Co-authorship. Aesthetic identification. Literature reading. Inferential production.
In this study, we focus on co-authorship in the literature teaching in Elementary Education. We assume that co-authorship enhances the reader's responsive attitude in filling in the blanks, exploring the textual structure in an inferential way. In this sense, we pretend to describe the co-authorship process of elementary school children in relation to the literary text. Specifically, we seek to show how reading participation is effective based on productive action in relation to literary reading; apprehend the modes of aesthetic identification and positioning of the beginning reader through his contribution to the literary work; and to analyze how the reader proceeds with the literary text by filling in the fictional voids. Our study is of a qualitative nature with the practice of intervention. It was developed in a state public school in Natal/RN-Brasil, having as subjects children from a class of 5th grade of Elementary School, aged between 10 and 12 years. We take as a theoretical reference the studies by Amarilha (2004; 2013), Bakhtin (2011), Coelho (2001), Culler (1999), Eco (1994; 2011), Jauss (1992; 1994; 2002), Iser (1996; 1999), Vigotsky (1998), Zilberman (1989), Bronckart (2007) and Yunes (1995). The fieldwork included five reading and retelling sessions, structured according to the methodology of scaffolding (GRAVES & GRAVES, 1995), which comprises the stages of pre-reading, reading and post-reading. Our corpus consists of the production of denouement prepared by the learners in collaboration with the literary text, with content analysis as a perspective of reading data through the inferential approach (BARDIN, 2011). We conclude that the condition of co-author is assumed by the apprentices through the filling of fictional voids and inferential contributions, influenced by the identification modalities caused by the texts.
