O blog na escola: (Re)significando a escrita pelo hipertexto

Abstract

This paper discusses the relationship between a didactic proposal of literacy and the use of technology in order to work the written production of digital blogs in the sphere of cultural cinema activity as a strategy to increase literacy practices of 8th. grade students of a public school located in Marechal Deodoro city, Alagoas. The choice to work with blogs as a new form of inter-communication not reducible to more traditional school relations was a strategy to bring about changes in discursive positioning of students with regard to the image of the standard and the representation of the teacher as higher instance of power, that, within the limits of this work constituted the research problem. For the intervention work, I have drawn resorted to an ethnographic approach in the education context together with notions of dialogical conception of Bakhtin's language and his Circle. The final production of blogs caught my attention to the presence of discursive and linguistic aspects much more complex than students normally used in their production out of the digital environment, namely: more autonomous choice of using different genres in their blogs; social identity constitution by style and establishing authorship in tension identity / otherness; resizing of social roles marked in the classroom, retextualization processes choices, as well as compliance in the use of oral and written forms. The results also showed that the use blogs contributed to the establishment of discursive displacements both the teacher and the students regarding the subject of notion, in Bakhtin sense, single language as an ideological valuation in the classroom.
