posthumous consecration of Ines as Queen of
Portugal at the behest of Dom Pedro, who loved her
much more than the royal throne destined for him,
would perpetuate her as the protagonist of "love to
the end of the world" (the Inezian myth) and also as
the victim of a feminicide, avant la lettre, committed
in the fourteenth century, in 1355, in a context of
conflictive family relations generated by reasons of
political background, at the behest of the King of
Portugal, Alfonso IV, Pedro's father.
This incessant challenge of promoting the
charm for reading, in addition to enchanting
educators and students through reading practice,
with an emphasis on literature, is to make them
multipliers of the experience of reading perceived as
a process of transformation of people and creation of
utopian worlds in which the experience of writing
registers as a creative instance for ordinary people,
child and teenage girls and boys, women and men, in
a formative-pedagogical context, who live the "real
life" of social inequalities, as gender inequality, also
in school spaces, have guaranteed their right to learn
to recreate the world and their ways of being in it,
constructing new meanings about gender relations in
general, and affective ones in particular, based on
equity and respect for oneself and for the other.
Is the concept of infinite love advocated in the
Inezian myth, embedded in a gamified technological
platform accessible to the population by means of
the cellular telephone, capable of influence the
attitude of the reader of the Inezian work to
transcend his personal transformation in relation to
reading and feminicide in order to live also an
attitude of commitment in a solidarity movement
that goes beyond the fight against gender violence?
In order to answer this research question, it was
elaborated and tested in this work a serious game of
performative reading and production of multimodal
texts based on the Inezian myth and of social
entrepreneurial performances, to lead readers-actors
to the reconstruction of utopian personal worlds
(female and male self-images), to the reconstruction
of utopian worlds of the genre of the other (gender
relations), and to the reconstruction of utopian
worlds of citizenship.
2 RELATED WORKS
Breaking with the verbal as the only way of human
language, poets of various aesthetic expressions, in
the last five hundred years, have created narratives
that recall the love and tragedy of Inês de Castro and
reaffirm their symbolic reign. Above all, these poets
update social processes in which women and men
construct themselves as subjects of femininities and
masculinities and thus establish relations among
themselves, affective or not, involving or not the
sexuality. By means of critical analyzes of works of
these collections, among them the literary one, one
can propose interpretative hypotheses around
instances of symbolic action of the Inezian myth in
the construction of gender identities in socio-cultural
contexts such as Portuguese, as was done from the
recreations of Inês de Castro produced by
contemporary Portuguese playwrights (Andrade,
2010).
In Portugal, where the 393 cases of feminicide
registered between 2004 and 2014 (Teixeira, 2015,
p.16), the Art’Themis Project - Young Protagonists
in Gender Preventionand Equality implemented
systematic actions of awareness and prevention of
sexist and racist behaviour in schools in Porto and
Matosinhos in the school year 2014/2015that
supported research such as carried out at University
of Porto whose good results include an interactive
experience between students and plastic artist in the
co-production of works carried out during a live
painting session integrated with a debate among the
participants on raise gender equality awareness,
(Teixeira, 2015), such as community experiences
around the world that show the power of storytelling
to generate criticism and collective action as well as
to stimulate engagement and active citizenship
(Solinger, Fox, Irani, 2008). In Brazil, governmental
and non-governmental organizations initiated the
Pact and the National Policy to Combat Violence
against Women the Special Secretariat for Policies
for Women (SPM) to debate policies in pursuit of
gender equality, as established as goals in the SDGs,
among them policies of economic autonomy and of
encouraging political participation, insertion in
power spaces and new educational approaches,
considering the multifaceted and structural character
of gender violence, in its foundations linked to the
patriarchal culture (Bugni, 2016).
In Portugal an Brazil there are works developed
in primary and secondary schools that aims to
promote a more playful contact and creative of
children and adolescents with the reading practice of
the Inezian theme, instrumented by art-educational
practices such as dramatization, singing,
vocalization, animation with elements of drawing,
collage and cartoons performed by students with
partnership and supervision of teacher. But data such
as those recorded in the Observatory on Dating
Violence in 2018 shows that pedagogic works at
schools related above have no yet enough synergy
