O tecido da ficção à “escrevivência” que costura novos olhares para a realidade: uma análise da recepção do conto “Maria”.

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the reception of students in the third year of high school of the short story “Maria” by Conceição Evaristo, highlighting the potential that the text presents to engage the reader, raising reflections on the themes present in the literary work. To this end, we rely on studies by Jauss (1994), Candido (1995), Cosson (2014), Evaristo (2020), Petit (2009), Rouxel (2013) among other theorists who researched the reception of literary texts, literature and the young reader. The results point to the emotional connection that students establish with the literary work, highlighting its importance for the representation in fiction. The conclusion demonstrates the mediation of the story as an efficient pedagogical instrument, highlighting that working with the literary text in the classroom provoked the reader's encounter with the text in a way that raised several reflections on the social reality existing in Brazil, in addition to provide personal identification and attribution of individual meanings while preserving the literary factor of reading.
