O gauchismo de Carlos Drummond de Andrade: uma perspectiva para a formação do leitor literário

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect upon the relationship between literature and reader formation. The analysis corpus is comprised of the opus Alguma Poesia, the first book by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, as well as two literature didactic manuals. It is on the interest of this text to investigate how poetry from Drummond is portrayed in literature schoolbooks and how his gauche style, characterized by the constant misalignment between the poet's sense of reality and the world around him (SANT‟ANNA, 1992), may be a key feature for us to think about literature reader formation. From the discussion about the poet's critical fortune – Villaça (2006), Arrigucci Jr. (2002; 2010), Wisnik (2005), among others – it tries to understand the gauche perspective in Drummond's poetics within Alguma Poesia, as well as to glimpse traits from the Drummondian gauche-ism as elements that may contribute for thinking about the act of reading on literature reader formation, from the considerations of Pinheiro (2006; 2007), Rangel (2005; 2007), Frederico e Osakabe (2004), Leite (1983). Therefore, this paper tries to investigate in which way the misalignment of the gauche can strike a dialogue with a certain perspective about literature reading, especially with the musings of education philosopher Jorge Larrosa (2002; 2003; 2005; 2010), mainly the ones that address literature reading as an experience for subject formation and transformation.
