Abstract

This work focuses on the dialectic, prevailing in Didactics of Literature, between what is usually called traditional paradigm and what is usually called new paradigm. From there we proceed to examine the keys by which the so-called communicative or competency approach has become the hegemonic norm in the critical discourse on current literary education. Finally, we make a proposal that invites to think about the school in the context of a classical tradition based on the concept of scholé, whose condition of possibility relies on reading and the implementation of a literary education closer to the classical idea of ​​leisure and less related to the acquisition of a series of technical competences.
