Resumo

The main goal of this text is to present the role of sense-making in the process of constructing the notion of the I and of the object in light of interpretations of some folk tales. It is based on concepts taken from Jean Piaget’s psychogenetic perspective concerning the notion of the object and the oneself, constructed at approximately 18 months of age and reconstructed at the representational level; the practical and symbolic sense-making of actions, and the relations between values as aspects of affectivity and the construction of knowledge. It also aims to illustrate the theoretical discussion presenting some data from investigation about children’s interpretation of some folk tales, which research into the choice of characters and their admirable aspects. This might provide empirical indicators about I-related sense-making and value configurations in their relations with intellectual structuring in psychological development.
