“Com sua voz de mulher”: o letramento literário pelo contar de Marina Colasanti

Abstract

This master’s thesis consists of an investigation on the process of training literary readers in Elementary School and had as main purpose to promote, through the tale genre, the literary literacy of ninth grade students of the Augusta Valle State School, in the city of Montes Claros, north of Minas Gerais. In order to carry out this research, the action-research method was used with an intervention project composed of workshops in which were studied the tales “A princesa mar a mar”, “Eram três, e um precipício”, “Um cantar de mar e vento”, “Longe como o meu querer”, “Rio abaixo, rio acima” and “Com sua voz de mulher” from the collection Longe como o meu querer, by Marina Colasanti, published in 2002. These workshops foundation were in the Basic Sequence proposed by Rildo Cosson: motivation, introduction, reading and interpretation. The aim of this work was to offer a relevant discussion on the theme, based on authors such as Ângela Kleiman (2004), Rildo Cosson (2009 and 2018), who discuss the practice of literary literacy at school, the expansion and encouragement of reading; Graça Paulino (2010), among other authors who reinforce the need for literary literacy practices as a necessary tool for the effective formation of the reader. The results showed that the majority of students showed no interest in the literary text, which revealed the need for an intervention work focused on reading education. Finally, it was proved that, through a motivating approach, it is possible to enable students to have a pleasant relationship with the literary text, which, in this case, resulted in students more attracted to tale genre.
