Preferências literárias de adolescentes leitores de meios populares

Abstract

This work is part of the results obtained by a doctoral research, whose objective was to understand the literary experiences of lower class adolescents, in order to highlight the preferences, the processes of construction of their trajectories and their repertoires, as well as the perceptions about the reading from the reader's own perspective. In this section we analyzed the data obtained through one of the steps of the data collection, which was the application of questionnaires. When considering literary preferences, it was established that there is a particularity in how the lower class has access to the works since juvenile literature is immersed in a wider context in which several cultural productions converge and whose circulation is potentialized by networks of sociability that reach different classes. The theoretical framework consists of scholars from different fields of knowledge, which brought a greater understanding of the phenomena analyzed. Among these authors, the contributions of Michèle Petit, Rildo Cosson, Louise Rosenblatt and Regina Zilberman stand out in the field of literary studies, and in the field of sociology, authors such as Bernard Lahire, François Dubet and Danilo Martuccelli. In terms of methodology, the research has as main reference Alda Judith Alves-Mazzotti, Christian Laville, Jean Dionne and Wivian Weller.
