As Tramas dos contos de fadas na formação de sujeitos-leitores: (re)construindo sentidos em A Bela adormecida e a Moça tecelã

Abstract

This work is built up from an interdisciplinary approach between literature and psychoanalysis. The link between the both knowledge is the concept of reading, which is sometimes just a background, and sometimes is in the foreground of discussion. Initially, we highlight important questions about the concept of reading, as well as the formation of readers, in order to contribute to this process, having in view, trainers and mediators. In a second stage, we trace a historical overview of traditional and contemporary fairy tales, and we also emphasize their importance not only in the formation of readers, but also as helpers in coping with unconscious conflicts. In order to analyze both contributions we have included the tales Sleeping Beauty, by the Brothers Grimm, and The Weaver Girl, by Marina Colasanti. In the first one, we see the construction of meanings already held by Bettelheim, within psychoanalysis, and expanding our focus of analysis, we achieve possible symbolizations regarding the type of reader that the story suggests. As for the second one, we perform the same movement, coming from our analysis, of psychoanalytic symbolizations, and that which refers to the readers. In this way, it was possible to see relations between literature and psychoanalysis in several aspects, from the intertwined paths of these subjects in the historical context, even the meanings we built from the tales, which relate to reading and life.
