Impactos da literatura brasileira na conscientização e combate ao racismo: uma análise de 'O mulato' de Aluísio Azevedo

Abstract

Understanding Literature as an artistic manifestation, possessing a socially and culturally important role, this work aims to reflect on the strong impact of racism through the literary work "O Mulato" by Aluísio Azevedo on society. In an effort to overcome pedagogical practices that contribute to a better development of reading in the classroom and to a critical and transformative linguistic education, the research, based on qualitative bibliographic sources, involves a work considered a milestone of the Naturalism literary movement. The theoretical studies were primarily based on: Azevedo (1990); Lopes (2002); Rojo (2009); Goffredo (2016); Precioso (2011); Rocha (2016). As a result of the research, it was observed that teachers can work in an interdisciplinary manner in the classroom, addressing reading practices in literary education to promote a critical view of the implications of racism, empowering students to be agents of change in a more inclusive and equal society.
