LITERATURE, CLASSROOM AND SHARP WORDS

Abstract

In this paper, some notes associated with literary fragments are presented as tools for interactive approaches and its critical possibilities of learning. We favor the High School environment because it is part of a very important moment in the student life, providing broader openings for knowledge and world questioning. The literary text here is seen as a teaser of social historical perspectives, apart from the uniqueness structuring of language. In order to do this, we turn to writers and literary pieces whose writing proposals do not belong to a same space and time, not even the same gender in two of the cases, once our goal is, before anything else, to make remarks about reading alternatives. The analyzed excerpts belong to Glossário, a poem by Narlan Matos; Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas, a novel by Machado de Assis; Tenda dos milagres, a novel by Jorge Amado; Quarto de despejo, the diary of Carolina Maria de Jesus; and Cidade de Deus, a novel by Paulo Lins. Based upon these literary pieces, we planned a way to discuss about these uncertain entanglements in the classroom.
