Abstract
Resumo Este artigo discute a importância da leitura nos processos de alfabetização e letramento. Para isso, analisou-se o tratamento dado à essa prática pelo educador Paulo Freire na perspectiva teórico-metodológica da fenomenologia aliada ao existencialismo cristão, expressa na obra A importância do ato de ler: em três artigos que se completam. Freire foi o defensor da “palavramundo”, compreendida como a inter-relação entre o alfabetizar e o letrar. Na análise proposta, utilizaram-se autores que dialogam com Freire, entre eles, Mikhail Bakhtin e Magda Becker Soares. Este artigo também apresenta alguns reflexos das contribuições do educador para a efetivação da “palavramundo”, bem como aproximações e distanciamentos entre a fenomenologia de Paulo Freire e o materialismo histórico de Karl Marx.
Highlights
When we talk about education, it is impossible to disregard the importance of educational theories in the understanding of the concepts of man, society, and knowledge which have traversed the history of humankind from the Middle Ages to our times
We will analyze the emancipatory education defended by Paulo Reglus Neves Freire (1921-1997)—inserted in a broad process of adult literacy permeated by reading—in one of his works, A importância do ato de ler: em três artigos que se completam (1989)4 [The importance of the act reading: in three articles which complete each other]
All the learning acquired from his trajectory in Brazil, combined with his experiences in the activities he performed during his exile5, especially with the project of youth and adult literacy develop in the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, located in the Gulf of Guinea in the African continent, underpinned the texts composing the book A importância do ato de ler: em três artigos que se completam and Freire’s political-pedagogical thought
Summary
When we talk about education, it is impossible to disregard the importance of educational theories in the understanding of the concepts of man, society, and knowledge which have traversed the history of humankind from the Middle Ages to our times. Leading individuals to the responsible exercise of citizenship has been one of the greatest challenges of contemporaneity From this perspective, we will analyze the emancipatory education defended by Paulo Reglus Neves Freire (1921-1997)—inserted in a broad process of adult literacy permeated by reading—in one of his works, A importância do ato de ler: em três artigos que se completam (1989)4 [The importance of the act reading: in three articles which complete each other]. It is from this perspective of unicity between personal, educational, and professional lives that we will discuss one of his works, A importância do ato de ler: em três artigos que se completam
