Com quantas cores se narra uma saudade? o narrador infantil e a leitura do real em um texto de Lygia Bojunga

El carácter pedagógico de la literatura infantil ha servido, por largo tiempo, como factor de desprestigio del género, ya sea por la imposición de paradigmas comportamentales advenidos de una postura autoritaria de los adultos, subyacente al texto, ya sea por haber minimizado la preocupación artística del lenguaje. Este artículo analiza de que manera la narrativa O meu amigo pintor, de Lygia Bojunga, supera ese modelo, al instaurar un equilibrio entre el respeto al universo en formación de los niños y los medios lingüísticos que representan el universo infantil desde la mirada de la propia creatura, facultándole a ella la elaboración de sus significados.

O discurso sobre leitura na esfera escolar e sua relação com o discurso científico

In this paper, the discourse about reading skills uttered by teachers and students is analyzed. The analyses are supported by the Bakhtin’s studies concerning the discourse that necessarily consider the meaning affected by the sphere of the activity in which the enunciation occurs. The concrete utterance, in this perspective, has its identity in relation to the social values that constitute the conscience of the author and in the ideologies that materialize in the discourse, which is always marked by the constitutive relation between the other person and me. The results indicate the following conclusions: the common sense discourse about reading appears in the answers of the analyzed teachers, which consider their students like bad readers, these professionals also do not recognize the technology as a source of reading for their students. Thus, reading that interests the students is not acceptable in school. The symbolic violence practiced by school appears at the moment that the teacher does not consider the student’s language and the readings that interest them; it also appears when the teacher prevents their students to have new readings; moreover, reading is always unique as it is neither new, nor unrepeatable, so it the plurality of meanings is impossible.
