Uma proposta de letramento literário por meio de adaptações e obras originais de narrativas policiais

Abstract

The present work, linked to the macroproject "Pedagogical interventions in the teaching of literature: inter-relationships between literary adaptations" developed within the scope of the Professional Master's Degree in Literature – Profletras – at UFJF, aims to reflect on the teaching of literature in the final years of what would be the equilavent to elementary school to Brazilian public schools, as well as proposing a pedagogical intervention project to be applied in Portuguese Language classes, which often use literary text exclusively for grammatical analysis. Through studies of authors who developed theories about detective novels, combined with others who theorized the concept of adaptation, we sought to promote the literary literacy of elementary students at a municipal school in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, regarding the characteristics of the genre, the tenses present in its narratives, the characters, the space where the events take place and the plot. This intervention proposal will be divided into three stages: the first will be the analysis of the episode “The abominable Bride” based on the adaptation of the short story “The musgrave Ritual” by Arthur Conan Doyle written by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatis. Next, students will read the short story “Ritual Musgrave” adapted by Márcia Kupstas. The second stage will be the reading of the first six and last three chapters of the book “O Escaravelho do Diabo” written by Lúcia Maria Machado and, finally, the students will watch the film adaptation of the same book scripted by Milanie Dimantas and Ronaldo Santos. When analyzing the film, there will be a pause at the nineteenth minute for the students to compare the original work with the adaptation and, at this point, they will begin to explore the narrative categories, the similarities and differences present in the adapted work. The third stage will be an evaluative activity in which students will produce a video indicating the film or book “O Escaravelho do Diabo”. The theoretical assumptions that anchor this intervention are literary literacy (Cosson, 2016); (Paulino and Cosson, 2009), adaptation (Hutcheon, 2013), short story and novel (Moisés, 1970), detective narrative (Todorov, 1970) and Narative Categories (Abdala Júnior). The methodology used was research-action (Thiollent, 1986). The strategy chosen was “protocol reading”, as it is important in this work that reaches readers in development. When developing the didactic sequence,M to bring students closer to literary texts.
