The teaching of literature in basic education: a look at New High School
school, reading, literature, education, Novo Ensino Médio.
Literature is a complex process which permeates all human experience. Discussions about the teaching of literature are extremely important in the current parameter. Recent changes in the final stage of basic education and the lack of protagonism of this in the curriculum of the "Novo Ensino Médio" present difficulties and distortions in the face of social reality and students' perceptions, neglecting reflective and humanistic training. Presenting "literature teaching" is an erroneous practice, since the conception of literature demands transversality and integrality with all areas of knowledge and its participation in the formative itineraries of the "New High School", not being, therefore, called a formal discipline, but rather a subjectivity of knowledge integrated with others.
