O Canto de Palmyra: uma roseira em sala de aula

Abstract

Studies on literacy practices have been progressing more and more since the last decades. According to Paulino and Cosson (2009), literacy is “a set of social practices” in the construction of meanings of the world. Candido (2000) already treated this social dimension in the literature, when he proposes that literature is seeing as a social practice developed around subject’s readers, authors or books. Thus, literary literacy entails the appropriation of literature as the construction of continuous meanings renewed with each reading activity. As one of the proposals of literary literacy is to bring the reader closer to the production, maintenance and transformation of lite-rature in his community. The objective of this article is to discuss the process of schooling of norte-rio-grandense Literature in basic education as a requirement for access of works literary works that integrate the cultural heritage of the state in the school context, with an emphasis on the poetry of Palmyra Wanderley, whose production occurred in the first decades of the twentieth century. For this, we will point out methodological strategies that contribute to the teaching / le-arning process, with a view to the formation of reading subjects who see in poetry an important tool for human formation.
