THE LITERARY LITERARY FOR SCIENTIFIC FICTION: THE CLASSROOM AS A LABORATORY
Teaching. Literary literacy. Science fiction.
The schooling of literature, although practiced since immemorial times, is constantly the subject of criticism and reflection, generating debates about the methodological possibilities to make access to the literary text viable and meaningful to the student. The reading deficiency of Brazilian students is remarkable, especially when it comes to reading the literary text. Ensuring this access to literature, while well incompressible, is a challenge imposed on the Portuguese teacher, since he is the main mediator, in the school context, between the student and the literary reading. Thus, this work focuses on the process of literary literacy as an alternative and emergent way of teaching literature at school, using the science fiction genre as a hypothesis of access to a reading experience that is meaningful to the reader. To do so, a didactic sequence will be developed, with the intention of making the reading of the literary text something attractive to the student. This work will be carried out with students of the 9th year of an Elementary Public School in the city of São Pedro - RN, with qualitative methodological support to action research, centered on the work of Thiollent (THIOLLENT, 1986). The theoretical basis of this work is based on the studies of Cosson (COSSON, 2007) in the understanding of the place of literature in the school context and of the didactic sequence as a way of accessing the literary text; in Candido (CANDIDO, 2011), whose essay “The Right to Literature” offers important reflections on the nature of the literary text; besides the works of Léo Godoy Otero (OTERO, 1987) and Bráulio Tavares (TAVARES, 1986), about the genre of science fiction. It is hoped that this work, which is in its process of execution, is based on the hypothesis that the use of the genre of science fiction as a triggering element of the taste for literary reading, to make literary reading a habit in life (not only at school ) of the student.
