Resumo
Throughout human history, the theme of memory has been studied and discussed in
different areas of knowledge, for various cultural and sociopolitical factors, beyond the
apparent human need to preserve the past and specific stories of each nation. The fear of
individual or collective forgetfullness makes the man look for in history and in personal
and social memories the knowledge of himself. It is not different in literature, which,
since Antiquity, has valued the memory because it permeates human imagination, and
perpetuates the stories of the world, collaborating with the languages processes of
narratives constructions. This paper starts with the question of how the images of the
memory and forgetfulness are embedded in juvenile literature. The objective is,
therefore, to find and investigate the images and traces of memory and forgetfulness in
some compositions of juvenile literature, between different aspects of knowledge. It
also seeks to valorize the juvenile literature as literature for all, highlighting the symbols
which permeates the juvenile imaginary and universe, in order to enrich the literary
criticism and the development of this kind of literature in the world. The compositions
analyzed are Corda bamba, by Lygia Bojunga Nunes; Bisa Bia, bisa Bel, by Ana Maria
Machado; Memórias da escuridão, by Sueli de Regino; Tão Longe... tão perto, by
Silvana de Menezes. The first two comprise memory and forgetfulness as inherent in
the process of identity construction and self-awareness and the last two rescue memory
in a social context, highlighting the historical and social issues. However, this division
is not rigid, since the narratives of the first group also deal with social issues.The use
and study of symbols in all the compositions and the figure of the labyrinth as a rite of
initiation and pursuit of memory, contribute to the understanding and analysis of the
topic in question. Among the theorists studied are Santo Agostinho (1980), Henri
Bergson (2011), Mircea Eliade (2011), Maurice Halbwachs (2006) and Ecléa Bosi
(1994).
