Our objective is to structure the discourse of agents who have sought to understand and troubleshoot the process of losing symbolic power of literature in the schools. Thus, the analysis of the corpus has prepared speeches in which agents seek to understand this crisis. Considering that culture and education are part of the social representations and are complex structural systems built over time, we conducted an archeology supported the conceptualization of Michel Foucault, in order to understand how this was a tradition appraiser crises. From this plan of action, we trace a path through the speeches of textbooks and school anthologies of Brazilian literary, speeches by education researchers linked to Literary Studies and the speeches of regulators High School. We look, therefore, map the habitus of agents of Brazilian literary field in relation to the fact that the gradual loss of the symbolic power of literature in school. Our hypothesis is that this habitus has prevented agents of teaching of literature – as this teaching is done – recognize that literature has lost its position and its function, i.e. part of its usefulness to the contemporary society. / Nesta investigação analisa-se a crise da literatura no Ensino Médio. O nosso objetivo é a estruturação dos discursos dos agentes que têm procurado entender e solucionar o processo de perda de poder simbólico da literatura no âmbito escolar. Assim, a análise desenvolvida tem como corpus os discursos elaborados nos quais os agentes visam à compreensão dessa crise. Levando em consideração que a cultura e o ensino integram as representações sociais e que essas representações são complexos sistemas estruturais construídos ao longo do tempo, realizamos uma arqueologia, apoiados na conceituação de Michel Foucault, com o intuito de compreender como se constituiu uma tradição avaliadora dessa crise. A partir desse plano de atuação, traçamos um percurso pelos discursos dos manuais didáticos e das antologias escolares da literatura brasileira, pelos discursos de pesquisadores do ensino vinculados aos Estudos Literários e pelos discursos dos órgãos reguladores do Ensino Médio. Procuramos, dessa forma, mapear o habitus dos agentes do campo literário brasileiro em relação ao fato da paulatina perda do poder simbólico da literatura na escola. A nossa hipótese é que esse habitus tem impedido que os agentes do ensino da literatura – tal como esse ensino é realizado – enxerguem que a literatura perdeu a sua posição e as suas funções, isto é, parte da sua utilidade para a sociedade contemporânea.

The financial crisis of 2008 has been the most significant global economic phenomenon of the new century. Sudden and largely unanticipated, this crisis nonetheless marks the latest in a series of financial panics that forms a welldocumented feature of finance capitalism stretching back to the Dutch Tulip Bubble of 1637 and beyond, including such notorious crises as the South Sea Bubble of 1720, the Railway Shares panics of 1837 and 1847, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and Black Monday in 1987. These and other crises have fostered a complex and diverse intellectual response - particularly since the South Sea Bubble - that has included interventions not only from economists and economic historians, but poets, dramatists, novelists, and others. This raises the question of whether the novel’s contribution to our wider understanding of financial crises has been fully acknowledged and assessed. In this thesis, the complex and shifting relationship between literary and non-literary responses to financial crisis is explored through an examination of the ideas of political economists, philosophers, journalists, financiers, and others, including Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Lord Overstone, Walter Bagehot, Herbert Spencer, Thorstein Veblen, Joseph Schumpeter, and J.M. Keynes, that situates their theories alongside readings of novels of financial crisis from the 1850s onward.
