Brincando com papagaio de papel: uma comunidade em busca de lazer

Abstract

This work is the result of a field research carried out in a housing complex in the western zone of Manaus, whose central objective is to know the daily life of children playing paper parrot on weekends in Conjunto Cidadão X, located in the Tarumã neighborhood. At first, we brought the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988, to highlight the right to leisure of people and especially of children, this being a social right for all Brazilian citizens. In the second moment, through the theme "Playing the Kite of Paper - The practice of leisure in the western zone of Manaus", we characterize the children (boys of different ages) who attend the "pipódromo", based on their speeches collected through Interviews. Through the interviews, it was possible to analyze the basic social needs of the residents of the set, as well as their leisure practices.
