Resumo: To examine the ways recent children’s narratives that are in accordance with multicultural perspectives represent the aesthetic category of ugliness in relation to the concept of difference, this article analyzes eight Brazilian children’s books from 2008 to 2010. Based on the field of Cultural Studies as its theoretical foundation, the article presents the medieval aesthetic theory of Thomas Aquinas as an example of a philosophical system that is still capable of acting on the production of subjectivities and identities until the present day. A key finding of this article is that multiculturalism has a strong influence on the ways differences are represented incontemporary children’s books.

Para tanto, são analisados oito livros brasileiros escritos entre2008 e 2010. Tomando como fundamento teórico o vasto campo dos Estudos Culturais, o texto prioriza a apresentação da teoria estética de Tomás de Aquino como exemplo de sistema teórico-conceitual que, embora situado historicamente, continua atuando sobre a produção de identidades e subjetividades até os dias de hoje. Uma das principais conclusões é que o multiculturalismo está atuando fortemente sobre a forma como são representadasas diferenças em livros infantis contemporâneos.FACED - UFRGS2013-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/educacaoerealidade/article/view/38157Educação & Realidade [Education & Reality]; Vol. 38 No. 4 (2013)Educação & Realidade; v. 38 n. 4 (2013)2175-62360100-3143reponame:Educação & Realidadeinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/educacaoerealidade/article/view/38157/46011Kirchof, Edgar RobertoBonin, Iara Tatianainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-12-27T16:57:43Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/38157Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/educacaoerealidadePUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/educacaoerealidade/oai||educreal@ufrgs.br2175-62360100-3143opendoar:2017-12-27T16:57:43Educação & Realidade - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
