Uma análise multimodal de cartaz de filmes no ensino fundamental

Abstract

Society is more and more media, which demands a more critical education, which builds communicative skills in the face of the new functioning of language. This implies rethinking the teaching of the Portuguese language, based on new concepts of reading. From this perspective, the general objective of this study is to highlight the construction of meanings, in the film poster genre, through a multimodal analysis, for the development of literacy. The study is based on the theoretical foundations of the Grammar of Visual Design (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2006), as well as on the theoretical assumptions of Silva (2015), Aguiar (2013), Moraes (2011), Rojo (2012), Thiollent ( 1988), Soares (2004), among others, with regard to visual literacy. The research undertaken is justified by the need to foster interest in reading, in the context of teaching a 9th grade class at a State School of Minas Gerais, facing a reality in which there is little interest in reading verbal texts and noticeable enchantment by visual texts. This work started with the intention of answering what are the contributions of a reading practice of the movie poster genre, with the perspective of improving the reading proficiency of the students, and, in a specific way, to verify the reading skills and competences in relation to multimodal texts, especially in the movie poster genre. To that extent, we start from the hypothesis that the exploration of multimodal genres, aiming to encourage the reading of texts of a hybrid character, would promote the consolidation of communicative skills that would enable students to have a critical and autonomous social performance. The methodology of this study followed the orientation of action research, in a perspective of qualitative approach, in which, with regard to the investigation instruments, we use observation questionnaires and procedures for critical reading of visual texts. As a pedagogical proposal, we present a didactic sequence aimed at teachers of Portuguese Language Elementary Education.
