Number of characters: 147 252 Keywords: literary text, poetical text, prose, dramatic text, French teaching, high school Abstract: Literary text, meaning a text enriched with aestethical quality, represents one means to convey culture of a country. Its role in foreing language teaching is to help strenghten communicative competency and develop socio-cultural competency. The way literary text is used in didactics and approached in general has changed considerably in terms of individual methodical principles of foreign language teaching. Firstly, in the period of grammar- translation method, literary text was of the utmost importance, contrary to the beginning of the period of direct methods when it was completely abandonned. Nowadays, literary text is understood as one of the effective supplements in foreing language teaching. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, considered to be a fundamental document for principles of foreign language teaching at present, identifies for each level of proficiency the ability of reading comprehension. This ability...

The theoretical part of the diploma is focused on the analysis of particular areas and concepts related to children's recitation regarding the first level of primary school. The first half of the practical part looks into primal motivation resulting into the decision to dedicate oneself to recitation, as well as the method of text selection by children and their reasons for preference of poetry to prose. The method of controlled interview was used for researching child reciters at the first level of primary school. The same method was applied to research methods of management, preparation and evaluation of children's reciter by adults who work with and assess the reciter. The second half of the practical part offers and describes examples of both group and individual approaches to a particular text.

Through the interpretation of the short rural prose of five selected authors of the second half of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century (K. V. Rais, J. K. Šlejhar, A. a V. Mrštíkové, T. Nováková, J. Kratochvíl) the thesis deals with the topic of the rural family according to a few aspects that were chosen on the basis of the historical and sociological findings of the technical literature about the rural family in the nineteenth century. The aspects treated by the above mentioned authors are ordered into the chapters "The family model", "Home and world", "Family and the rural year", "Family and the conditions of property", "Birth and death in the rural family" and "Family and traditions and the norms of religious life". The works of the authors are inserted into the context of the rural prose of the nineteenth century. The follow-up interpretation proves the differences in the approach of the authors to the depicted topic.

ŠUMAVA - NATURE AND PEOPLE - THROUGH THE EYES OF KAREL KLOSTERMANN (with special attention to the frequency,ways and possibilities of individual colours' usage) The aim of this thesis is to designate and describe qualities of the residents of the central Bohemian Forest and the attributes of local nature in the way they were depicted by the writer Karel Klostermann (1848-1923). The results of individual analyses performed in this thesis present the inhabitants of the Bohemian Forest as a society that is conservative, religion-based, maybe even superstitious and bearing a certain distrust to the surrounding world. The Bohemian Forest's landscape is very demanding, the impact of which is visible in the inhabitants' character traits - the increased directness and, in certain aspects, vulgarity of people living under these conditions. Nature is often approached as a literary image that is further developed in accordance with the spirit of impressionism. This is concluded, among other sources, from the specific use of colours that is further analyzed. The emphasis of sense perception pervades almost every descriptive passage.

As regiões afastadas dos grandes centros urbanos, mais especificamente as do interior de Minas Gerais, encontram-se no cerne do primeiro livro de João Guimarães Rosa, Sagarana (1946). Chama a atenção o modo como Rosa foca tais locais, bem como suas formas de sociabilidade: se a geração de 1930 aborda o interior do país sob seus vieses problemáticos, Guimarães Rosa lança um olhar simpático e afetivo para elementos como o familismo e a informalidade brasileiros, vislumbrando poesia em locais em que avultam precariedades materiais. Elaborando Sagarana num momento em que o atraso do país era interpretado, pela direita e pela esquerda, como resíduo e entrave ao progresso, Guimarães Rosa recua no espaço (para a região) e no tempo (para a Primeira República), desrecalcando a cultura do latifúndio. Esta dissertação busca discutir em que medida o autor mineiro, ao jogar luz sobre as benesses do provincianismo brasileiro, resgata o ideário forjado por nosso primeiro Modernismo e sua interpretação triunfalista do atraso / Lands far from large urban centers, in the countryside of Minas Gerais to be precise, are at the core of the Guimarães Rosa\'s first book, Sagarana (1946). It is notable how Rosa focuses on these areas as well as on the forms of sociability of the people therein: if, on the one hand, the 1930\'s generation of writers approached the Brazilian countryside in view of its problems, Guimarães Rosa, on the other hand, takes a sympathetic and affectionate look at elements such as Brazilian familism and informality, thus glimpsing poetry in regions of precarious material conditions. Working on Sagarana at a moment when the delay of the nation was interpreted, by both left and right-wing groups, as a residue and obstruction for its progress, Guimarães Rosa moves back in space (to the region) and in time (to the First Brazilian Republic) to decompress the culture of Brazilian latifundia. This dissertation intends to discuss the ways in which Guimarães Rosa, while emphasizing the riches of Brazilian provincialism, recovers the ideas of our first Modernism and its triumphalist vision of delay

O livro Serafim Ponte Grande, escrito por Oswald de Andrade no final da década de 1920 e publicado em 1933, apresenta o baixo e o alto da cultura brasileira. Surgem o humor, a sexualidade e a própria literatura como elementos importantes e exacerbados pela técnica, surgem tipos e expressões tanto coloquiais como eruditas rebaixadas pelo tratamento que o autor dá aos temas apresentados. Considerando tais fatores, esta pesquisa tem como objeto Serafim Ponte Grande (1933) buscando iluminar a relação entre a técnica literária e a matéria por ela formalizada. / The book Serafim Ponte Grande, written by Oswald de Andrade in the late 1920s and published in 1933, presents the \'low\' and \'high\' of Brazilian culture. Humor, sexuality and literature appear as important elements and exacerbated by technique, there are types and expressions both colloquial and erudite downplayed by the treatment that the author gives to the themes presented. Considering these factors, this research aims at Serafim Ponte Grande (1933) seeking to illuminate the relationship between the literary technique and the material formalized by it.

