Nous soutenons que l’enseignement de la lecture littéraire, au lycée et au cégep, peut contribuer à former des sujets lecteurs divers, c’est-à-dire des sujets pluriels, changeants et contradictoires, situés dans une historicité, mais capables de s’en distancier de manière réflexive, et ce, grâce à la médiation du texte lu et à celle des autres lecteurs du texte. Premièrement, nous avons élaboré un modèle de compréhension de la diversité des sujets lecteurs, basé sur la critique d’une conception unitaire, homogène et essentialiste du sujet que l’école devrait former et de la culture qu’elle souhaite transmettre. Deuxièmement, nous avons étudié dans quelle mesure la diversité des interprétations effectivement produites par les élèves peut constituer une médiation efficace de la compréhension de soi-même et d’autrui comme sujet lecteur divers. Cette compréhension reposant sur la confrontation entre les interprétations produites successivement par un même lecteur et simultanément par plusieurs lecteurs, elle est nécessairement transitoire, fragmentaire, intersubjective et réflexive. Troisièmement, nous avons décrit et expliqué comment des élèves élaborent plusieurs interprétations d’un texte littéraire, à la fois en mobilisant les diverses ressources de leur subjectivité et en s’appropriant des éléments interprétatifs coconstruits avec leurs pairs et leur enseignant. En cohérence avec ces visées herméneutiques et praxéologiques, nous avons conçu une séquence d’enseignement, axée sur La plage des songes de S. Péan (1998), intégrant des activités individuelles et collaboratives de lecture, d’écriture et d’oral. Ce dispositif a été expérimenté par deux enseignants, dans une classe de seconde en France et dans une classe de cégep au Québec. Notre méthodologie qualitative vise la compréhension approfondie de sept parcours de lecteurs, grâce au croisement de données recueillies par le biais d’observations de cours, de textes d’élèves et d’entretiens. L’étude multicas confirme que les élèves sont capables de mettre en relation diverses ressources subjectives (cognitives, épistémiques, psychoaffectives, socioculturelles, axiologiques), de mettre à distance leurs interprétations et celles de leurs pairs et de réfléchir sur leur expérience lectorale. Les échanges intersubjectifs (en particulier les comités de lecteurs) jouent un rôle significatif dans la compréhension réflexive par les élèves de la singularité et de la diversité de leur parcours interprétatif. / We argue that literary reading education, at secondary school and CEGEP levels, can contribute to the development of diverse subject readers—i.e., plural, changing and contradictory subjects—within a historical perspective but able to distance themselves reflexively, aided by their own interpretation of the text and the interpretations of other readers. Firstly, we developed a model for understanding subject reader diversity, based on the critical analysis of a uniform, homogeneous and essentialist concept of the subject that the school should teach and the culture that it wishes to pass on. Secondly, we examined to what extent the diversity of interpretations actually produced by students can effectively establish the mediation of the understanding of self and others as a diverse subject reader. This understanding is inevitably transitory, fragmented, intersubjective and reflexive, given that it is based on the confrontation between different interpretations produced successively by the same reader and simultaneously by several readers. Thirdly, we described and explained how students develop several interpretations of a literary text by using their various subjectivity resources while at the same time appropriating interpretive elements developed jointly with their peers and teacher. In keeping with these hermeneutic and praxeological objectives, we have designed a teaching sequence, based on La plage des songes by S. Péan (1998). This sequence incorporates individual and collaborative reading, writing and speaking activities. It was tested by two teachers, during the first year of lycée studies in France and as part of a CEGEP-level course in Quebec. Our qualitative methodology is intended to promote thorough understanding of seven reader paths, using data gathered through classroom observation, student texts and interviews. This multi-case study confirms that students are capable of linking different subjective resources (cognitive, epistemic, psycho-emotional, sociocultural, axiological), taking a step back from their interpretations and those of their peers, and reflecting on their reading experience. Intersubjective exchanges (particularly between the reading committees) play a significant role in students’ reflexive understanding of the singularity and diversity of their interpretative paths.

