Viagem literária, dos diários a Dom Quixote: representações de alunos do ensino fundamental sobre o mundo da leitura

Abstract

This research is linked to the doctorate course in Education from Petrópolis Catholic University and aims to understand the meanings that students present in relation to children's literature worked at school. Literary Literacy is understood as a process, a construction that occurs throughout existence of the individual, in which there is the appropriation of literature while a cultural construction. (PAULINE and COSSON, 2009). The school task would be to allow the appropriation of literary reading. This study presents a theoretical and methodological option for qualitative research from an ethnographic character. To identify the point of view of the others, the meanings assigned for them to the teaching work developed seeks to develop a relativizing look, in other words, an " off-center look, that stranges stereotypes, searching for a point of view in relation to the meanings of the "other" in their own terms. "(Dauster, 2012, p.5). The research starts with the observation of the students and with semi-structured interviews to build a dense description of the researched reality. The subjects are thirty-one students from the 3rd year of elementary school in a public school, chosen by the investment it makes in literary reading. Some important theoretical contributions were sought. Regarding to child's conception, Kramer (2002) and Benjamin (1994). To deepen on language, Kramer (2002), which brings us Vygotsky, Bakhtin and Benjamin. The concept of reading is treated under Benjamin(1994), Chartier (2011), Garcia (2003, 2010), Kato (1997), Kleiman (1995), Larrosa (2007), Machado (2001), Magnani (1994) Manguel (1997) and Petit (2008; 2009). In relation to literary literacy, Chartier (1991, 2011), Goulart (2007), Manguel (1997), and Paulino Cosson (2001) and Petit (2008). The literature is studied from Candido (2011), Coelho, (2000), Kramer (2002), Larrosa (2007, 2013), Manguel (1997), Petit (2008 and 2009), Soares (2003). Listen to what children say about the work done at school with literary books can contribute to new articulation possibilities of the pedagogical work, which may explain why some students appreciate literature and others do not like to read literary books. In relation to the results achieved, I highlight that many children have in the family the encouragement for reading, but the work that the searched school does enriches this initial motivation and provides countless "literary journeys", described by the children. From the readings that students do, the teacher invests in more expressive readings, seeking to improve the taste. Students realize the investment done by the school in relation to literary reading and make notes in which they build new meanings and their self-identity.
