A crônica, o leitor e a produção de subjetividade na sociedade contemporânea.

Abstract

This dissertation focuses the processes of construction of meaning that involve the literary chronicle and its meaning for the formation of the reader’s subjectivity in the contemporary society, through the description, interpretation, discussion and reflection of auto narratives which were produced by first year high school students of a federal public school in Santa Maria – RS, after the reading of a chronicle by Luis Fernando Veríssimo. In an autopoietic perspective, the text productions of the research subjects show that the literature can be considered a potential trigger for new configurations of the human being, in a sense that the literary text reading can lead the reader into the reflection, critics and the subsequent transformation of his/her relation with him/herself and with the others. In order to do our research, we have based our studies on the theories by Vigotski, Larrosa, Bruner, Petit, Maturana and Varela, Connely and Clandinin, among others, who approach the topic of this work.
