Literatura na escola: prática de interpretação?

Abstract

This work aims at refl ecting upon the school mediated relation of the reader-student with the literary text, from observing a school experience. Taking into account some incompatibility between the literary and pedagogic discourses, the intention here is to evaluate if young students reach the interpretation, even if the reading practice is determined and controlled by an evaluation and selection mechanism as the selective process of the university entrance examination. Further on the intercrossing of literary and pedagogic discourses, a third one is inserted in the weft, the Historical discourse, once the read novel Pão cozido debaixo de brasa is built based on a true event.
