Pratiques narratives : quelle place pour l'extrascolaire ?

Abstract

Narrative practices : what place for the extracurricular ? Francis GROSSMANN, Université Stendhal, Grenoble III -LIDILEM (E.A. 609). Taking into account extra curricular narrative practices, specially in the infant school, is seen here in the perspective of a collaboration between the educational actors (particulary parents and teachers). The work presented originates on the postulate according to which the development of children's narrative ability goes through a better integration of narrative repertories resulting from the different fields of the social world, as well as through a diversified consideration of different modes of transmission of fictionnal story. Starting from an analysis based on the status of the art of story telling in the social field, we offer a few characteristics of the school repertory essentially bookish, partially eut off from the oral tradition. Next foreseen are different possible to and fro motions between the narrative practices in and out of school. Finally, as an illustration is presented a collaborative approach which occured for 2 years between infant school classes (about ten classes from the Grenoble area) and parents, of which we show the interest but also the limitation in respect to the problématique of this issue.
