Timidez e expressividade afetivo-emocional: um estudo walloniano

Abstract

This thesis aimed to understand the relationship between shyness and affective-emotional expressivity; the theoretical foundation used was the theory of Henri Wallon, which defines shyness as being an emotion; it is the fear that one has toward people and is related to the sensitivity to the presence and/or approach of the other. From the biographical and life history method, a study of the (auto)biography of the poet Carlos Drummmond de Andrade was made in primary source and secondary source and, through non-directive and reflexive interviews, was revisited the narrative of Vinícius, one of the participants in the dissertation: "Shyness and exclusion-school inclusion: a study on identity."; two interviews of the masters period were used and a new interview was held for this moment. It was decided to present the data in two moments: in the first one, the life narrative of the participant Vinícius was presented also some (auto)biographical data of the poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade and the use of letters and poems as examples of the facts of life of the poet; in the second one, using the free-docency thesis of Lígia Assumpção do Amaral as a inspiration, the two lives were compared from a semi fiction narrative. The data demonstrate that the shyness is configured as a problem for the participant Vinícius because it is used as justification for the non-confrontation of the world; in this way, there is the fetichization of the personage Vinícius-timid in the familiar, professional and social spheres, taking it to a condition of sameness; for this analysis we used the Ciampa Identity Theory. In contrast, the (auto)biography of Carlos Drummond de Andrade reveals an active person who, even with timidity, positions himself on the events of his time. Finally, it is understood that the writing of poems is one of the forms of affective-emotional communication and expression of the shy person as evidenced in Drummond's (auto)biography
