Abstract

Lygia Bojunga and Marina Colasanti are writers who stand out in the scenario of Brazilian Children and Youth Literature. Bojunga began his career in 1972 when he published his work, "The Colleagues." Colasanti debut in the year 1969 with the work I alone and, in 1979, publishes An idea all blue, the first book of fairy tales. During this period, what scholars like Coelho (2010) call "an outbreak of creativity". From this, the writers who begin to publish at such an age want their books to be recognized as an aesthetic object and not as moralizing texts. In addition, these "creative" authors discuss in their texts the literary making, using the resources of the metafiction, which, according to scholars (CAMARGO, 2009, COELHO, 2010, FARIA, 2012, Hookcheon, Which discusses fiction itself. In the short stories "The exchange and the task", by Lygia Bojunga, and "Girl of red on the way to the moon", by Marina Colasanti, for example, the authors assimilate aspects of the critique in their fictional process, in order to comment on the creation itself Literary. With this in view, in our study, we made some considerations about the life and literary production of these authors. In addition, we try to highlight the metafictional strategies in these texts. Finally, we propose a didactic sequence, in the last chapter, to work with this type of text in the classroom. In order to discuss metafiction, we base ourselves on the studies carried out by Camargo (2009); Faria (2004, 2008, 2012); Lepaludier (2002); Hutcheon (1984), Waugh (2001), among others. Regarding metafiction in Child and Youth Literature, we used the works of the following researchers: Abramovich (1997); Coelho (1998, 2000, 2010); Franca (2015); Franca, Souza and Camargo (2016); Hunt (1992); Lajolo and Zilberman (2007); Souza and Franca (2015).
