| Abstract | |
This dissertation comes to the approaches to literary works of Graciliano Ramos, Jose Lins do Rego, Jorge Amado, Rachel de Queiroz and José Américo de Almeida in textbooks of Portuguese produced between 1944 and 1987. Therefore, it was necessary to consider the changes in the core of the vulgate of this school subject in this period, dominated by the teaching of literature. This required the consideration of the exchange established between the school discipline and literary criticism. The documentary corpus of this research primarily comprises sixteen textbooks published after the changes set by the Capanema reform. In association with them, other documents were considered, mainly the pedagogical programs and proposals set by the federal government and the State of Sao Paulo for the school discipline. Such programs and proposals have been developed in an educational context that was reconsidered (Capanema Reform, LDB of 1961 and of 1971). For a more comprehensive investigation of this didactic production, we researched the formative, professional and intellectual trajectory of the textbooks authors and also the configuration of the editorial battle for the secondary teaching market. One of the studied aspects is the transformation of the literary criticism, which turned academic and developed new bibliographic references. Bittencourts, Chervels and Choppins propositions were the theoretical references. After the investigation on these textbooks, we could observe that the approach to those literary works was made through an interpretive scheme of regional base, as an addendum in the vulgate of the subject. There was a period of oscillation of the vulgate and its criteria for the approach of literary works: an indefinition between the regional and temporal criterion in the production of textbooks in the early 1970s. During that same period, however, new textbook titles were being drafted and when they were published, in 1975, set a new vulgate for the subject, a new interpretive scheme and a new position to those literary works: 2nd phase of the modernist prose. The approaches of the works of individual writers were also examined and we could realice that the emphasis was given to the dialogue with the Brazilian reality, relegating to an underdeveloped background the properly literary dimension of these works, the reasons for their literary value.
