Literary Literacy and Carolina Maria de Jesus in teacher training

Abstract

We aim to present the Carolina Maria de Jesus Literary Reading Circle, an extension project (FACED/UFC), whose objective is to collectively read literary works with themes/authorship of black people, LGB+, women, indigenous people and PWD, intending to foster literary reading in teachers in initial and continuing education following the Freirean culture circle model, the studies of Cosson (2020) and Bajour (2012).This is a qualitative research, with data from the project approved by the public notice 15 (PREX/UFC) that characterizes the device, data from a questionnaire prepared for the selection of twenty internal and external components of the institution, and evaluation of the activities of the first semester of activities. As a result, the formative power of the collective reading of literary works is perceived, fostering multiple interpretations and repertoire that can help teachers to position themselves in moments of choices of collections, authors and works in the exercise of literary reading mediation, in addition to racial and inclusive literacy in the emancipatory perspective.
