A representação da deficiência em livros infantis: séculos XIX e XX

The representation of disability in children's literature: 19th and 20th centuries

Resumos

O presente artigo analisa a representação de personagens deficientes em livros britânicos e norte-americanos do século XIX ao início do século XXI. São analisados tanto os assim chamados clássicos infantis quanto livros fora de edição ou não tão disponíveis. Uma das conclusões é que a representação de personagens deficientes geralmente é mais complexa e variada nos livros mais antigos. Além disso, segundo a visão de muitos autores do século XIX e início do século XX, é necessário aceitar infortúnios como uma forma de obediência a Deus, mas também porque, em última análise, eles são considerados um bem. Portanto, em muitos livros, a deficiência e sua cura, quando ocorre, estão associadas com o caráter.

This article examines the treatment of disabled characters in British and North-American children's classics and in books that are out-of-print or less available to children from the 19th century to early 20th century. One of the main findings of this article is that the treatment of disabled characters is often more complex and varied in the latter than in the former. Moreover, the prevailing view of many 19th century and some early 20th century authors was that one should submit to misfortunes, both as a form of obedience to God's will, and because these seeming misfortunes are ultimately intended for one's own good. Therefore, in many books, disability, where it occurs, and its cure are associated with character.
