ESCREVIVÊNCIAS DE PARIPE: ESTUDANTES REEXISTINDO NAS OFICINAS DE LEITURA E PRODUÇÃO DE TEXTOS

Abstract

How important are literacies, including the school literacies, in a graphocentric society like ours? This academic memoir is the result of a qualitative research of an ethnographic study developed in the Mestrado Profissional em Letras (PROFLETRAS) at the Institute of Letters of the Federal University of Bahia. Its object of study is the social literacies practices of 9th graders, from a municipal school, in the railroad suburb of Salvador. The objective of this work is to broaden the reading concepts of these students, giving the texts they produce or are exposed to, a cultural and historical significance valued by the school. Therefore, the studies are based on the concepts of literacies of re-existence (SOUZA, 2011); literacies (KLEIMAN, 2001) (ROJO, 2009); language and languages (ANZALDUA, 2009), (ANTUNES, 2003, 2007); linguistic racism (NASCIMENTO, 2019); host-country language ((BARBOSA and SÃO BERNARDO, 2017)) and “escrevivência” (EVARISTO, 2007, 2020); among others, including authors who considers the introduction of literature closer to the students' experiences, such as (DALVI, 2013), (OLIVEIRA, 2019), (SANTOS, 2019). The proposal seeks to understand the social and cultural events in which students are inserted, providing space for listening and valuing local writing and reading practices through conversation circles, interviews, readings, among other activities, resulting in the production of biographies of local personalities. Thus, it is proposed throughout this project, to make the school a space for the recognition of local identities, their life stories and literacy practices of the community, as well as favoring other spaces and forms of reading.
