IGLESIS, M. Literature:a potentially open place to the misconception and to the alterity in ELE classes for the Brazilians. 2009. f. 161 +1CD-ROM. Dissertation (MA in Spanish)-Faculty of Philosophy, Languages and Human Sciences, University of São Paulo, 2010. In teaching-learning practices, the Spanish language has been suffering from the "instrumentalization" process in which it is transformed in a vector language so as to solve the contemporary subject urgencies, being this subject understood as a "pragmatic subject". We propose here to deal with the literary text as a support linked to reading experiences in these practices and in this way we thought be possible to offer a certain resistance to the language usage as mentioned above. Our hypothesis is that the literary text materiality makes it possible the confrontation between one subject and two dimensions which, in our view, shouldn't be disguised such as it happens in the "instrumentalization" process ". In fact, this not only would avoid the misconception dimension but also would minimize the exposition to the alterity. From our perspective, certain literary texts present the non-stabilization semantics of the senses in a potentialized form and explore the relation with the strange. In this sense, on the grounds of the Discourse Analysis in the French line of thought , we have done a pilot experience with Brazilian learners of the Spanish language , allowing us to constitute a corpus, in which the detected images in the learners' answers to the questionnaires throughout the process are analyzed as well as the written productions. In this analysis, we have detected misplacement both in the imaginary register level and in the symbolic elaboration.
