Que corpo é esse? Pedagogias de uma série de vídeos na prevenção e combate às violências sexuais na infância

Abstract

In contemporary society, the understanding of education is constantly evolving, which allows us to closely examine cultural artifacts and their pedagogical approaches. This research focused on analyzing the video series entitled 'What body is this?', which addresses issues related to sexual violence against children in Brazil. The desire to research this topic arises with the purpose of assisting in prevention and/or providing subsidies that contribute to addressing child sexual violence. For this, as a methodology, the netnographic perspective developed by Kozinets (1997) was employed to examine the role of the video series in sexuality education and its contribution to the prevention and combat of sexual violence. The video series was launched between 2018 and 2021 as part of the 'Growing Up Without Violence' project, a partnership between Childhood Brazil and UNICEF, aiming to disseminate information to address violence against children and adolescents. The animation tells the story of the Vila César family, a typical Brazilian family, addressing issues related to the body and sexual experiences in different phases of everyday life. Through the selection of specific episodes that address key terms such as 'sexual violence', 'sexual abuse', 'prevention', and 'education', it was concluded that the series uses accessible language and explores everyday situations to educate the audience, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and guidance to teach children and adolescents to know their bodies and protect them selves against violence.
