SUMMARY:

This research analyzed the presence of the trickster archetype in Brazilian children's literature, as well as some of its manifestations, with the aim of creating an artistic work with a “tricksterian” soul, entitled Escapuliu. The initial step towards this endeavor involved defining and contextualizing the figure of the trickster in the cultural imagination, especially in the Brazilian context, and exploring its reverberations. Two specific trickster figures, Pedro Malasartes and Saci, were selected for further analysis. This study considered the trickster both as a character and as a metaphor, investigating its presence in the material aspects that constitute the book object. Subsequently, the research sought to establish some concepts about childhood and children's literature, and then examine their connections with the trickster archetype itself. Instances of censorship in children's literature were also examined, leading to reflections on the tension between artistic value and utilitarian purposes that permeate works in this field. The theoretical foundation of this research came from the studies of Jung, Radin, Hyde, Queiroz, Simas and Rufino in relation to the trickster archetype; Bachelard, Piorski and Larrosa on childhood; and Andruetto, Cademartori and Hunt on children's literature. Parallel to the dissertation, there was an artistic research, a work of “tricksterian soul” was built, that is, a book that sought to bring to its theme and materiality, elements of the essence of a trickster.
