Abstract

The research described here is linked to the Research Group "Linguagens na Educação" (FEUSP - Faculdade de Educação de São Paulo) and focuses on literary writing practices in the middle school context. We want to focus, at first, on whether these practices occur and what are their circumstances - occurrence or non-occurrence. Our objective is to propose a discussion about the teaching of literary writing in High School, assuming that this specific teaching is more dedicated to the basic fundamental level. Thus, we intend to reflect on the importance of writing for the formation of the subject and their cognitive abilities, thinking about their constitution as author. To conjecture literary writing as part of the teaching of Language and Literature means that the practice of writing carries values that can subsidize different links with learning. Writing ceases to be content restricted to the technical dimension or to the initial years of school to assume a social, affective, aesthetic, cultural and political sense. The work will be supported by the Vygotsky (1987, 1988, 1999), Catherine Tauveron (2005, 2007, 2014), Christine Barré-De Miniac (2015), Roger Chartier (2001, 2002), among others. We aim at a research of ethnographic character, whose main intention is to understand the processes and the relations that configure the activities of literary writing in the school scope. Therefore, we propose to carry out this research in two schools in the city of São Paulo, one public (state) and one private. (AU)
