Abstract

During the course "Writing Scenes, Reading Scenes", taught in the first semester of 2019, by Professor Myriam Ávila, from the Graduate Program in Letters: Literary Studies, Faculty of Letters, Federal University of Minas Gerais, was proposed that we examine the concepts of "writing scene" and "reading scene" in various authors, Brazilian or foreign. Delimiting the specificities of these scenes in each literature. In the case of the present work, we tried to relate these concepts in the first chapter of the book "The War has no woman's face", by the Belarusian writer Svetlana Aleksievé, in which the author first questions why she is writing a book about the War. Throughout the text, she remembers what she had read in childhood that she might have enjoyed this desire.
