Hogwarts na escola: a influência das sagas nas práticas da escrita

Abstract

This research focuses on the analysis of books written by students of a State School, located in the city of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, according to the bakhtinian perspective of language, especially with regard to the style in the construction of school writing. The students productions, in the position of authors, are the result of a project to encourage reading, developed by the Literacy teacher in the Programa Mais Educação and it very much resembles students' literary choices, in this case sagas and best sellers such as Harry Potter, Twilight and Percy Jackson. The study shows how children's and youth books can be used in the classroom, in view of students choice, in order to awaken creativity, interest for reading and writing, in the search for subjective experiences with the language. The analysis, of a qualitative nature, is guided by Ginzburg's (1989) indiciary paradigm, searching for clues and singularities in the students' writings, taking into account the study "the mennocchian reading" developed by Cunha (2009). In addition, coupled with methodology, the data analysis was based on the study of literacy (STREET, 2014; FREIRE 1987), discursive genres (BAKHTIN, 1998, 2003), school knowledge (GOULART, 2003, 2010) and ritualized uses of writing (ROCKWELL, 1985, CORRÊA, 2004). Thus, the research was based on the search of the understanding of the way students-authors create their narratives, revealing knowledge of several spheres associated with traits of style and subjectivity.
