Intertextualidade em Felpo Filva: releitura e desconstrução de contos de fadas por meio da leitura subjetiva

Abstract

This research aimed to foster the development of literary readers in elementary education, more specifically in the 6th grade, through work with the book Felpo Filva, by Eva Furnari (2006). The objective was to analyze the multiple possibilities of subjective reading that the book offers, highlighting how it is constructed through an intertextual dialogue with traditional fairy tales, which are reworked in a critical, creative, and humorous way. By subverting recurring themes—such as the fragility of the princess, the rescuing hero, and predictable endings—and by recreating these narratives in the poetic genre, the work mobilizes humor, irony, and language play as aesthetic strategies that expand modes of meaning-making, fostering the reader’s subjective, interpretative, and imaginative engagement. In sum, this research sought to explore Felpo Filva through intertextuality, literary listening, and rewriting, deepening the understanding of the work by establishing dialogues with other texts and authors. The project was carried out in a public municipal school in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, with a group of 6th-grade students, where I work as a Portuguese Language and Literature teacher. A qualitative and descriptive methodology was employed for the development of the action research, following Thiollent (1996). The results of this study showed that students were able to appropriate practices of subjective reading and literary literacy, mediated by the intertextuality present in Felpo Filva (Furnari, 2006). Regarding the theoretical framework, the study draws, among others, on the works of Rouxel (2013), Langlade (2013), and Jouve (2013) on subjective reading. For literary literacy, it relies on the studies of Cosson (2022) and Paulino (2014); for literary listening, on Bajour (2012); and for creative writing, on Hourdat-Mérot (2019) and Tauveron (2014). Concerning intertextuality, the research is based on the studies of Antônio Candido (1995), Tiphaine Samoyault (2008), and Graça Paulino, Ivete Walty, and Maria Z. Cury (2005).
