This paper analyzes practices of reading poetry aloud in high school classes both in Brazil and in France. By enabling themselves to be affected by such readings, students (re)discover their subject position, their dignity, their human condition, and their social responsibility in a quasi-psychoanalytic work of (re)construction of the self. In short, by reading, saying and writing (themselves), students place themselves in the world.
