Literatura à margem? uma análise da presença do texto Literário no Jornal Lupa e nos seus cadernos pedagógicos

Abstract

This study investigates the place of literature in the Jornal Lupa and its respective Cadernos Pedagógicos (Pedagogical Notebooks), developed by the School for Training and Professional Development of Educators of SEE-MG. These materials, still scarcely explored in academic research, provide a unique opportunity to analyze how literary texts are incorporated into the pedagogical practices of the public school system in the state of Minas Gerais. The research aims to explore different theoretical perspectives on literature teaching, examine the presence and treatment of literary texts in the editions of Jornal Lupa, investigate the pedagogical approaches proposed in the Cadernos Pedagógicos, and, finally, present an educational product aimed at teacher education that contributes to the appreciation of literary education within the context of the New Secondary Education model in Brazil. The methodology adopted is qualitative and exploratory in nature, combining documentary and bibliographic analysis, grounded in the theoretical contributions of authors such as Maria Amélia Dalvi and Rildo Cosson, among others. By articulating theory and practice, the study seeks not only to identify the challenges faced by literature teaching in the New Secondary Education framework, but also to present formative pathways that reaffirm the value of literature in the critical, aesthetic, and cultural development of students. The research revealed that literature occupies a place in the Jornal Lupa and the Cadernos Pedagógicos that is simultaneously present and unstable. Present because it appears recurrently and in diverse ways; unstable because it oscillates between consistent formative experiences and functionalist approaches that reduce it to an auxiliary instrument. Recognizing this ambivalence was fundamental for the development of the educational product, which is conceived not as a rupture, but as an improvement. Organized in the form of a workshop, the educational product consists of a teacher-training proposal aimed at Portuguese Language and Literature teachers in secondary education, focusing on the development of pedagogical practices grounded in the literary texts featured in the Jornal Lupa and its Cadernos Pedagógicos.
