Leitura literária como medida de enfrentamento às consequências da pandemia da COVID-19

Abstract

It is understood that literary reading, in addition to being a source of entertainment and leisure, provides the reader with a series of other benefits, such as a greater exercise of their mental faculties, which includes the interpretative, creative and cognitive fields, a greater depth of his literary critical sense, grammatical and vocabulary improvement, in addition to formalizing a series of debates about certain themes. Amid the pandemic bias created by the spread of Covid-19, it was up to the extension project "Literary Resilience" to encourage reading in the academic community and outside the UTFPR-DV through daily recommendations of books, educational games and lectures, promoting a closer relationship between the project participants and the works indicated, using literary reading as a measure to face problems hitherto never seen on the scale that took place in the midst of the social isolation of the pandemic. The project was conceived by the Library Department of UTFPR-DV, with daily submissions of indications, in addition to other interactions with the participating community.