These concerns were outbursts of teachers who affirmed they were not able to proceed faced with the difficulties, on students side, to the comprehension of the contents, much of this critical situation is attributed to the absence of intimacy between students and reading. In this regard our research arose aiming at analyzing reading practices experienced by PROEJA students as a way to understand their formation as a subject-reader. Our work is based on Kleiman (1996), Silva (1995), Orlandi (1996), Soares (2001), Freire (1994) and Foucambert (1989) reading conceptions, theorists whose works are centered on basic and elementary principles about the grasp of reading and writing mechanisms. The observation was carried out in a PROEJA classroom, at da Escola Técnica de Saúde de Cajazeiras, Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, in December 2009 and March 2010. The group was made up of 20 young and adult students and they were chosen by draw, eight of them to an interview. Methodological procedures were conducted on a qualitative research, which in description and analysis offers us a better approach to research subject; semi-structured interviews and data analysis method, following the investigation of interviewees speech, ensuring, in this way, a systematic organization of interviews transcripts, followed by their awareness allied with theoretical discussions about reading. We verified, broadly, students mainly tend to read novels, comics and newspapers. School environment is limited to textbook contents, which do not reach, in most cases, student s reading sensitivity. / A presente pesquisa surgiu da necessidade de respostas a inquietações vivenciadas logo após o funcionamento do Programa Nacional de Integração da Educação Profissional com a Educação Básica na Modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos PROEJA, no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Paraíba IFPB / Campus de Cajazeiras, no ano letivo 2007, em sintonia com o estabelecido no Decreto nº 5.840, de 13/07/2006. Essas inquietações eram desabafos de docentes afirmando não saberem como proceder diante das dificuldades, por parte dos estudantes, para o entendimento dos seus conteúdos, atribuindo uma boa parte dessa situação crítica a falta de intimidade entre esses alunos e a leitura. Nesse sentido, surgiu essa pesquisa com o objetivo maior de analisar as práticas de leitura vivenciadas pelos discentes do PROEJA, de modo a entender a sua formação de sujeito-leitor. O trabalho fundamenta-se nas concepções de leitura delineadas por Kleiman (1996), Silva (1995), Orlandi (1996), Soares (2001), Freire (1994) e Foucambert (1989), autores que apresentam princípios básicos e elementares no processo de compreensão dos mecanismos de leitura e de escrita. A observação foi realizada em uma turma do PROEJA, da Escola Técnica de Saúde de Cajazeiras, da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, nos meses de dezembro de 2009 e março de 2010. A turma é composta de 20 alunos jovens e adultos e foram escolhidos, por intermédio de sorteio, oito deles para a entrevista. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram encaminhados na perspectiva da pesquisa qualitativa, a qual em descrição e análise nos oferecem maior proximidade com o objeto de estudo; entrevistas na modalidade semi-estruturada e o método de análise de dados, seguindo as análises das falas dos entrevistados, garantindo, desse modo, a organização sistemática das transcrições das entrevistas, acompanhado do seu entendimento somado às discussões teóricas a respeito de leitura. Constatou-se, em linhas gerais, que os alunos têm tendências para a leitura, principalmente no que tange a romance, história em quadrinho e jornal. Só que a escola, como é limitada aos conteúdos inseridos no livro didático, não atinge, na maior parte dos casos, à sensibilidade leitora do discente.

Ce travail de recherche centré sur la problématique du corpus littéraire se veut une réflexion sur les pratiques d’enseignement passées et actuelles dans leurs traitements des textes littéraires et des modes de lectures convoqués. Notre objectif principal a été de montrer que la littérature subit à l’école des usages particuliers, qu’elle est déterminée par des valeurs et qu’elle relève d’enjeux éducatifs et politiques propres à un contexte géographique et culturel. Par ailleurs, cette investigation s’est attachée à étudier la question des corpus scolaires par rapport au contexte tunisien afin de voir s’il existe en situation FLE des corpus spécifiques qui répondent à des finalités éducatives particulières. En raison de la relation d’interdépendance entre les textes et les pratiques de lecture, nous avons essayé de montrer que l’école occulte souvent dans sa façon de concevoir la lecture scolaire le sujet lecteur et sa subjectivité. C’est dans ce sens que la réception littéraire, phénomène à la fois historique, social et individuel, est abordée en vue des retombées didactiques qu’elle peut avoir sur les apprenants et le choix des textes à l’école. / This research, which focuses on the problem of literary corpus, is a reflection on the past and current teaching practices and modes of readings that treat literary texts. Our main goal is to show that there are specific usages of literature at schools. These are determined by the educational and political values specific to a given geographical and cultural context.Furthermore, this study focuses on studying the issue of school corpus while considering the Tunisian context in order to see if there are specific situations in FLE whereby the corpus meets specific educational goals. Because of the close relationship between texts and reading practices, we have tried to show that the approach to academic reading at school often backgrounds readers and subjectivity. It is in this sense that the literary historical, social and individual reception is a phenomenon that addresses the educational impact of the latter on learners and on the choice of texts at school.

