No ensino literário dos “romances regionalistas” [Séc. 19 e 20], o ensino e a aprendizagem sobre interior, sertão, norte, seca e nordeste

Abstract

This present research is an enunciative-discursive analysis of the meanings of "Sertão", "Nordeste", "Semiárido", "Norte", "interior" and "seca" in two chapters of high school textbooks, entitled "O romance regionalista. O teatro romântico” for the eleventh grade, and “O romance de 1930”, for the twelfth grade, distributed in public state schools in the city of Delmiro Gouveia, in the hinterland of Alagoas. Both are part of the collection “Português – contexto, interlocução e sentido”, by Editora Moderna, authored by Maria Luiza M. Abaurre, Maria Bernadete Abaurre and Marcela Pontara, from 2010. This study aims to understand how the meanings of “Nordeste”, “Sertão”, “Norte”, “interior”, in these two analyzed chapters, are being proposed through school advertisements. The study has as its guiding question: What meanings are proposed by the authors of the chapters of textbooks on “Sertão”, “Nordeste”, “seca”, “Norte” and “interior” as proposals for teaching regionalist literature? Therefore, the research is carried out through Applied Linguistics (AL), in a transdisciplinary, interpretive perspective, about Bakhtinian theories about the “concrete utterance” and dialogism. From the analyses, it is concluded that the proposed meanings in utterances that are mobilized in the two didactic chapters analyzed bring a simplistic and stereotyped notion about the Sertão/Nordeste/Semiárido region in their lessons for teaching literature in Portuguese Language classes. The studies were carried out based on the theories of authors and authors such as Albuquerque Júnior (1997, 2009, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021), Santos Filho (2021, 2022), Fontes (2019), Moita Lopes (2014), Fabrício ( 2006), Signorini (1998), Mussalim (2020), Miotello (2005), Santos Filho (2012a, 2012b), Grillo (2006), Esteves (2014, 2016), Goulart (2009), Mendonça (2021), Terra ( 2021) and Santos (2021), among others.