[pt] O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir, na prosa de ficção brasileira da década de 1990, a presença de estratégias discursivas que revelam processos complexos de abordagem do confronto entre o eu e o outro. Trata-se da presença de instâncias narrativas impregnadas de discursos sobre a alteridade, o que se evidencia em contos e romances cujos enredos pautamse no confronto de subjetividades, etnias e culturas. Para discutir essa questão, procuramos identificar, nas narrativas analisadas, o que denominamos como a presença de vozes etnográficas, a partir de aproximações entre o campo da literatura e da antropologia, considerando que o procedimento de leitura e escrita do outro faz-se presente tanto no trabalho do etnógrafo quanto do ficcionista. Tal procedimento leva-nos, enfim, a considerar a polifonia como um traço fundamental do processo de escrita e leitura da alteridade em nossa ficção contemporânea. / [en] The objective of this study is to discuss the presence, in 1990´s Brazilian prose fiction, of discursive strategies that reveal complex processes of approaching the confrontation between the I and the Other. We deal with the presence of narrative instances impregnated with speeches on alterity, what is evidenced in stories and romances whose plots are based on the confrontation of subjectivities, ethnic groups and cultures. In order to discuss this subject, we tried to identify, in the narratives analyzed, what we denominate the presence of ethnographic voices, starting with approximations among the literary and the anthropologic fields, considering that procedures of the other´s reading and writing are made present as much in the ethnographer s as in the fictionist´s work. Such procedure lets us, finally, consider the polyphony as a fundamental feature of the alterity´s writing and reading process in our contemporary fiction.

The purpose is to understand the underground language in the hybrid structure within the form of the romance genre. We have made a discursive structural comparison between O Cheiro do Ralo and Rabelais's work, Gargantua (1985) and O terceiro livro dos fatos e ditos heróicos do bom Pantagruel (2006). We associate the marginal language represented by Mutarelli with the works of artists such as Renoir, Munch and Bosch, besides the musical art. All of them are understood as reading devices of the novel, and support the references or the appropriations made by the author in the process of framing the narrative. The contamination of these languages one each other is made by the voice of the implicit narrator. In addition, the selected theories of Bakhtin about plurilingualism and skaz support the research from the social discourse standpoint, and the critical work of Will Eisner (2010; 2013) sustains the entry of the author's voice through the current artwork, mainly, in the language of the graphic novel. It is the entrance of the language of comics, which allows the introduction of these artistic languages contained within the production of Mutarelli before his debut novel. The hypotheses assert that O Cheiro do Ralo is located at the threshold of the novel and the graphic novel, by transiting between the two genres without fixating on any of them. Whereas the underground language differs from the marginal language through certain artistic procedures, and through the recycling of other languages, such as the grotesque and the language of the streets. It is concluded that O Cheiro do Ralo stands as a mediating work of inclusion of the underground literature supported by the marginal one, which is, in turn, evidenced by the artistic imaginary. The cartoonist converges toward to the contemporary scripture in an original language that tells and shows as image and social voice in the Underground Literature / novela inaugural do cartunista Lourenço Mutarelli. O propósito é compreender a linguagem underground na estrutura híbrida dentro da forma do gênero romance. Nós fizemos uma comparação estrutural discursiva entre O Cheiro do Ralo e Gargantua (1985), do livro de Rabelais, e O terceiro livro dos fatos e os ditos heróicos do bom Pantagruel (2006). Associamos a linguagem marginal representada por Mutarelli com os trabalhos de artistas como Renoir, Munch e Bosch, além da arte musical. Todos eles são entendidos enquanto trabalhos de leitura do romance, e fundamentam as referências ou as apropriações feitas pelo autor no processo de estruturação da narrativa. A contaminação destas linguagens em cada uma delas é feita pela voz do narrador implícito. Além disso, as teorias selecionadas de Bakhtin sobre o plurilinguismo e o skaz fundamentam a pesquisa a partir do discurso social e o trabalho crítico de Will Eisner (2010;2013) sustenta a entrada da voz do autor através do trabalho artístico, principalmente, na linguagem da graphic novel. As hipóteses afirmam que O Cheiro do Ralo está localizado no limiar do romance e da grafic novel, transitando entre os dois gêneros sem fixar-se em nenhum deles. Ao mesmo tempo, a linguagem underground difere da linguagem marginal através de certos procedimentos artísticos, e da reciclagem de outras linguagens, como o grotesco e a linguagem das ruas. É conclusivo que O Cheiro do Ralo representa um trabalho mediador de inclusão da literatura underground amparado pela linguagem marginal, que é, por sua vez, evidenciado pelo imaginário artístico. O cartunista converge para a escritura contemporânea em uma linguagem original que "conta e mostra" enquanto imagem e voz social na Literatura Underground
