Summary: The main objective of this research - part of a set of studies developed by the interinstitutional research group "Literature and Education" - is to trace representations of the woman and the feminine given to see in the textbook of Portuguese Language and Literature of High School, an object/support that proposes and organizes knowledge in literature for the final years of basic schooling and that, even with its ephemeral and pedagogical character, plays a fundamental role in the process of forming new readers. Therefore, we have developed an investigation focused on understanding how socially disseminated female stereotypes, historiography and literary criticism are appropriated by textbooks within literate cultural communities. Thus, we set out to examine the ways in which the textbook of High School, notably from the topics of literature, relates to literary and social discourses and practices regarding the theme of gender. Beyond literature review pertinent to gender issues with Joan W. Scott; of identity elaborated by Stuart Hall and Tomaz Tadeu da Silva, we made use of Roger Chartier's notions of practices, representations, appropriations, cultural object and interpretive community. Thus, the methodological incursion will consist of three stages: the first, a thorough evaluation of two didactic collections among the ten titles selected and recommended by the National Program of the Textbook for High School (PNLD / 2015); the second, an analysis of the discourses of teachers and students, their practices and appropriations of the textbook, from the participant observation of classes whose central theme revolves around the representations of gender, especially women; and, finally, the constitution of a focus group composed of students from the classes observed in two public high schools in the city of São Mateus / ES, aiming to analyze the appropriation of the different forms of representation of feminine and women by the light of theories of the New Cultural History - a strand concerned with the "unimportant" - both when we refer to the textbook, and the notion of representation of women and feminine.
