A state for the contemporary children’s poetry: reflections based on PNBE

abstract Government initiatives meant to promote reading, such as the National School Library Program (PNBE - Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola), influence the Brazilian publishing market, determining what book titles are offered to schools that meet the demands of such a policy and, consequently, contribute to the creation of a Brazilian children's and youth literary state. In order to analyze Brazilian children's poetry, this essay uses selected poetic works from the PNBE 2010 collection. Four poems from four different books were analyzed to discuss the poetic composition in Brazilian children's poetry selected by PNBE. The article analyzes the identity of Brazilian children's poetry in contemporary society, considering the government policy, and shows that the poetic texts tend to invite the young reader to substantiate the interactive and, at the same time, contemplative nature of poetry.

摘要：旨在推广阅读的政府扶持举措，例如全国学校图书馆计划（PNBE - Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola），可对巴西出版市场产生深远影响：其不仅决定了符合政策要求的学校可获配的图书选题，更由此助力构建巴西儿童与青少年文学的发展格局。为探析巴西儿童诗歌，本文选取PNBE 2010馆藏中的部分诗歌作品作为研究样本，从四部不同图书中遴选四首诗歌，以此探讨PNBE所遴选的巴西儿童诗歌的创作手法。本文结合政府政策语境，剖析当代社会中巴西儿童诗歌的身份特质，并指出此类诗歌文本往往会引导青年读者切实体悟诗歌兼具互动性与沉思性的本质。
