Abstract

This study investigates reading as a cultural practice and the library as a possible space for the production of reading narratives of the youngsters of the integrated high school of IFMA - Campus Açailândia. The research is the result of actions developed in a Reading Club, which promotes the relationship of young people with reading practices. The theoretical contributions of the research are initially based on the conceptual discussion about the library and reading in the educational context, based on scholars such as Chartier (1998); Freire (2011, 2017a, 2017b); Koch and Elias (2010); Manguel (2004); Maroto (2012); Silva, E. (2011, 2013); Silva, W. (1999), among others. Then, it discusses the Youth Pathways: the youth, the curriculum and reading practices, based on Arroyo's studies (2001, 2013); Bauman (2013); Bourdieu and Chartier (2011); Ciavatta (2012); Dayrell (2003); Kuenzer (2002); Ramos (2012), among others that contribute to the reflection of the young as a subject who has a historicity, worldviews, values, behaviors that can be resignified through the practice of reading. In the methodological course, it is a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, based on the studies by Lüdke and André (2013) and Minayo (2014). The action research is approached, from the interaction between researcher and subjects, aiming at the reflexive action of those involved in the investigated situations, based on Barbier's propositions (2007). As data collection instruments, the questionnaire, interviews and techniques such as the roaming diary are used. The analytical procedure of the research is based on Discourse Analysis (AD), based on Orlandi's studies (1987, 1988, 2005). The survey results show that all survey respondents identify themselves as readers, with 90% attending the library weekly; 70% of young readers consider reading a pleasure, 20% a necessity and 10% an entertainment. The data also show that 53% of the Club's young people read books in print and 47% in digital format. Due to the growth of reading in digital format, the research presents as a contribution, the development of the educational product “Memories of a Youth Reading Club: from conception to social practices”, an e-book that aims to encourage reading and the formation of readers. Regarding the educational product, the results of the evaluation and validation showed that readers consider the e-book developed as a resource with easy access, handling and interactivity. Finally, it reveals that young people consider reading as a cultural practice for the constitution of the subject and for the understanding of the world. And it reveals the importance of the library for the historical and socio-cultural formation of the young reader.
