Literatura juvenil na perspectiva dos leitores e dos mediadores

Abstract

This work seeks to promote a discussion about youth literature from two different perspectives: the view of the Portuguese Language teacher and that of the young reader. The proposal seeks to unite reflections present in two ongoing researches - one of masters and one of doctorate - both with a common object, which is the interest in thinking the mediation and reception of youth literature. The reflections are based on interviews with readers and teachers and seek to contrast the places of both, in the process of training the literary reader, in order to understand the intersections present in this process. The attempt to unite the two proposals will bring important contributions about the different perspectives that are involved in the literary reader formation process, especially when one considers that the school is one of the main institutions focused on the formal insertion of the subject in literate culture. Thus, the reflections proposed in this work are intended to contribute to the enhancement of this space of dialogue between mediation and literary reception, given the innumerable possibilities that exist in this vast universe that encompasses the so - called youth literature. Among the theoretical references adopted in the study are: Antonio Candido, who places literature among the rights of the human being, Louise de Rosenblatt, who works in the perspective of school mediation, Rildo Cosson and Graça Paulino, who present the literacy proposal literary, Lígia Cademartori, who proposes the vision directed to the formation of the literary reader from the school, Regina Zilberman and Marisa Lajolo, who bring, with respect to the theme, the conceptual and historical perspective. We seek theoretical support also in authors such as Wolfgang Iser and Robert Scholes, who deal specifically with the literary reception, Teresa Colomer and Ana Díaz-Plaja, who propose reflections on the reading adolescents and Antonio Mendoza Fillola, which deals with the bases for literary education.
