SUMMARY:

Books and the literary world have been increasingly in the background in a reality where videos and images are on focus. Since school is mainly the area where the relationship with literature is built, it becomes essential to rethink its teaching, in a way that this bond shall be established in solid, long and pleasurable bases. For these means, this work proposes the dramatization of texts which were previously selected and experienced in a classroom as a way to the literary literacy. In this sense, the specific goals are assumed as: to allow students to be in contact with the universe of books beyond the school perspective, aiming to promote literary literacy; to verify theater’s potential in the process of transformation of students into subject-readers while highlighting them as subject-actors; to demonstrate that literature, as every art, is a reflex of concrete world – focusing on race and ethnic relations – since this study goes beyond literary matters and tries to debate, under an afrocentric and antiracist bias, the experience of blacks in society and in literature. For this reason, it is proposed a full reading of the collection of tales Leite do Peito, by Geni Mariano Guimarães; the adaptation of narratives for the dramatic text and its later enactment. The book was chosen for its aesthetic and representative character, since Guimarães, an important contemporary black author, winner of awards such as Jabuti and Adolfo Aizen, narrates – through eleven tales – her experiences since childhood, including situations of prejudice which she has been through. Regarding the literary field, this work is founded, primarily, on studies by Teresa Colomer and Luiz Silva Cuti. As for the base of the theatrical practice, works by Augusto Boal, mainly those about “Teatro do Oprimido”, and by Abdias Nascimento, with the legacy of “Teatro Experimental do Negro” were adopted. Practices proposed by Rildo Cosson and José Sanchis Sinisterra were used as support for the choice of methods for the proposal of practical application. The research, having a qualitative character, was developed aiming for students on the 8° grade of Middle School. Due to the social distancing needed while the New Coronavirus pandemic scenario – which matched with the development period of this work – and to the suspension of classes on campus, it was not possible to apply the practical proposal. Consequently, there will not be a presentation of results. However, it is hereby presented, in a detailed manner, the application proposal as well as expected results, in hopes, in a near future with a propitious context, it can be put into practice.
