Leitura literária a partir do conto "Meu amigo satanás”, de Pablo Capistrano: uma proposta para o Ensino Fundamental II

Abstract

This study's main objective is to present a literary reading proposal for Elementary School through the short story Meu Amigo Satanás, by the author Pablo Capistrano. Its specific objectives are: to discuss the school and its role in the democratization process of literature; to present an overview of the literacy level of Brazilians at present, in addition to differentiating alphabetization from literacy. The interest in this theme is justified by the fact that, oftentimes, students know how to decode the literary text, but are unable to infer a relationship between this text and the world, that is, with their own reality. Regarding the author Pablo Capistrano, it is worth highlighting his critical and empathetic look. The choice for the text Meu Amigo Satanás was due to the characteristics of the short story genre itself. Literary reading has a major importance as a proposal for the formation of children and teenagers, enabling them to be discerning beings in understanding their own universe and that of others, able to respect and notice the world from the register of their sensitivity and subjectivity. The school environment, although not the exclusive place of development and stimulus to the formation of these habits, as well as the improvement of literary skills, is undoubtedly the privileged space and certainly the bearer of this mission, to which the entire school community must join. The methodology chosen for this discussion was a bibliographic review, based mainly on Freire (2008), Barthes (2002), Souza (2022), Cosson (2014), among others.