Les critiques littéraires, dans la dernière partie du 20ème siècle, ont tenté de définir la place occupée par le lecteur au sein de la création littéraire. Abordée sous différents angles (cognitif, culturel, psychanalytique, anthropologique, sociologique, linguistique, esthétique), l'activité du lecteur comme récepteur de l'œuvre est maintenant décrite avec finesse, maintes fois observée pour mieux cerner les conditions dans lesquelles s'organise cette réception. A la suite de ces travaux, la recherche en didactique interroge, elle aussi , la façon dont le lecteur en formation peut installer une relation intime à la littérature et acquérir une posture lui permettant d'entrer dans le jeu auquel le convie l'œuvre littéraire par essence pour s'approprier le texte littéraire, l'actualiser et tirer un bénéfice personnel de ses lectures.Nous pensons que ces postures de lecteurs, pour l'instant décrites à partir de modèles de lecteurs experts, peuvent aussi faire l'objet d'un enseignement simultané à celui d'une acquisition rigoureuse de l'apprentissage de la lecture. Pour répondre à cette problématique, la thèse a défini un cadre épistémologique qui s'appuie d'une part sur les modèles de théorisation du lecteur proposés par Michel Picard et Vincent Jouve, d'autre part sur les recherches en didactique de la littérature renouvelant son enseignement en prenant en compte le lecteur comme sujet. La dimension exploratoire de la recherche, qui compare deux modalités d'apprentissage, a permis de mettre en évidence- les différentes procédures que les élèves mettent en œuvre pour comprendre et investir les textes,- les représentations concernant la lecture qu'ils construisent en fonction des contextes d'apprentissage,- les conditions nécessaires à la mobilisation de leur subjectivité pour construire une lecture participative et/ou distanciée.La recherche aura permis, en outre, de proposer quelques hypothèses pour construire un début de modélisation des instances de lecture à l'œuvre chez l'apprenti lecteur. / In the last decades of the twentieth century, literary critics strove to define what place to give the reader amidst the process of literary creation. Scrutinized under different angles (cognitive, cultural, psychoanalytical, anthropological, sociological, linguistic, aesthetic), the activity of the reader as recipient of a given work has now been described with accuracy, observed again and again to better fathom the conditions in which this reception takes place. In the wake of these studies, didactic research also questions the way a reader in-training can set up an intimate relationship to literature and grow into a position which allows him/her to enter the game -to which a literary work quintessentially invites him/her- in order to assimilate the literary text, to actualize it and draw personal benefit from his/her readings.We believe the various reader positionings, so far described only from the models of expert readers, can also be taught, simultaneously with the rigorous acquisition of reading skills. To tackle this issue, this thesis has defined an epistemological framework based, on the one hand, upon Michel Picard and Vincent Jouve's models of theorization of the readership, and on the other hand, upon research in literature didactics which have renewed the way of teaching it by taking into account the reader as subject. The exploratory dimension of this research which compares two types of learning has permitted to find out-the different processes implemented by pupils to understand and invest the texts-the representations concerning reading that they build according to different learning situations-the conditions necessary to the mobilization of their subjectivity in building a participatory and/or distanciated reading.This research will also have permitted to suggest a few hypotheses aimed at building the bases of the modelization of the reading processes at work for the reader in-training.

