TOYS AND GAMES: CHILDHOOD IN THE PARQUE DAS NAÇÕES FAVELA IN BRAZIL

Abstract

When observing the work of Brazilian Sociology and Anthropology, it is apparent that the study of childhood, particularly concerning play and toys, has received little attention. A quick evaluation in this area shows that few existing works appear in the fields of Psychology and Education, the first mostly concerned with the psychology of development and the latter with the question of learning.¹
