UM JOVEM PROTAGONISTA: UMA ANÁLISE DA CONSTRUÇÃO POÉTICA, CULTURAL E EDUCACIONAL DO POETRY SLAM COMO PRÁTICA LITERÁRIA

Abstract

A movement of repressed voices is born: the microphone is the sword, poetry is the shield and the voice is the dissatisfaction that opens the revolution of its autonomy – from Literature to life. This research is dedicated to reflecting on Poetry Slam as part of the practice of youth literary reading, with the justification of reaffirming that contemporary young people not only read, but also produce Literature. Therefore, in this work, of a bibliographic nature, the main objective is to support the importance of understanding and valuing youth culture during the Literature teaching process. To this end, the objectives, which are specified based on this, are developed into: presentation and reflection on Poetry Slam and training of young readers; emphasis on Marginal/Peripheral Literature as a tool of representation and encouragement for the construction of literary practice at school; importance of the poetic and performative literary construction of the Poetry Slam; and, finally, in the analysis of a methodological proposal that inserts Poetry Slam as a literary reading practice and the reception analysis of the application of Slam at school. To this end, we have, as a theoretical contribution, authors who engage in studies considered relevant to this topic, such as Cosson (2009), Zilberman (1989), Gregorin Filho (2011), Kraynak and Smith (2009), among others. As a consequence, therefore, we recognize the importance of understanding youth singularity to favor the practice of Literature with competent readers and we understand that Poetry Slam externalizes characteristic elements of the sociocultural identity of young people today and leads, from its composition, with relevance to interaction text/reader.
