Leitura do texto literário: um olhar para o gênero narrativa de enigma com alunos do 8º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The literary reading in the classroom should aim the humanistic formation of the being, as well as a critical and questioning position in front of the life, however, the literary reading that is made today in the classroom, most of the times, can not reach this end. In this context, the goal of the present study is to know the effects of the reading of enigma narratives in the text / reader relationship, based on the reading of the book Stories of the Detective, organized by José Paulo Paes, in a class of 8th grade in Elementary school. The central question was considered: what is the effect of reading an enigma narrative in the process of receiving the literary text in an 8th grade class of Elementary School? It was accepted as a hypothesis that the practice of reading enigma narratives, when it compels the reader to deduce information, analyze behaviors and fill gaps, arouses in the reader more active postures before the text and, consequently, before life. The used methodology consisted of a bibliographical research and the development of reading and writing workshops in an 8th grade classroom of the municipal network of the city of Rosário-MA. The theoretical contribution involved Todorov's (2006, 2014) about the importance of literature in school and the narrative structures of Reimão (1983) on police narratives, by Cosson (2012), who proposes work with a view to literacy literary; Jauss (1979), which highlights the role of the reader in relation to the literary work; by Iser (1979), who seeks to study the effects of literary work on his readers; among others. The reflections from the theory and the observation of the workshops carried out allowed the construction of a methodological proposal with the narrative genre of enigma for a group of 8th year of Elementary School. The work accomplished allowed us to understand the importance of literary reading in the formation of the student as a citizen, as a human being and in his autonomy in face of the challenges of life.