The studies about reading in Brazil are developed under different perspectives, so this research aims to understand the production of meanings about the constitution of the reader and the social memory of reading from textual / discursive materialities that point to the the functioning of discursive formations and, consequently, interdiscourse.In order to achieve this goal, we selected reading projects, reports and documents that circulate in ideological instances of economic, juridic, religious and educational space. With the theoretical-methodological background of French Line Discourse Analysis we conducted the discursive study of the subject-reader object. The theoretical framework is subsidized by Michel Pêcheux (1995;1997; 2015), Eni P. Orlandi (2003;2007; 2008; 2015), Maria do Rosário V. Gregolin (2006), S. Possenti (2003), José H. Nunes (1992;2003), Helena H. Brandão (2012) and Eduardo Guimarães (1996, 2013). The course of this analysis is constructed under the following categories: discourse, subject-form, ideology, interdiscourse, discursive formation, production conditions, corpus, file and clipping. Regarding the approach, the research presents a qualitative bias and for the composition of the empirical corpus we adopted documentary research. Taking into consideration the outcome of this study, the method identified that the economic instance takes back the sense of the mode of functioning of the subject of capitalism, since there are prizes and financial recognitions for the work of reading. In the juridical instance, the subjectreader is constituted from a model that recalls the memory of punishment, the knowledge that comes from submission to rules. In the religious instance, there is the erasure of the construction of the reading path and a work of disciplinarization of the subject-reader. In the educational instance, specifically in the objectives of PNLL, we identify the meanings of an "official discourse" that guarantees the liberalism of reading, aiming at the formation of a reading society. In all instances there is the functioning of discursive formations that take up the pedagogical practice. The senses operate in the dissemination of a culture that values and encourages reading, forcing the erasure of a historical memory in which the Brazilian "does not like to read." Thus, the constitution of the reader-subject occurs in the dispersion of the different types of reading. / Os estudos sobre a leitura no Brasil se desenvolvem sob diferentes perspectivas, por isso, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo compreender a produção de sentidos acerca da constituição do sujeito-leitor e da memória social de leitura a partir de materialidades textuais/discursivas que apontam para o funcionamento das formações discursivas e, consequentemente, do interdiscurso. Para realizar essa abordagem, selecionamos projetos de leitura, reportagens e documentos que circulam em instâncias ideológicas do espaço econômico, jurídico, religioso e do ensino. Com o aporte teórico-metodológico da Análise de Discurso de linha francesa realizamos o estudo discursivo da forma sujeito-leitor. O referencial teórico é subsidiado por Michel Pêcheux (1995;1997; 2015); Eni P. Orlandi (2003; 2007; 2008; 2015); Maria do Rosário V. Gregolin (2006); S. Possenti (2003); José H. Nunes (1992; 2003), Helena H. Brandão (2012) e Eduardo Guimarães (1996; 2013). O percurso de análise é construído sob as seguintes categorias: discurso, forma-sujeito, ideologia, interdiscurso, formação discursiva, condições de produção, corpus, arquivo e recorte. Quanto à abordagem, a pesquisa apresenta um viés qualitativo e para a composição do corpus empírico adotamos a pesquisa documental. No tocante aos resultados obtidos, o método identificou que na instância do econômico, os sentidos retomam o modo de funcionamento do sujeito do capitalismo, visto que há premiações e reconhecimentos financeiros pelo trabalho de leitura. Na instância do jurídico, o sujeito-leitor é constituído a partir de um modelo que retoma a memória de punição, o saber que provém da submissão às normas. Na instância do religioso, há o apagamento da construção do percurso de leitura e um trabalho de disciplinarização do sujeito-leitor. Na instância do ensino, especificamente nos objetivos do PNLL, identificamos os sentidos de um “discurso oficial” que garante o liberalismo da leitura, visando a formação de uma sociedade leitora. Em todas as instâncias, há o funcionamento de formações discursivas que retomam a prática pedagógica. Os sentidos operam na disseminação de uma cultura que valoriza e incentiva a leitura, desconstruindo o imaginário de uma sociedade que “não gosta de ler”. Sendo assim, a constituição do sujeito-leitor ocorre na dispersão dos diferentes tipos de leitura. / São Cristóvão, SE

