Literature in Official DocumentsAbstract: This article presents some considerations about how the literature classes have been conducted in high school. We realize the presence of a crisis in literature teaching in high school, something quite visible in schools and that can be interpreted in various ways. Another important focus for this work was to identify the representations of literature as a cultural heritage of humanity. Therefore some questions are made: How has been taught the literature classes in high school? What view of the literature functions guide the work of teachers in high school? What the called curriculum advisors can bring as contribution to the literature teaching in high school? Why does the teaching of literature has been suffering a crisis today? To discuss the subject, it was used as a theoretical basis, the work of Cosson (2006and 2014) and St. Paul (2007, regarding the treatment of literary literacy; for reflections on the teaching of literature, we opted to Lajolo (1982 and 2000), Todorov (2009) and Zilberman (1988 and, among others. Thus, this study also seeks to reflect on the importance of literature teaching in high school to awaken and instigate students to read literary texts soon. The results show the importance of the teacher's work as a promoting agent of literary reading. Thus, this study is also justified by the attempt to contribute to the debate about the use of literary texts and Portuguese textbooks in literature teaching, promoting literary literacy in high school.
