A (não) presença da literatura de autoria feminina nos livros didáticos de ensino médio

Abstract

This work aims to analyze in which way the feminine authorship literature is approached in the textbooks of “Portuguese” curricular component – that also cover the study of literature – from High School, in specific in the books of the three most distributed collections in the country from the Guide of Textbook National Program (Guia do Programa Nacional do Livro Didático - PNLD) 2015. Aiming to contextualize this analysis, it was done a research of bibliographic approach about the woman as a writer, about the presence of feminine authorship in the history of the Brazilian literature and finally about the feminist criticism. The hypothesis of this research is that the phenomenon – broadly studied – of the erasure of literature produced by women of the Brazilian literary history still manifests nowadays, in several ways. One of them would be the little space reserved to the feminine writing inside the literary history traced in the textbooks. The hypothesis is confirmed in the end of the analysis, since that only a tiny number of writers received, in the analyzed books, some type of study that surpasses the mere mention of their names.
