The experimentation of the affects from the storytelling meetings for institutionalized children: report

Abstract

This study aims to understand the experimentation of affects provided by storytelling meetings for institutionalized children at the Center for Attention to Children and Adolescents-CCA of Cajazeiras - PB. It is in this perspective that we seek, as a researcher, to understand how they experience their childhoods. “Storytelling is an art because it brings meanings when proposing a dialogue between the different dimensions of being” (Busatto, 2003, p. 10). To guide this study, the following question was asked: What affections were experienced by institutionalized children with storytelling? Eminently spinosan concept, affections are the expression of the relationship of each man with others and with the environment. Affection is, therefore, an important mediation capable of revealing much about the constitution of the human. Thus, the study adopts qualitative research - descriptive analytics, with active participant observation by the researcher with the researched subjects.
