O repente como recurso didático metodológico para o ensino de sociologia no ensino médio.

Abstract

This paper aims to present a poetical gender called repente or cantoria, as an attempt to take it to school and suggest it as a methodological didactic resource to be worked in Sociology classes in High School. There are countless works of singers that concern social issues allowing Sociology teachers to explore such themes with their students, in the classroom. We have chosen for our analysis the poem The Sweat of the Explored (1995), which deals with the exploitative situation the worker is constantly living in his job. We can find in its strophes concepts related to those developed by the philosopher Karl Marx on the subject “work”. We have approached, at first, some concepts of this thinker‟s theory, especially the ones that refer to the subject of labor. Then, we have made the analysis of the poem, highlighting, in the strophes, the poets‟ verses that were befitting with the referred philosopher‟s vision. We have also used, as a theoretical support, the topic “Sociology in High School” from the National Curriculum Guidelines (2006), a document that serves as a means of supporting for teachers to develop didactic and pedagogical proposals to be worked upon in the classroom. We believe that the relationship established in this study between the musical gender “repente” and the theoretical approaches of the sociological thinking may contribute in a positive way for the performance of Sociology classes in High School.
