Motricitys of the south: telling children´s stories in the hospital context

Abstract

We understand the Motricities of the South as social practices involving parties, dances, songs, games and storytelling that have particularities of a people located in the South, geographical and/or metaphorical, that imply tradition and resistance to the epistemological domination of colonialism. We did a literature review with the aim of understanding storytelling with children in the hospital context. The survey of the productions was done in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), using the keyword “storytelling”. We found 28 results, 20 with the reading of the title, 14 with the reading of the abstracts and selected 10 products with the reading in full. The narration of stories for children in the hospital context dialogic perspective as an emerging motricity contributes to the construction of knowledge about himself, the reality in which he finds himself and the overcoming of adverse health conditions.
