Leitura, Literatura e ensino: a literatura de temática lésbica como um território assombrado

Abstract

his thesis entitled Reading, Literature and Teaching: Lesbian-themed Literature as a Haunted Territory brings an approach to lesbian-themed literature, academic studies and the teaching and research of lesbian-themed literature in the undergraduate course of Letters of Federal University of Tocantins during the years 2009 to 2019. This research aimed to show how, despite the consolidated presence of the lesbian theme in Brazilian literature, there is still little interest from critical academic studies around works that address this theme; to evaluate how the presence of this theme occurs in the curricular components of Brazilian literature, in the course plans and in the TCCs of Brazilian literature defended over five years (2014-2019) of the Letters/UFT course. The methodologies used were bibliographic research, for the first stage of the thesis referring to literary analysis and theoretical foundation; and a case study for the second phase of the research referring to the analysis of Resume Components, as well as the analysis of the course plans and TCCs of Brazilian literature defended. The result of the research showed that academic studies still do not dedicate themselves with depth and constancy to works and authors that address this theme, in addition to proving the hypothesis that, in the course of Letters/UFT, the teaching and research of Brazilian literature lesbian-themed are still incipient, corroborating with a small approach of literary studies and academic criticism of lesbian-themed literature.
