Aproximações entre infâncias, indígenas mulheres e feminismos no filme Tainá (2000)

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze the film – Tainá: uma aventura na Amazônia, directed by Tânia Lamarco e Sérgio Bloch, 2000, which has the first representation of a female child in an active and proactive role in the face of the nuances and outcomes of the plot. The film is analyzed in its sociocultural context and historical moment that brings to light the tensions that appear in this context. Through the theoretical survey, we point out some important narrative transformations that reconfigure Brazilian children's cinema and audiovisual and, in particular, we seek to highlight the important collaboration of feminist guidelines for the advancement of the field of studies related to children and childhood, as well as to the works produced and addressed to children in Brazil.
