Práticas de leitura literária nos anos finais do ensino fundamental: a formação de leitores através do gênero conto

Abstract

This lecture has been carried out to act in the literature readers' training in the Final Years of Elementary School. For this purpose, the literary genre Short Story was chosen for the realization and application of the study. In order for the inadequacy of the teaching of reading literary texts in the classroom to be presented, there has been a need to discuss the way in which literature is approached in the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, in the Base Nacional Comum Curricular and in the Orientações Curriculares para o Ensino Médio. Due to how literary reading is referred to in these guidelines, it's been necessary to discuss the absence of the canon in the approach to literary texts in schools. In this regard, it is important to observe the relationship of the student with the reading, and, from that point on, the importance of the mediation of the literary reading for the training of the reader was explained. In addition, it has been discussed how the student can actively engage in this type of reading. Regarding to the reception and interaction of the student with the literary text, three authors were selected to base our research on the reception of the literary text during the act of reading, they are: Umberto Eco (1991), Hans Robert Jauss (1994) and Wolfgang Iser (1996a; 1996b). It’s been necessary to talk about the teaching of literature and its relation with the construction of literary interpretation. There has been a discussion about the genre Short Story, from the perspective of Alfredo Bosi (1974), Edgar Allan Poe (1999), Ricardo Piglia (2004) and Júlio Cortázar (2006). From these readings, a booklet with activities was developed to be applied in the Final Years of Elementary School, however, in the middle of the path, there was a pandemic caused by the Sars-Cov 2 virus, which made the use and application of the material unfeasible in the classroom, but it will be available for adaptations and future applications.
