A literatura que gagueja e a experiência ética na educação

Abstract

Recognizing the growing discredit that involves literature as a discipline, as well as its lack of characterization with its integration with Portuguese language content, as proposed by the BNCC (2018), the present article proposes to question about its educational role and about their ability to provide an ethical experience. From this, we ask ourselves: what can literature do today? Would it carry an essential function in itself? How does it relate to the ethical, human and social dimensions? The analysis of such questions leads us not only to consider, with Antonio Candido, that the enjoyment of literature constitutes a universal right, but also to recognize it as a great ally for the realization of a smaller education, according to the proposal of Sílvio Gallo . If literature, as a bridge of access to the other, can enable subjects to take a conscious position, both in relation to themselves, in order to become protagonists of their own existences, as well as the social environment in which they are inserted, their importance for the educational field is crucial, as here a collective task is announced.
