O ensino de literatura no ensino médio: uma abordagem reflexiva entre teoria e prática

Abstract

This work intends to reflect on the teaching of literature in high school from theoretical allusions about the importance of the literary text for the formation of the critical reader, during the process of literacy of literature. In line with this collaborative perspective, this study also focuses on the experience report of the project “Literarte: Literatura na Escola”, which is part of the activities promoted by the Institutional Scholarship Program for Teaching Initiation (PIBID), which aimed to enable the study of Portuguese troubadours literature with readings, analysis, dialogues and theatrical staging of the play O Auto da Barca do Inferno, by Gil Vicente. In this line, we rely on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of scholars such as Cosson (2006); Magda Soares (2003); Graça Paulino (2008); Ivanda Martins (2006); among others, and in official documents for secondary education. The study showed that the experience with the teaching of literature brought young people closer to the literary work and the students were able to develop their own reading and share the particularities absorbed during the contact with the text. Thus, we conclude that the literary literacy process, if well carried out, leads the student to have tools to appreciate literature as a humanizing art that goes beyond the superficial and basic decoding of historical periods, authors, and literary styles and starts considering its social use as a transforming practice in society.
