Literatura de autoria negra feminina: contribuições para a formação do leitor

Abstract

Brazilian society is marked by patriarchalism, inequalities, and social segregations. This is reflected in the social place reserved for black women in several spheres such as academia, work, and the artistic-literary field, perpetuating for decades a space of silencing, invisibility, and marginalization for black female literature, and it needs to be questioned by professor-researchers who fight to guarantee an anti-racist education. In this regard, this work aims to promote literary literacy through the reading of texts by black female authorship, to reflect on the space of literature by black female authorship in Portuguese language classes aiming to highlight texts by black women as a form of resistance and their contribution to the formation of critical readers, aware of their space and rights, stimulating their cognitive and linguistic development, and their identities strengthening. In methodological terms, we propose an intervention that has a qualitative nature and is configured as action research, as it will have the professor as a mediator and this mediation will take place through the realization of Cosson's basic sequence with the analysis of the work A cor da Ternura by Geni Guimarães (2018). In this perspective, to achieve our goals, we seek theoretical foundation in Hall (2014, 2020), Bhabha (1998), Gonzales (2020), Cosson (2021), Zilberman (2012), Lerner (2002), Souza (2011) among others that interest our proposal. The research locus was a local school from João Pessoa and students from the 7th year of Elementary School-final years were active subjects in the process. We wish to develop the current research in the virtual and presential environment, because we are on the hybrid teaching and as a partial result, we have the concern and questionings of male and female students who found themselves in literary reading, in addition to reflections on pejorative stereotypes that circulate in school and beyond.
