Viagem a São Saruê, a idade do ouro e o cordel como gênero de iniciação à leitura para uma turma de EJA.

Abstract

This work was based on the triad: cordel, golden age and education. Analyzed the cordel trip to São Saruê by Manuel Camilo dos Santos, whose theme is an imaginary trip to a country that is also imaginary and perfect. A string that invites the reader to think, to be the subject of his own being. It was intended, in addition to analyzing, to propose the cordel genre as a pleasant reading and not only as entertainment, but also as a didactic and social transformation tool, since literature, especially in fantastic reading, contributes to form a thinking subject and reflective. Therefore, this dissertation presents the proposal to use cordel as a pedagogical tool in the teaching of Portuguese in Youth and Adult Education. This work was based on authors who discussed the Golden Age, such as Le Goff (2013), Minois and Holland (2004), about reading based on the fundamentals of Koch (2005; 2018) among others. About cordel, authors stand out, who not only wrote about cordel, but also did it for educational purposes, such as Marinho and Pinheiro (2012), Viana (2010). The reflections about the theory that underlies this work, as well as the practical experience through the realization of a cordel workshop in the classroom, with students from an EJA class suggest that when analyzing a cordel that brought an imaginary trip as the theme to a country that is also imaginary and perfect, a string that invites the reader to think, reflections are opened about the Being subject of his own being, certainly preparing proficient readers.
