O prazer da literatura: o uso do texto literário em sala de aula

Abstract

Having in mind that our concrete reality in which the illiteracy is still strong and critics say that it is a priority some questions concerning teaching methodology, we will focus on this text some aspects of which some calls the art of reading. That is it, we will observe that reading goes beyond technical questions. We will take as a beginning point Roland Barthes’ statement, which says that reading, is related to pleasure. We also do know reading activity has powers to enrich and humanized somebody when it is understood on its fully conception – as art. We know too that the pleasures that come from reading activity are numerous and multiple, once one reads to learn something, to understand something, and to think about something. We also read because the beauty of the language, because our emotion, and still because our perturbation. While we read, we are sharing experience, dreaming and learning how to dream. From this vision we can pass to a more scientific approach of reading process, and pragmatically to wake up the pleasure of reading a text. We also need to understand how someone learn how to read and what is so amazing on the reading activity to reach a possible “reeducation” of some readers and a level of a proficient reading process.
