Prática leitora, produção escrita e o estudo da identidade na pós-modernidade, nos minicontos da obra Hora de alimentar serpentes, de Marina Colasanti

Abstract

In this research, the study of identity in post-modernity was carried out in some mini-stories of the work Hora de alimentar serpentes by Marina Colasanti, through reading, production and reception.In this regard, the proposed work explored some subthemes, such as the loss of reference and the non-rigid identity that characterizes the constitution of the subject in these modern times, the massification of individuals, the representation of various social roles and the different patterns related to gender issue. Moreover, in a scenario of pandemic crisis, the issue of loneliness was addressed, the result of social isolation that has accentuated new paradigms of coexistence between the individual and his peers in contemporaneity, modifying identities, modes and ways of being. The genre chosen was mini-story, due to its capacity to project indexes and catharsis and to require the reader to participate in the construction of the text's meanings. Thus, it is expected that the reading practice of mini-stories, which require a reception performed by the students for the work to be complete, will stimulate the students' interest in literary reading. The written production of mini-stories was addressed as a proposition of this research, given the importance of the student's protagonism as a writer of various genres, so that they can exercise their autonomy, criticism and rethink their value and place in society.
