Mostrar? Esconder? Seduzir? : o papel do narrador em obras do PNBE 2010

Abstract

This thesis is part of the literary texts reading field, specifically children's narratives, and focuses its attention on the performance of the narrator, a narrative body responsible for conducting our reading and, thus, to makes us close or distant, to show us or hide or to involve us into the narrated. The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of seen the narrator as a reading symbolic mediator. From the hypothesis that this individual made of paper, far beyond just being ranked as 1st or 3rd person, for his performance in the narrative can also be considered a symbolic mediator of reading and also with the intention of contributing to the pedagogical practice. For this investigation, we selected works of the Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola (National Program of School Library) - PNBE 2010, distributed free by the federal government to all public schools in the country. Our theoretical background lies on Iser (1999; 1996), Larrosa (2003) and Candido (1995) with respect to the literary text reading; Genette (s / d); Benjamin (2007), Lajolo and Zilberman (1996), the study of the speaker; Prince (1994), the narratee; Zilberman (1981) and Coelho (1991), children's literature; and Vygotsky (1989), the mediation. After reading and analyzing the elements that make up each of the 50 works with verb visual narratives, that make up the 4 PNBE 2010 collections, we selected eight titles for the qualitative and quantitative analysis, directing our attention to the story and its speech, especially for the narrator's role with a view to the narratee. Based on this analysis, we consider that the narrator is also a symbolic mediator in the reading process, provided that: a) expresses deep knowledge of the narrated and is therefore a wise person; b) takes into consideration the reader's expectation of the universe; and c) challenges the reader.
