When the wolf speaks: narratives of an event between language, literature, and life
Abstract
This proposal is linked to doctoral research developed in partnership with the Center for Literacy and Portuguese Language Teaching Studies and Research (NEPALP/UFSC), and aims to reflect on the teaching of Portuguese Language based on the dialogical Bakhtinian perspective. The experience, carried out with a 6th-grade class of Elementary School II at EEB José Maria Cardoso da Veiga/SC, integrates teaching, research, and community engagement, having as its guiding axis the work Este é o Lobo by Alexandre Rampazo. The objective was to promote reading and text production practices based on the conception of language as a social, ethical, aesthetic, and responsive practice. Anchored in Bakhtin (2003, 2010), Geraldi (1984, 1997, 2010), and Larrosa (2002, 2014), we understand the class as a language event and narrative as a form of processing experience. The study highlights the inseparability of language and literature and advocates for the practice of integrated linguistic/semiotic analysis (PAL/S) within literary reading as a means of expanding students' discursive abilities. Such dialogical reading allowed students to reinterpret stereotypes, practice otherness, and recognize themselves as subjects of language and culture. Thus, we understand this as contributing to the formation of the reading individual and the consolidation of a critical education.
