Algumas aprendizagens construídas durante a brincadeira de pipa: o que está em jogo

Abstract

RESUMO: Como recorte de pesquisa assentada em objeto lúdico tradicional, mapeamos algumas atividades eliciadas pela brincadeira de pipa, focalizando as aprendizagens informais e os brinquedos-ponte como forma privilegiada de transmissão cultural. Potentes em sua capacidade de aglutinação, esses brinquedos encontram traduções singulares para cada brincante, com significativo impacto em sua bagagem vivencial, por colocarem em jogo aprendizagens de corpo inteiro, cotidianas e situadas, emergentes da articulação entre pessoas, objetos e outros elementos que se afetam mutuamente na produção de efeitos. Utilizando a Teoria Ator-Rede como suporte teórico-metodológico, seguimos grupos de brincantes durante as temporadas dos anos de 2005 e 2006 e realizamos entrevistas com pessoas que tiveram a pipa como objeto privilegiado de suas infâncias, tomando os fragmentos desse material para operar misturas entre textos acadêmicos e textos não-acadêmicos.

SOME LEARNING CONSTRUCTED DURING KITE FLYING: WHAT IS AT STAKE ABSTRACT: As part of the research on about a traditional playful object, we tried to register some kinds of learning produced by kite flying, focusing on informal learning, as well as bridge-toys as a privileged transmission. Powerful in its capacity of joining people of different ages together, these toys can represent singular translations for each player with meaningful impact in their life experience once they place full body quotidian learning at stake, emergent from the articulation between people, objects and other elements that affect one another mutually in the production of effects. Using the ActorNetwork Theory as the theoretical methodological support, we followed some playing groups during the 2005 and 2006 flying kite seasons and interviewed people who had kite as a privileged object in their childhood. This material's fragment was mixed with academic and non academic texts.

“…Most of the time there is the participation of other people, allowing the exercise of cooperation and sharing of information, which occurs informally, in a playful and non-imposed way, and gradually consolidates according to the situations, which makes the game even more interesting. 5 There are also individual contributions to the extent that there is the discovery of skills and limitations that can be improved or perfected to overcome a limit: to project oneself in the heights using a toy and keep it under control with distance maneuvers with the line. Moreover, during the game, there is a relationship with the landscape and the wind, which is able to develop in the player the sensibility about the rhythms and cycles of nature.…”

“…From this perspective, the kite produces effects on the personal history of each individual who uses it, not only because of the game itself, but also because of everything that involves it, such as the encounter, the movement, the exchange, the surprise, the dispute, the nature, and the culture. 5 However, it should be noted that the children and/or adolescents who use the cutting line do not have an understanding and dimension about its use as a potential problem, thus, this situation does not present a direct impact on play.…”
