Análise das abordagens da epopeia no livro didático do ensino médio.

Abstract

When we read a classic we always have something new to discover and learn, it is a work that always surprises us with new things and therefore it is eternalized through its study, investigation and research on its past, its time of birth. Through epic poetry the Greek were able to make their mark on history, bringing with them their ideals and teachings, which served for later generations. Through this finding, this work aims to analyze how the epic, with special attention to "Os Lusíadas" of Camões, is approached in the textbook of high school. The research is bibliographical and is analytically based on works by JAEGER (1994), CALVINO (1993) among others to clarify about the epic genre and to understand its importance for the studies. Although it is present in textbooks, the study of the epic genre is still scarcely exposed, there is no contextualization about the genre, it is only possible to note some excerpts that exemplify it, without going into the content, leaving out several important points to be studied. The study must go beyond the textbook, so that the student understands even more and feels instigated to know and learn about the genre, the work intends to present proposals to work this content in the classroom.
