A literatura maranhense de autoria feminina em sala de aula: uma proposta de leitura a partir da obra Litania da Velha de Arlete Nogueira com alunos da EJA

Abstract

The present study aims to encourage students to read literature from Maranhão, especially by female authors, through the work Litania da Velha by Arlete Nogueira. The aim is to highlight the relevance of female literary writing in contemporary literature from Maranhão. The methodology used consisted of field research, which initially aimed to obtain information about the knowledge of students about works and authors from Maranhão, through questionnaires. Later, dialogues were proposed about female authors from Maranhão, especially the author and the work mentioned above. The methodological procedures for constructing this study were carried out through biblio-graphic and qualitative-quantitative research. Through the analyses, it was possible to perceive that literature from Maranhão by female authors is still little known by stu-dents. To support this, we used studies by Miranda (2022), Romanelli (2014), Brandão (2021), Correa (2010), Martinho (2018), Todorov (2009), Oliveira (2010), Cosson (2014), among others
