Resumo
It analyzes the short stories “The man who saw death”, “The last day in the life of the blacksmith” and “The young man who did not want to die”, from the works Contos de Enganar a Morte, by Ricardo Azevedo (2003), and “Death and the fugitive”, “Death and the old woman” and “Death and the innkeeper”, from the collectanea Contos de Morte Morrida, by Ernani Ssó (2007). It investigates how death has been conceived in works of contemporary Brazilian children’s and youth literature based on tales from popular culture. The studies of Adichie (2021), Ariès (1989, 1990, 2012), Becker (1991 [1973]), Elias (2001), Franco (2021) Freud (2021 [1915], 2011 [1917]), Han (2020 , 2021) and Schopenhauer (2020) on the theme of death constituted a background to understand how death was being elaborated by human beings, in the transit between the popular and the erudite, until reaching the contemporary moment and its literary elaboration in scope of the works under study. To also make considerations about the literary creation by Ricardo Azevedo and Ernani Ssó, was used the studies of Alcoforado (2008), Cascudo (2012; 2013), Cortázar (2006), Gotlib (1998) and Traça (1998) on the tale; and by Lajolo and Zilberman (2007) and Colomer (2017) on children’s and youth literature. The works of Bergson (1983) and Eagleton (2020) has based the dimension of the analysis concerning humor, recurrent both in popular culture and in children’s and youth literature. It concludes that the stories studied do not deny death or the negative feelings it can produce but symbolize it as a humanized and comical character.
