Literacy and authorship: a proposal for a didactic sequence for the teaching of literature

Abstract

There are pedagogical practices in which the teaching of literature is restricted to theoretical, anachronistic, biographical and fragmentary aspects, without providing moments of dialogue between the participants in the teaching-learning process, and without promoting the experimentation of language. In view of this context, this article aims to analyze and approximate the concepts of authorship and Literacy in Literature and, based on that, to propose a didactic sequence aimed at the meaningful teaching of literature. The perspective adopted is that, by breaking the paradigm of theorization and assuming a reflexive and dialogic character, the literary studies that make up the basic education menus can expand to the scope of creation, becoming a potential space for (re) meaning and production of discourses. Methodologically, the research was based on the literature review, following a qualitative character, and adopted as a reference the teaching of Portuguese language directed to High School. The analyses showed that the concepts of reading and authorship can be associated for the benefit of the construction of teaching strategies, among which is the constitution of a literary system in which the student has the role of reader and author. In addition, the discussions that took place arose reflections on two aspects: the position that the student occupies in the school context and the potential of the roles that can be occupied by him.
