Das lendas aos quadrinhos: a retextualização e o ensino dos tipos de discurso

Abstract

This work has as a main goal to develop the students' ability in dealing with the direct discourse and the indirect discourse using the process of retextualization of indigenous legends into comic books as a means of appropriating this ability. The suggested hypothesis proposes that the retextualization of a textual genre wholly produced in verbal language to a textual genre composed of verbal language and visual language promotes the learning of the types of discourse in an effective way. In order to test the hypothesis, the stages of diagnosis of students' prior knowledge about the subjects involved in the research were established through activities developed in the classroom and application of activities in the form of didactic sequence that resulted in a final production aimed at proving the hypothesis. In order to conduct the research, works of researchers involved in the study of genres such as Bakhtin and Marcuschi, in the study of retextualization, such as Delli'sola and the study of comics such as Cagnin and Moya were used. The adopted methodology used the action research as an actuation way for it fits the general objective of this work.
