O Romance do Conquistador na sala de aula: uma proposta de leitura dramatizada do cordel de Lourdes Ramalho.

Abstract

Cordel theater, which comes from the universe of oral narrative in verse, can be characterized in its construction as a hybrid dramatic form. It is a genre that is practically absent from textbooks and the teaching of literary reading in general. Our research, focused on cordel theater in the classroom, aims to analyze the play Romance do conquistador, by Lourdes Ramalho, and propose a script for dramatic reading of the text in the classroom. Firstly, we present Lourdes Ramalho's cordel theater, then we discuss some basic concepts in the field of cordel dramatization and, finally, we present a proposed approach to Ramalho's play for the final grades of elementary school. We draw on the reflections of Marinho and Pinheiro (2012) and Pinheiro (2006, 2008), which focus on working with cordel pamphlets in the classroom, as well as studies on the work of Lourdes Ramalho de Andrade and Maciel (2005) and Maciel (2008, 2010). In the field of performance, we relied on Zumthor (1993, 2007, 2016) and methodological support on Oliveira (2017, 2018). With this research, we hope to contribute to the training of readers from the perspective of dramatic reading in verse, using a methodology that favors the construction of readerly subjects.
