Abstract
Appropriating the dramatic genre, whose procedures are cited in the body of the text, this article reflects on some of the aspects involved in the teaching of literature in contemporary Brazilian universities. In a five-act sequence -each act referring to a different space in the university environment (the classroom, the meeting room, etc.)-, this paper explores different notions of learning and teaching, comments on responses to recent changes in the corpus and university bodies in Brazil, considers the relationship between the endogenous tradition of Brazilian patriarchal culture and immunitarian policies, and reflects on the complexity of the notion of heritage, in dialogue with the specters that haunt both Hamlet and the institutions where literature is taught. Throughout the text, I seek to highlight the materiality of daily life at university.
Keywords:
