A POETIC EXPERIENCE IN THE LEITURA CLANDESTINA PROJECT: INTERPRETATIONS OF CLARICE IN BODIES, VOICES AND PAPERS

Abstract

This article aims to disseminate the extension project Leitura Clandestina, idealized by academics of Literature to honor, in 2020, the centenary of Clarice Lispector, Brazilian writer who transformed the literary scene of her time. In the text, we discuss the reasons that drove the proposal and its achievement: a) the challenge that the pandemic brought to the exercise of teaching, both for teachers and undergraduates; and b) the perception that many teachers of Literature and Portuguese Language consider the writer's texts complex and do not present them to students. The initiative sought to bring children and young people closer to the work of Clarice, providing them with the opportunity to practice reading, improving their technical skills and enjoying its realization as a poetic action that would mobilize them to experience texts by the author, selected by the curators of Leitura Clandestina, which took into account themes related to the human universe common to adults and young people, present in her work. This objective was outlined based on the partnership with admirers of Clarice's work, readers who joined the project and elaborated an interpretative production of her texts, by personal desire or encouraged by their teachers, in the case of school students. Therefore, we argue the relevance of curricularization of academic extension projects, space in which processes linked to research are materialized and that produces experiences that have meaning for users and for those who are producing them, as has happened with the group. Regarding reading, the article reveals that initiatives that favor the active roles of readers, translating their impressions and interpretations into different dimensions of language, validate the protagonism reader of the participants. The proposal culminated in publications on Instagram, where we sought to act as reading mediators, arousing the curiosity and interest of the audience in learning more about Clarice Lispector, her life, her literary works, as well as showing other of her artistic inclinations with the exhibition of her paintings.
