THE MICRO-STORY GENRE AND ANTI-RACIST LITERARY LITERACY FROM A HISTORICAL-CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The article is based on the pedagogical practice carried out in the Pedagogical Experiences offered to teachers from the Araucária Municipal Education Network in February 2023. This workshop sought to contextualize the proposed concepts for teachers, which we will briefly present in the course of this paper. We would like to point out that a mini-story, or micro-story, or nano-story, is a very short story, a form of writing that has been associated with minimalism. The mini-story presents a narrative in just one line. The idea is that, with as few words as possible, an entire context and action are presented around the little that is revealed by those words. Literary literacy is the process of appropriating literature as language, and anti-racist is the individual who deliberately engages in a process of action and active opposition to racism. Based on these concepts, teachers reflected on their pedagogical practice, guided by the concepts of Historical-Critical Pedagogy, which is the theoretical basis of this municipality, and finally, they were able to write a micro-story focusing on the discussion. To this end, the activity was carried out with a focus on theorists who permeate their studies, at some point in anti-racist practice.