Cette recherche s'inscrit dans le domaine de la didactique du français, dans la zone de contact entre enseignement de la langue et enseignement de la littérature. Elle a pour objet la glose à thème lexical dans la classe de littérature au cycle 3 de l'école primaire française. Ce que nous avons cherché à caractériser ce sont les échanges autour de certaines unités lexicales du texte à lire (les « épisodes métalexicaux ») et les échanges autour des mots que les élèves utilisent pour leurs propres commentaires (les « mots de la réception »). Que font-ils exactement quand ils parlent des mots d'un texte ou quels sont les mots qu'ils utilisent pour parler d'un texte? Quel lien avec ce qui est prescrit en matière d'enseignement du lexique, d'une part, et en matière d'enseignement de la lecture littéraire, d'autre part ?La méthode d'analyse des données est comparative. Elle concerne trois classes de CM2, deux enseignants expérimentés et un enseignant entrant dans le métier, autour de deux albums de littérature de jeunesse : La Petite fille du livre (Nadja) et Zappe la guerre (Pef). Nous avons mené une étude qualitative appuyée sur les transcriptions des échanges filmés dans les classes, ainsi que sur les transcriptions d'entretiens et de dispositifs d'autoconfrontation (empruntés à l'ergonomie et à l'ergologie).Ce travail s'intéresse au métadiscours dans le sens élargi que lui donne Andrée Borillo (1985) qui inclut les conduites langagières de commentaire, de définition, d'explication, portant sur le code ou sur les faits de discours.Nous avons d'abord appréhendé notre objet sur le plan linguistique et nous avons analysé la diversité des conduites et des procédés langagiers qui en font sa spécificité. Nous avons cherché ensuite à en saisir la particularité dans le cadre d'une activité de lecture littéraire.À partir de travaux de référence en lexicologie et en didactique de la littérature, nous avons construit un modèle distinguant plusieurs catégories de glose (les gloses sur la signification, les gloses sur le sens, les gloses sur les realia et les gloses génériques). Nous avons rangé l'ensemble de ces gloses dans trois paradigmes : un paradigme sémantique, un paradigme générique et un paradigme personnel.Nous avons pu montrer entre autres que le travail sur le vocabulaire en classe de littérature ne se résume pas à la définition, principale catégorie présupposée par les enseignants, mais engage de nombreuses conduites différentes. Nous avons montré aussi que ce travail joue un rôle dans l'activité de symbolisation attendue du sujet lecteur en contexte littéraire. Toutefois, l'analyse de l'action enseignante montre la complexité du pilotage de ces interactions autour du lexique et la nécessité de former les enseignants en matière d'enseignement du lexique en contexte littéraire. / This research joins in the field of French language didactics, in the area of contact between teaching of the language and teaching of literature in the third “cycle” of the French primary school.It covers the gloss around lexical items of the text to be read (the metalexical " episodes ") and the exchanges around the words the pupils use for their own comments (the " words of the reception ").What do they do exactly when they speak about the words of a text or what are the words they use to speak about a text? What link do they make with the prescription regarding teaching of the lexicon on one hand, and regarding teaching of the literary reading on the other hand? The method of analysis of the data is comparative. It concerns three 5th classes of primary school, two experimented teachers and a teacher starting their career, around two albums of youth literature: La petite fille du livre (Nadja) and Zappe la guerre (Pef).We led a qualitative study based on the transcriptions of the exchanges filmed in the classes, as well as on the transcriptions of interviews and plans of self-confrontation (borrowed from the study of ergonomics and ergology).This work focuses on the metadiscourse in its wider sense, studied by Andrée Borillo (1985) who includes the linguistic conducts of comment, definition, explanation, concerning the code or the facts of discourse.We first based our subject on the linguistic plan and we analysed what makes it specific - the diversity of the conducts and the linguistic processes. We then tried to seize its peculiarity within the framework of a literary reading activity.From reference works in lexicology and in literature didactics, we built a model distinguishing several categories of gloss (the glosses on meaning, the glosses on sense, the glosses on realia and generic glosses).We put all these glosses in three paradigms: a semantic paradigm, a generic paradigm and a personal paradigm.We were able to show, among other factors, that the work on the lexical field of literature cannot be reduced to its definition, the main category presumed by teachers, as it leads to many other conducts.We also showed that this work plays a role in the activity of symbolization that is expected from the subject reader in literary context. However, the analysis of the act of teaching shows the complexity of the piloting of these interactions around the lexicon and the necessity of training the teachers regarding lexicon teaching in a literary context.
