A RECEPÇÃO DO TEXTO LITERÁRIO NO ENSINO: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA COM A POESIA

Abstract

In the wake of many years of discussions on reading and on the reading of the literary text, it is a fact that the teacher finds himself/herself unsure about his/her manner of dealing with literature in the classroom. How may one deal with such a free issue as literature within the context of an institution fraught with rules and demands? How may one deal with such an institution, streaming high proposals of democracy and freedom, but failing to untie itself from bureaucratic traits and links with the establishment? Owing to the genre's structure, the issue is more complex when the poetic text is contemplated. Although there are many types of introductions to a literary work, the teacher should be aware with regard to modes that favor the active participation of the reader during the reading process. Actually, the literary text is made up of gaps and indeterminations that must be filled during reading process. Accordingly we first intend to systematize the reading reception levels of the literary text in the classroom according to the German educator Hans Kügler in his books First Reading, Collective Constitution of Meaning and Secondary Reading Manners. Further, an analysis of Mario de Andrade's poem O trovador [The singer] will be provided to show the manner these different levels of the reception literary text could be developed.
