SUMMARY:

This study aims to explore the presence of death in the narratives of third-grade students enrolled in an elementary school (Ensino Fundamental I) located in Recife, Pernambuco. It also investigates whether children's literature can contribute to creating spaces for dialogue about death in the school context. To this end, literary reading mediation circles will be held, followed by active listening to the children. It will also be analyzed whether the National Common Core Curriculum (Base Nacional Comum Curricular - BNCC) includes this theme in its guidelines. The theoretical basis of the study is supported by the contributions of Kovács (2020), regarding the need for education about death; Urie Bronfenbrenner (1979), based on the bioecological theory of development with an emphasis on early childhood; Antonio Candido (1988), with his conception of literature as art; Nicolescu (1999), bringing the use of literature from a transdisciplinary perspective in school; among other authors. This is a qualitative research study, according to the approach proposed by Minayo (2001). Conversation will be used as a methodological approach, as suggested by Ribeiro, Souza, and Sampaio (2018), due to its strength in accessing the experiences and meanings constructed by children. Data analysis will be guided by a narrative analysis perspective, based on Bastos and Biar (2015). This approach may help us to understand the subjective constructions that children develop about death and how they cognitively and emotionally relate to this topic. Thus, at the end of this research, it will be possible to ascertain the extent to which children's literature might be a significant tool for listening to and welcoming children in their processes of loss and the suffering caused by it. Furthermore, it may contribute to the proposal of developing action plans in a wider variety of spaces, especially in education, with this perspective of care.
