Writing

Studying the process of writing presupposes an analysis of the social and ideological relationship established between the subject/student and the object of writing. Thus this study aimed to analyze the representations of writing among a group of students enrolled in a language arts program. This analysis drew on the interactionist perspective of language studies Vygotsky and Bakhtin. Workshops for students in the Language and Literature program provided an opportunity for reflection through the recovery of each subject's writing history and the construction of particular representations of writing. As a result of the analyses through the history of each subject a student in the Language and Literature Course it is evident that over the school years the desire to write diminishes/disappears and the object of writing/writing becomes obscure since this activity becomes a mechanical process without meaning without motivation and without necessity in the student's life. The results obtained show that without the intervention of interactionist proposals future teachers will not be able to break with the model of reproduction: teaching as I learned thereby perpetuating the cycle of dislike of writing.
