THE SHORT STORY "DESENREDO", BY JOÃO GUIMARÃES ROSA AS AN EXERCISE IN LITERARY READING, IN HIGH SCHOOL, IN BASIC EDUCATION

Abstract

The article has as its main objective a reading exercise in the form of a literary workshop, at the high school level, of basic education. Thus, the  desire is an approximation of the student to the universe of creation of Guimarães Rosa, sometimes considered as a hermetic author and, because of this characteristic, is still little explored at this stage of teaching. For this, the corpus chosen was the short story "Desenredo" and the methodology developed was the rescue of certain types of reading as well as the execution of activities a little beyond questions of textual understanding/interpretation. Therefore, the expected results, after the development and, consequently, the conclusion of such activities, reverberate in an analysis of the relevance of the “Rosean” writing present in textbooks and how this printed resource can be used as a complementary tool with regard to the construction of a literary approach.

Keywords: Literary reading; Literary workshop; Textbook; Guimarães Rosa.
