Leitura, letramentos e o ensino de literatura na educação do campo

Abstract

This thesis reflects on the teaching of literary reading and literacy in Rural Education. The investigative question concerns the necessary criticism of the conceptions of reading and literacy in the teaching of literature in Rural Education and in teacher training, paying attention to ethnic-racial issues. The general objective of the research is to propose critical and emancipatory teaching strategies through literary reading, considering the interaction with experiences, identities, memories, subjectivities, cultural modes and issues that affect peasant communities. In this way, a critical analysis of conceptions of reading, literature, literacy and their implications for pedagogical proposals for Rural Education will be carried out; the synthetic presentation of the field as a cultural and identity space that requires specific teaching and learning methods; the problematization of the curricular contents of literature teaching indicated by official documents, concerning Rural Education; criticism of initial teacher training and the urban-centric, racist and colonialist curriculum; as well as strategies for teaching literary reading that consider the knowledge, identities and ways of life of peasant communities will be recommended. This is a bibliographic and autoethnographic research, in which, also, the trajectories of life, teaching and research followed by the author are made available to the theoretical construction on how to teach literary reading, focusing on the capacity of this artistic-discursive element in fictionalization of the lives of minority groups, in the fight against coloniality and structural racism, sexism, patriarchy. The data collected in official documents, analyzed using content analysis techniques, and autoethnographic procedures allow us to present critical proposals for teaching literary reading, attentive to the approach to ethnic-racial issues, in confronting racism and coloniality, from the perspective of human emancipation.
