Yo, tú, él, ella… Experiencias de aula: la educación literaria promueve la igualdad

Abstract

Literary education, in addition to the development of cognitive skills, should foster the critical capacity of students so that they can become aware, among other issues, of the inequality between men and women. Reading becomes an ideal instrument to promote gender equality and eradicate sexist stereotypes inside and outside the classroom. Through the selection of readings, the revision and expansion of the literary canon, the classroom experiences, which are presented, aim to not only make the work and the contribution of the writers to the world of literature visible, but also offer alternative readings that enact new models of identification, more just and egalitarian, for them and for them. Under these reflections, we developed a series of proposals for didactic intervention, from the area of Language and Literature, aimed at university students who are preparing to be future teachers of both Primary and Secondary education.
