Sequência didática: Percurso literário de três autoras negras no brasil — um olhar sobre Maria Firmina dos Reis, Carolina Maria de Jesus e Conceição Evaristo

Abstract

The dissertation presents, as an educational product, an expanded didactic sequence aimed at the third year of high school, with the central theme being the representation of Black women in contexts of social, economic and historical marginalization. The main objective of the proposal is to promote critical and emancipatory literary literacy through the reading and analysis of works written by Black Brazilian women authors, integrating literature, art, cinema and music in an interdisciplinary approach. The educational product consists of a sequence of planned lessons, structured around the following literary works: Olhos d’Água by Conceição Evaristo, Quarto de Despejo by Carolina Maria de Jesus, and the short story “A Escrava” by Maria Firmina dos Reis. These works are complemented by intertextual and multimodal resources such as the film Hidden Figures, the painting Mulata in a White Dress, and the song A Carne. The focus of the activities is on developing skills in critical reading, historical awareness, and appreciation of Black women’s narratives. The central goal of the sequence is to give visibility to the literary production of Black women and to question the mechanisms of exclusion and resistance experienced by these characters. Furthermore, the dissertation engages with theoretical foundations of literary literacy, discourse analysis, and studies on intersectionality and Black feminism, demonstrating coherence between pedagogical practice and theoretical foundation by highlighting studies that guided the construction of the educational product in the first two chapters and how it was applied in the classroom. Thus, the educational product presented in this dissertation constitutes a proposal that seeks to present literature teaching in a critical way, centered on the appreciation of silenced voices and the civic education of students.
