Apanhe-os antes de caírem: o potencial transformador da experiência estética em adolescentes no contexto escolar

Abstract

In this research, we seek to investigate the ways in which reading, writing and the arts can provide experiences of transformation of the subject, to extend possibilities of interpretation of reality, in order to make it more diverse, rich and complex. To understand how the process of elaboration of the lived experience through the mediated reading and creation of fictional texts takes place, were selected some episodes lived next to students of thirteen and fourteen years old in the school. From the presentation of cultural objects in proposals with reading and writing, an atmosphere of trust is created, favorable to the creative gesture of young people. Some samples of authorial productions from former students allow the reader to see how distress can be worked out in creative productions, provided that young people are offered malleable means to which they can imprint their personal style and through which they can express their singularity
