Abstract

FERNANDES, Maria Lidia Bueno. The concept of Experience and creative reworking for children in a Quilombola community. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.213-226. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.16112.

This article presents reflections on childhood in the community of Vão de Almas, Quilombo Kalunga territory, Municipality of Cavalcante, state of Goiás, Brazil. It describes the local children and their daily participation in work-related activities in this selfsustainable economy. This article is based on cultural historical activity theory and describes the concept of Experience (perejivanie in the Quilombola language), as well as the concept of Creative Reworking (tvortcheskaia pererabotka), which is based on the person-environment unit theory developed by Vygotsky. This is a qualitative study conducted with children but not about children, and aims to identify the knowledge gained by children in this specific community through their interaction with the environment. As a partial result, a strong link between territory and culture is fundamental in configuring the children’s identities.

Keywords : infância; cultura; saber; território (Thesaurus de Ciências Sociais da Unesco).
