Crianças e criações: espacialidades e tecnologias em movimento

Abstract

The research brings to the discussion the spatial experiences of children in their relationship to objects of information technology meaning, aims to understand how children conceive the technology from the relations with increasingly common objects in their lives, as is the case with mobile phones, tablets and video games. The theme is justified, because the children have had ever lived experiences of previous generations and yet there are few studies on the subject, in particular, aimed at children. The work builds on the study of Geography of Childhood in dialogue with the cultural-historical theory, recognizing the relationships of children with the environment, their authorship and children's protagonism. I assume the qualitative research perspective, having methodology ethnography. The study was conducted with children aged 4 and 6 years in a school in the city of Juiz de Fora, in Minas Gerais. The study followed the children in their school contexts, and in speech the main form of dialogue. It was in the the words of children who analyzed the existence of these objects in their daily lives. Either new meeting with the universe of these children allowed me to meet its relations with technology and the world, visions and interpretations of these objects in their daily lives.
