O auto do reino da imaginação a performance do roleplaying game (RPG) em jogo com a pedra do reino por mediadoras da leitura literária.

Abstract

In this dissertation, we seek to investigate the relationship between the interpretation of the literary text and the performance of the Role-playing Game (RPG) through literary reading experiences of A Pedra do Reino, the work of the brazilian writer Ariano Suassuna, carried out by reading mediators. We find in RPG a practice of literary appropriation with which the reader can, through intertextuality, trace readings of literary works, interpreting them through the game. In this direction, this research analyzes Suassuna's readers 'texts (ROUXEL, 2013) in a reading circle about the novel, from the points of contact between the participants' experiences with the RPG and with the literary composition. As an objective of appreciating the circle, we selected the first five chapters of the novel, identifying in them intertextual relations between the epic, the tragic and the comic, as well as the presence of the mystery plot, common to police novels. From the readings, the narratives told by the RPG performance were written by the readers in logbooks, where they recorded their fictionalizing activities (LANGLADE, 2013), analyzed in the research. The perception of the participants as mediators of reading in response to the use of RPG in the training of readers was also investigated. It is identified in this action research that the participants, as readers, find in the characters and narratives made with the RPG their ways of interpreting the literary work, starting from the aspects of genre, style, plot and characters. As mediators of reading, they observe literary reading in the company of RPG as an opening of symbolic universes of literature to the imaginations of readers, which can be applied in the process of interpreting various literary works. We found support for this research in the thoughts of Bosi (1988), Barthes (2015), Iser (2002), Paulino and Cosson (2009), Amorim (2011), Oliveira (2018), Rodrigues (2004), Zamariam (2020), Samoyault (2008), Santos (2009), among others.
