Summary: This academic research looks forward to analysing the reading of the image
book Cena de rua (1994), by writer and illustrator Ângela Lago, in a school
classroom, aiming at theoretical and practical aspect for the construction of
reading experiences in contemporaneity. For that matter, the research finds its
reason as it seeks to take the reader beyond the image encoding, making them
reflect about the world around. This said, the work was developed in a
Municipal School in Vitória, with the final years of the basic school. We chose to
work with a group of six students to have a better data transcription, due to the pandemic in the country. When it comes to methods, the research was
developed in two phases: the first is the bibliographic-documental study for a
contextualization of historical facts about children and youths literature,
illustrated books and image books, the authors life and work, classroom
reading mediation, and readers development. The second phase is the action-
research, that focus on the field work, in which, assisted by the use of a form,
the reading habits, book preferences, the current knowledge about the relations between image and book, and also the reading mediation of Cena de Rua, in the classroom, were all analysed. The theoretical references are: Maria
Alexandre de Oliveira (2008), Luís Camargo (1998); Lucia Santaella (1988,
2005, 2012); Ana Claudia de Oliveira (2004), Mikhail Bakhtin (2014), Donis A.
Dondis (1991), Regina Zilberman e Marisa Lajolo (1993), Maria Lúcia Costa
Rodrigues (2012), Graça Ramos (2020), and others. The investigation outcome
shows that a) the interest in the picture book genre by many writers and
illustrators has made the production of these works grow significantly in the last forty years; b) there was an increase in studies in academic research; c) growth in the presence of picture books in a large part of the collections - libraries of Brazilian public schools; d) that the picture book should and can be mediated in the classroom, as it is an object that provokes diverse readings, stimulates imagination and reflection regarding the content and form, that is, the plot being narrated; e) it was also found that, through the questionnaire on reading experiences, the participating subjects have a stronger connection with best-sellers, the so-called products of mass culture and how much this will reflect in the reading of the street scene picture book; that they do not know or have experience with picture books, that the critical behavior of the participating students around the literary picture book carries many deficiencies and made them understand that working with the arts (literature, music, cinema, painting, sculpture) within the territory of knowledge that is the classroom, it continues to
be, perhaps, in many cases, neglected. In this perspective, the research
recognizes that the appropriation and exploration of the literary text in the
classroom contribute to the development of readers, in everyday school life and
out of it.
