america, teddy bear, among others, often
dictated by the cultural industry, however, we observe resistance , loopholes and
tactics used by some children for their leisure experiences. We conclude that the study
allowed us to know the island's playful culture, its leisure experiences based on its daily
relationship with the river, the forest and the universe of waters in which they are
inserted. In this sense, the Island still maintains typical characteristics and aspects of
riverside populations, as a specific form of social arrangement, history, economy,
religion, recreational practices, as well as the use of knowledge based on experiences
transmitted through its traditions and passed on from generation to generation. | |
