Escuchar a los niños: Percepciones infantiles de la cultura y las etnias en las películas de animación mundiales en Aotearoa Nueva Zelanda

Palabras clave: Mediaciones culturales, Moana de Disney, Fondos de conocimiento, Películas de animación globales, Investigación con niños

Resumen

Este estudio pretende analizar las opiniones e ideas de los niños sobre las representaciones de las culturas en las películas de animación mundiales. La idea principal de este artículo es dar voz a los niños que consumen esos textos mediáticos. Este artículo destacará las respuestas de los niños a las encuestas en línea y a las entrevistas individuales de la segunda parte de la recopilación de datos que tuvo lugar en Aotearoa Nueva Zelanda durante tres años. Como marco teórico, se utilizan conceptos y teorías como los fondos de conocimiento (González, 2005), la mediación cultural (Martín-Barbero, 2006) y el multiculturalismo (Zalipour & Athique, 2016) para apoyar el paisaje social y cultural en el que vivían los participantes en la investigación durante la recogida de datos. Las entrevistas con los niños tenían como objetivo discutir dieciséis películas de Disney y Pixar y sus respectivos veinticuatro personajes principales. El objetivo de la conversación era comprender de dónde creen los niños que pueden haber salido los personajes de las películas y, por lo tanto, entender a qué trasfondo cultural creen los niños que pertenecen esos personajes. Según los resultados de la investigación, algunos factores pueden contribuir a que los niños comprendan las representaciones de la cultura en los medios de comunicación, como las escuelas a las que asisten y las actividades que desarrollan en esos entornos educativos.
