Floresta de símbolos: bicho e poesia para crianças e adultos inteligentes

Abstract

This work utilizes aesthetic productions on the framework of Brazilian children's and youth literature and animal representation in the book. The framework is the poetic creation of Manuel Bandeira for a comparison between the works Arca de Noé, by Vinícius de Moraes, and Rimas da floresta, by José Santos. The main point for comparison is the image of the animal and the way of representing it within contemporary poetry. However, expressing different trends and multiple images, these books contain features in common that resemble them, such as fun and diversion, humor, imagination, realism, eco literature aspects, popular culture and colloquial language.
