O papel do professor de espanhol/le a partir da leitura de cómo viajar sin ver (2010), de Andrés Neuman: reflexões e desafios.

Abstract

The present work discusses the Spanish (Spanish Language/ SL) teacher role and challenges based on the reading of the book Cómo viajar sin ver (2010) by Spanish-Argentinian writer Andres Neuman. The book is composed of a hybrid narrative that gathers the travel journals of a trip undertaken by the author in nineteen countries around Latin America in 2009. The narrative takes us to an excursion through the ethnic, linguistic and social-cultural heterogeneity of Latin America Landscapes. In this journey, we examine how the linguistic practices operate in the meaning-producing mechanisms built of and in the interaction between the being and the exterior world, aiming at reexamining the importance of critical literacy, intercultural conscience and translation as crucial elements in the Spanish teaching/learning process in the current Brazilian educational context.
