READING CIRCLE IN DIALOGUE ON EJA WITH THE URBAN LANDSCAPE OF VICTORIA: AN EXPERIENCE OF ALTERNATION FROM THE “CARAMEL ROSE” AND THE “PIETÀ DO LIXO”

Abstract

his text aims to present an experience with the “Reading Circle”, carried out at EMEF Admardo Serafim de Oliveira, with the students of the conclusive second segment of the EJA, with the purpose of training readers, whose critical posture before the text is evidenced both in their own life and in the community in which they are inserted; For this we consider Freire (1987; 2001). For literary reading we adopted the short story “Rosa Caramela” by Mia Couto (1998) which unfolded in the interaction of students with the urban landscape of Vitória, from which they identify the “Pietà sculpture of garbage”. We start from the concept of Carlos (2009) to the approach on the urban landscape. To present the considerations about the theme of otherness and identify aspects related to it in the tale, we rely on Bakhtin and his Circle (2018). In addition to these references, we use the theoretical conceptions of literature and the right to it of Candido (2011), and the reading circle, with regard to listening, of Bajour (2017). This theoretical path is powerful to contribute to the formation of the literary reader in the EJA. The methodology used consisted of weekly meetings with the students, and as a consequence, we perceived the need to include the use of the city spaces in the reading circle, considering it a collective territory that is present in the construction of the subject’s identity, and may then be present in the teaching of literary reading. We understand that the reading of the world begins by the city, the tool used to provide such an experience can be effected through reading circles.
