Abstract

This work is about juvenile literature, specifically the insertion of a new type of text known as short short story and its general purpose to investigate how short short story is inserted in production for young people, ie, the configuration of its narrative organization (characters, themes, narrator, narrative focus, etc.). From this goal we focus on this text sets - its characteristics - and how the short short stories authors chosen as corpus can be inserted in juvenile literature. The work is divided into three chapters: the first chapter approaches historically and theoretically juvenile literature - its origins and characteristics, the young people whom it is intended and the context of the cultural industry, where it emerges, the second chapter is for short short story theoretical theory and the historical context, and, finally, the third chapter is an analysis of the corpus, from the informations collected in the previous chapters. The selection of the analyzed corpus was done on a survey of juvenile literature short short story authors published , and, among those that emerged, was performed the following were chosen: Adeus conto de fadas (2006), of Leonardo Brasiliense, 60 contos diminutos (2012), of Marilia Pirillo and Uma ilha chamada livro: contos mínimos sobre ler, escrever e contar (2009), of Heloisa Seixas. Therefore, we use as theoretical framework the authors oftale theory, as Julio Cortázar , Massaud Moisés, Edgar Allan Poe, Ricardo Piglia, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, Alfredo Bosi, among others, and authors who dedicated themselves to study the micro-narratives, such as Marcelo Spalding, Hector Miguel Vieira Braga, Lauro Zavala and other Hispanic authors. In addition to these tale and short short story theorists, we also use authors and works that deal with youth literature approach - Ligia Cademartori, João Luis Ceccantini, Jaime Garcia Padrino, etc. - which will deal with Sociology of Youth aspects - Luis Antonio Groppo - the study of the origin and definition of what is youth - as well as the Cultural Industry - Eric J. Hobsbawm, Antonio Candido, Pierre Bourdieu, Adorno and Horkheimer, among others - and their influence in the creation of this literary field.
