Com Graça na escola: da ficção à realidade da sala de aula.

Abstract

Inside of Graciliano Ramos' works, he is considered an author with complex texts also not available to the public in general, the literary critic has been approached on his infantile characters separately, hindering his work relevance at all. Through the bibliographical research data, it was observed that the author is little explored in the fundamental and high school teaching and text books, and his juvenile inclination is not properly explored by the literary critic or in text books. For that reason, this study intends to work in the following narratives: The skinned boys' earth (infantile story: 1937); Luciana (1946) and Minsk (1945) (Insomnia stories), in order to analyze the juvenile character's representation in Graciliano Ramos also to examine the reception of those stories in the classroom, from the following subjects: Which is the infantile character's relevance in the author's work? How fundamental teaching students would receive the suffering expression and infantile exclusion presented by Graciliano Ramos? It departures from an hypothesis of the daily representation, such as: anxieties and expectations, besides difficulties the young characters possess in understanding themselves being placed historically and psychologically on their social context, throughout discovery and ripening moments, possibly, the beginning reader should be involved, once that those problems synthesize and project the infant-juvenile human experience. With this intention, the pedagogic experience is developed through a didactic sequence, in a public school. The main source data were the student-collaborators answers to the reading routes and the questions done in the classroom. Through a theoretical point of view, this research story analysis is based on the comprehension slope, according to authors as Bosi (2003a), Echo (1993), Eagleton (1983), among others. It refers to the literature teaching; it leaned in the aesthetics, reception and effect theory, related to the proposals of Jauss (1994), Chartier (2001), Iser (1979), Zilberman (1989) and in Chiappini (2005), Cosson (2006) and Pinheiro (2003), methodological proposals among others. Although, initially, the research turned to the appealing the infantile characters' suffering, in the author's work, the students read the narratives through another point of view: the amusement and game, teaching the researcher teacher observe the stories from other perspective. This research shows that there are several interpretations for the same text that student's experience may be let in consideration.
