Entre calles y clases: a poesia oral do poetry slam e o trabalho de letramento racial nas aulas de espanhol como língua estrangeira.

Abstract

In this article, based on oral performances of Latin American Poetry Slam published online, we search proposals for working with the poetry slam literary genre in Spanish as a foreign language classes. Poetry slam is a movement gaining strength in Latin America by providing a space for expression to a segment of the population that has historically being silenced or ignored. In this context, we understand the movement’s work as a current and effective tool for articulating the notions of literary literacy and racial literacy, aiming to stimulate relevant and efficient debates that connect the classroom with the surrounding society. The main objective is to reflect on the importance of intercultural approaches, allowing students, by looking at others, to reflect on their own culture and the reality around them.
