Leitura em ambiente hospitalar: uma experiência com o livro "A culpa é das estrelas"

Abstract

This article analyzes a literary reading experience carried out at a hospital school, a theme that has not been discussed in the curricula of undergraduate courses. The research, based on theoretical assumptions of literary literacy (COSSON, 2006)and qualitative methodological approaches in the educational field, focuses on reading the book A Culpa É das Estrelas. It was a project developed in 2018 with seven students deprived of liberty at a public hospital from the city of Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The intricacies of its realization were recorded in a field diary that allow us to observe the challenges experienced by subjects who read a text very close to their own realities, which led them to adhesion and distance shared discursively in conversation circles. More than the recordings of a successful reading experience, the results reveal the rich and intense world of children and adolescents admitted to hospitals, an invisible reality for almost all teachers.
