LITERACIES IN DISPUTE: THE CLASH BETWEEN TRADITION AND LITERARY PRACTICES OF RE-EXISTENCE IN THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL EXAM

ABSTRACT

A brief reading of the Brazilian National High School Examination (Enem) exams in recent years reveals that, in friction with discourses from the Brazilian literary tradition, literary texts that are based on discursive practices of re-existence coexist as objects of analysis within the area of Languages, Codes and its Technologies. In this sense, in the light of Indisciplinary Applied Linguistics, Literacy theories and the theoretical-methodological approach of Dialogical Discourse Analysis, this paper aims at investigating which literary literacies are (dis)legitimized in the Enem questions constructed based on literary texts that are aesthetically and discursively constituted as discourses of re-existence. In order to do so, exams from 2018 to 2020 of Enem were analyzed. In conclusion, it is possible to state that, despite the relative presence of re-existence literary texts in these exams, frictions between more traditional literacy approaches and those openly ideological are still perceived.
