Literaturas indígenas na aprendizagem da educação básica: desafios e perspectivas

Abstract

The objective of this research is to work with Indigenous Literatures to support Law 11,645/2008, which instituted the teaching of Indigenous Culture in Basic Education in public and private schools. The realization of this proposal should contribute so that the students of Basic Education, especially those from the Second Segment of Elementary School, feel encouraged to read indigenous narratives, thus breaking eternal prejudices and distances from these texts. Thus, it is expected that the results serve not only to awaken the student to these Literatures, but also to break the paradigm that this reading is not attractive to children, young people and adolescents, promoting the formation of multicultural and multiliterate readers. It is also interesting to understand this production as Literature, of aesthetic quality, beyond “folklorism” based on the production of indigenous authors themselves and the non-hegemonic theory that helps reception with Janice Thiél, Ana Piñon, Pedro Paulo Funari, Graça Graúna and others. These readings can be performed by the student as long as there is strategy and planning, mediated by the teacher who sees reading and writing as a continuous process.
