Abstract

This research is part of the emphasis on language and children's narratives. Language, discourse and knowledge research group of the Francisco José de Caldas University, where the objective was to identify the cultural relations of the fears of the children who attend the castle of the arts through their stories. It was developed under a qualitative approach of ethnographic cut, taking field work as a research technique, from there, several instruments were implemented, highlighting the field diary as the main element for the understanding of the phenomenon and compilation of speech samples. It was carried out in five proposed phases, which were: phase 1: choice of field, where the field of work was defined, delimiting the objectives, background collection and consultation of theoretical sources. Phase 2: Neutralization of ethnocentrism and sensitization of estrangement, where information was collected and the diverse reality was understood. Phase 3: Entry to the field and study of the phenomenon, making the recognition of the territory, adoption of the roles and the elaboration of the proposal for the work to be developed in the arts castle with the base population of the research. Phase 4: Work table and field diary, implementing the workshops and recording field diaries. Phase 5: Identification of taxonomic categories, findings and conclusions. This research was developed based on the question: What are the fears faced by the children who attend the Castillo de las Artes in their daily and family environments? As a result, important contributions were found regarding the fears faced by the children, identifying from there taxonomic categories that evidenced in the stories the possibilities of encounter from an anthropological point of view, through the places, situations and institutions that intervened in the recognition of such fears. The exercise exalted the field work and an academic domain that will contribute to the line of epistemological research possibilities, thus deepening the view of children's fears.
