A genuinidade de textos literários em livros didáticos de Língua Portuguesa

Abstract

The proposed work aims to reflect on the reliability of literary texts as they occur in certain Portuguese Language Textbook. Thus, our corpus is constituted of twelve literary texts transcribed in Portuguese language textbooks, adopted in schools of elementary and middle. We analyze specifically the authenticity of such texts, following the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Textual Criticism, science whose essential character is the preservation of written culture. Our investigation was based on the corpus is eminently comparative analysis of texts in comparison with the published texts by writers. We focus on observing the structural and / or lexicogrammatical and therefore semantic speech transcription of these texts. Allied to these issues, we will discuss about the inclusion of literature in the school curriculum, discussing the process of didactization the literary text and the consequences resulting from this act. Data analysis revealed the existence of many differences between literary texts published in its sphere of origin and the texts inserted in textbooks. We note that the texts were violated in order to fulfill the purposes of didactization, disregarding not only the author of the literary text but also the reader in training.
