RODRIGUEZ DA SILVEIRA, María Cecilia. Literary explorations… in the forest of life. Infor [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp.111-131.  Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 2301-1378.  https://doi.org/10.35643/info.26.2.6.

This work will present theoretical stories, reflections and articulations from an experience carried out in literary exploration workshops with girls, boys and adolescents that began shortly before the start of the pandemic in 2020 and which were maintained and expanded in the context of the pandemic.

The aim is to explore with literature, to promote the encounter in fiction and with surprise. Ask and hold questions and riddles. Exploring with literature supposes the idea that the poetic and ludic functions of language are linked, they link sensory and bonding experiences, they build stories with which a being is constituted as a psychic subject. And in these stories fiction is essential. Basic curiosity, regardless of the age of the person, is always activated by the enigma of one s own existence.

Then, faced with the shock caused by the pandemic, exposed to so many losses, the workshop constituted a vital space of shared experience in which each one found their way to occupy a subjective space in the group. We are interested in finding out what children find in a group where fictional stories are shared. Underlying these reflections are questions about the effects of reading.

Keywords : READING GROUPS; CHILDREN; ADOLESCENTS; PSYCHOANALYSIS; COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
