Os gêneros como possibilidade de transformação: e o humor como alternativa pedagógica

Abstract

The present monograph aims to rethink the understandings around mother tongue teaching, from a transformative conception that takes into account the intense work with discursive genres. For this purpose, a reflection centered on the productive use of genres is articulated, as well as on the use of humor as a pedagogical proposal. For this purpose, an analysis of some resources and procedures used by textbooks, included in the National Book and Didactic Material Program (PNLD), was carried out. The focus was mainly on the possibility of demonstrating how genres can be important tools for redefining the teaching-learning process. Along with this, the role of humor as a useful tool in renewing pedagogical practices was also considered. For this purpose, theorists who could support the analysis and thus make the produced reflections even more relevant were used. Among them, Bakthin and Bazerman stand out, in gender studies, and Travaglia, in the understanding of humor.
