LITERATURA JUVENIL NA ESCOLA: UM ESTUDO DA RECEPÇÃO LITERÁRIA NOS ANOS FINAIS A PARTIR DO CONTO “AGULHAS E BOLINHAS”, DE VITOR MARTINS

Abstract

Reading, especially in the context of literary works, plays a considerable role in the formation of individuals endowed with critical and reflective thinking, implying the ability to understand the world and sociocultural changes. In addition, literature provides pleasure and entertainment, as well as stimulates creativity and imagination. Therefore, this research presents a qualitative approach focused on the analysis of the reception of the short story “Agulhas e Bolinhas”, by Vitor Martins, based on a reading circle carried out with students in the Final Years of Elementary School at Escola Municipal Tharcilla Barbosa da Franca in João Pessoa – Paraíba. Therefore, considering the importance of the reader in the act of reading, we chose to base this research on the premises of Jauss (1994), Zilberman (1989), Bordini and Aguiar (1988), Solé (1998) and others. The aim is to elucidate the processes by which readers create meaning during reading. In addition, this research aims to corroborate the use of this method in the school environment, since it offers a different approach to teaching literature. It is therefore hoped that the research will have a significant impact on the recognition of the reading experience. We believe that, with the final considerations of this study, the developments will providedde a greater understanding of the values, differences and similarities manifested by students through literary reception.
