Enegrecendo a literatura: leitura de obras de escritoras negras brasileiras nos anos finais de uma escola de ensino fundamental

Abstract

This study of a propositional nature was developed within the scope of the Professional Master's Degree Program in Letters-PROFLETRAS at the Federal University of Bahia-UFBA, whose objective is to investigate how the teaching of reading, through the works of black Brazilian writers, can contribute to the reading education of students in the final years of elementary school, especially the 6th grade of the public school system in the city of Salvador- BA based on ethnic-racial relations. To carry out this research, I chose the works of: Geni Guimarães (2001), Conceição Evaristo (2016), Jenyffer Nascimento (2014), Carolina Maria de Jesus (2014) and Kiusam Oliveira (2021), with a view to developing reading competence in order to contribute to the formation of subjects capable of understanding and taking a stand against racism. In view of the general objective and the research question, I opted for the autoethnographic methodological procedure because this method allowed me to study my (individual) self and reflect on important issues for a collective self, re-signifying my contexts of action. As this is a propositional work, I chose to produce a notebook of didactic-pedagogical activities that aims to support the practice of reading black literature for anti-racist reading training in the classroom. To do this, I used theoretical and methodological studies such as: Autoethnography (Versiani, 2005) and (Magalhães, 2018); Black literature (Luiz Silva Cuti, 2010); Afro-Brazilian literature (Eduardo de Assis Duarte, 2014); (Maria Nazareth Soares Fonseca, 2014); Writings and racism (Conceição Evaristo, 2020 ); (Lívia Natália, 2020); (Nilma Lino Gomes 2005); (Sueli Carneiro, 2005); (Grada Kilomba, 2019); Letramento de reexistência (Ana Lúcia Silva Souza, 2010); Letramento racial crítico (Aparecida Ferreira de Souza, 2015); Literary literacy (Rildo Cosson, 2014), among others that have contributed to a work of reading black literature from the perspective of a written production by black people who bring their subjectivity to the text, as well as their lives and experiences in order to break with racial and gender discrimination, still the result of a society that promotes the silencing and erasure of the culture and literary production of black Brazilian men and women.
