THE PRIVATE LIBRARY FOR READING TRAINING BY ELIANA MARTINS IN THE CHILDREN'S BOOK O PROFESSOR DE PORTUGUÊS ENLOUQUECEU DE VEZ!

Abstract

In her work O professor de português enlouqueceu de vez!, the writer Eliana Martins offers an interesting reading experience that brings together the presence of metafiction and intertextual play. From this observation, based on theorists such as Julia Kristeva (1974), Jenny Laurent (1979), Gérard Genette (2006; 2009) and Tiphaine Samoyault (2008), this paper intends to address these two main aspects that stand out in the plot. As a methodology, the qualitative method was used through analytical-bibliographical review.  By resorting to metalanguage and intertextuality, it is noted a narrative that is concerned with the formation of children and young readers, with the aim of expanding their literary repertoire by motivating curiosity and discoveries of new books and characters, mainly by recognize the need to establish relationships with other

texts from different cultural contexts. It is concluded, therefore, that Martins reproduces the dynamics of the game Caia fora se puder as if it were the process of literary reading. In this way, through playfulness, characters and the reader of this work by Eliana Martins are immersed, at the same time, in the game and in the fictional sphere. It can be seen, then, that the writer's intention is to establish that reading as a game requires the active participation of those who read, favoring discoveries and knowledge, in addition, of course, to entertaining and enabling aesthetic appreciation.
