Uma mulher fala: lendo poemas de Audre Lorde nas aulas de língua inglesa do ensino médio

Abstract

This paper suggests practices to promote literary literacy, with an emphasis on encouraging reading, interpretation and the production of texts, through the “basic sequence”, suggested by Cosson (2012). These practices were conceived from the poetry of Audre Lorde A woman speaks, centered on black women: in which they are seen and in their own battle to assert their voice and identity. The objective is, with this, to provide students with activities in literature classes that prioritize a practice of reading, interpretation and production of poetic texts attentive to the stylistic structure to the sociohistorical-cultural content of the text. The proposal is to work on the teaching-learning of the literary poem through the Basic Sequence and with a view to literary literacy, by adopting the stages of motivation, introduction, reading and interpretation, followed by the literary production and its exposure. Our motivation is also forged in the experimentation of poetic reading that considers the reading of the world, in which they involve social, historical, cultural and structural aspects. In terms of theoretical foundation, we will rely, as main references, on Candido (2012), Cosson (2014), Cosson and Souza (2020), Pinheiro (2002), among others.
