Ler por prazer no ritmo do cordel

Abstract

This monograph deals with discourses about cordel literature as one of the means to aid in the teaching / learning process in the construction of a student reader, bringing discourses about the importance of reading as well as contents covered in the brochures, and also brings some suggestions of work with the same in class. As a theoretical basis sources were used as Pinheiro (2018), which addresses different ways of working with cordel literature; Luyten (1983) and Cascudo, (2012) who conceptualize and approach extremely relevant aspects about leaflets and popular literature in general. Candido (1980) in his discourse on literature and society, Stuart Hall (2006) as a theoretical basis for discursion on identity and culture reflected in cordel literature, among others. The work was divided in three parts, the first one brings discourses about popular and scholarly literature, addressing the characteristics of the same as the importance of both for the teaching / learning process, the second part focuses on the literature of its origin and characteristics and cultural aspects, bringing some suggestions for use in the classroom, and how the leaflets can awaken the taste for reading. With this we could see that the incentive to work with the cordel in activities focused on teaching / learning emphasizing importance and richness as a living and changeable culture is an exciting and pleasurable activity.
