Mediação de leitura literária : o Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola (PNBE)

Abstract

This master dissertation is related to the research line of Education, Epistemology and Language, of the Post-Graduation Program in Education at the Caxias do Sul University. This study focuses on practices of mediation in reading of the literary text, considering an educational perspective and literary books selected by Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola [School Library National Program] (PNBE)/2008, which are published and directed to students of the first years of Elementary School. The investigation shows how the books are managed in schools of the city of Caxias do Sul/RS, specially, in the libraries of these learning institutions, which are the places that receive the material from the Brazilian Government and which are linked to the teachers who practices the mediation. In order to provide elements that could contribute to think about Education and Literature, considering both as ways to educate the person, the concepts are analyzed by ideas of Candido (1995), Dewey (1971), Larrosa (2002), Paviani (2005) e Zilberman (1998). Authors as Chartier (2005), Hauser (1973), Saraiva and Mugge (2006) and Vygotsky (1991) help to think about issues concerning reading mediation. The research shows that there are not well prepared teachers to use the books, which are very good ones considering their quality. Thus, the library function needs to be rethought. Because of that, guidelines for reading are created, using books of PNBE/2008 – Contos de animais do mundo todo [Tales about animals around the world] (2003), by Naomi Adler, Maria Mole [Floppy Mary] (2002), by André Neves, O rei maluco e a rainha mais ainda [Crazy king and the craziest queen] (2006), by Fernanda Lopes de Almeida and Os Lusíadas em quadrinhos [Comic version of the Lusiads] (2006), by Fido Nesti – and theoretical background provided by Reception Aesthetics – a theory that emphasizes the reader’s reception of a literary text, originated in twentieth century. The guidelines for reading, purposely planned, can contribute to the mediation processes of teachers and to the enjoyment of literature by students. Therefore, this study is important because it will be available for professionals whom are interested on the study and worried about offering to children opportunities of emancipation reading through the literary text.
