LITERATURE AND INTERCULTURALITY

A BASIC RELATIONSHIP TO THE EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT

Abstract

From a dialectical perspective between literature and interculturality, we intend to highlight some aspects necessary for the formation of the reader and highlight, in particular, a brief historical journey of curricular norms that include questions about cultural plurality and literature, above all, the orientation instituted on the obligatoriness of the theme History and Culture American and Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous from the Laws 10.639/2003 and 11.645/2008 and its implications in the school space. To do so, we resorted to Teresa Colomer's contributions, among others, to follow the path of literary education at school and then present the issues that encompass interculturality, resuming some concepts of Cultural and Postcolonial Studies, in addition to the contributions of James Banks on multiculturalism. We found that the listed aspects consider that the literature expands the horizons of human formation; the intercultural perspective permeates the different societies of the globalized world; it is essential to understand, in literary experiences, how the principles of alterity that permeate relationships are constituted, as well as the historical and cultural circumstances also intertwined in these relationships.
