LITERARY EDUCATION IN TEACHER TRAINING: A POSSIBLE WAY TO COMBAT CENSORSHIP OF LITERARY BOOKS

Abstract

The repeated current situations of censorship of literary books motivated the writing of this article whose objective is to defend solid teacher training as a tool to combat censorship of literary books in Brazil. To this end, a brief retrospective of the periods in which there was censorship of books in Brazil is carried out and then the importance of the literary text for the formation of the subject as well as its functions and characteristics are presented. The ideas defended in this article are mainly based on studies by Candido (2011) and Andrueto (2012). As a conclusion, it is possible to point out the persecution suffered by books, especially literary ones, during authoritarian governments and the need for solid initial and continued training that allows teachers with degrees in Literature and Pedagogy to know what a literary text is, its functions and characteristics  as this way they will have sufficient arguments to defend the literary choices made and also to plan and develop classes that promote literary education for their students.
