Acción Poética: quando um estágio atravessa os muros da escola e impacta na população

Abstract

This paper aims to present the experience of the Supervised Internship in Spanish Language V, done by two undergraduate students of the course of Portuguese and Spanish Language and Literature of the Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS), and how that action had an impact on the city’s reality. The practice of the internship was developed with High School students through workshops offered as an after-school activity for the morning students. At the contemporary literature workshops, with a workload that exceeded the limit for this internship, it was presented the modern and the contemporaneous on art, emphasizing literature, poetry, going through Nicanor Parra’s Antipoesía until the so-called movement Acción Poética. Examples of poetical practices that were specially made in Latin America were showed, always analyzing with the students the movement foundation and what was the meaning of those poems. In the last workshop, the interns, their advisor, and the students made some Acción Poética interventions on four walls of the city, that had been previously prospect by the interns, and all the necessary permissions were requested. At the end of this experience, a questionnaire was given to the shops’ owners who worked near the walls to verify the impact that the painting had caused the city. It was possible to conclude that Acción Poética can and should be considered a teaching methodology for the leaning of Spanish language and its literature, as it can be a reading formation for people who pass through the city making that school knowledge cross its curricular boundaries.
