The research which embodies this dissertation was developed with the aim of analyzing the strategies used by the author Lygia Bojunga Nunes from the interactionist perspective of language and reception aesthetics to evoke the reader's participation in the literary work. In the novel which served as the corpus of this analysis, Sapato de Salto (2006), it is clear that the communicative verbal action is socially oriented as it deals with fracturing themes such as sexual abuse, prostitution, pedophilia, homo-affection, domestic violence, without being erotic, lewd or vulgar though, allowing the young person to go on attributing meanings and building meanings to the reading at the same time he is captured for it. For this, we tried to identify discursive, symbolic and intertextual signs in Sapato de Salto (2006) which intertwined with the personal and professional maturity of the writer in constant interaction with her audience, allowing critical and humanizing provocation effects on those who read it. Our studies were based on the theorists Mikhail Bakhtin (1993, 1997, 2003, 2006, 2010), Hans Robert Jauss (1994), Wolfgang Iser (1996), Brazilian researchers and essayists Aguiar & Bordini (1988), Marisa Lajolo (2007, 2011), Regina Zilberman (2007, 2011, 2012), Perrone-Moisés (1990) and in the exponent of Brazilian literary criticism, Antônio Cândido (1972, 1988, 2004, 2006, 2009), among others. It could be verified that Lygia Bojunga endorses the thesis of social interactionism and the aesthetics of reception in reading and literature, as it was found, in Sapato de Salto, dialogism between work and the reader, valorization of prior knowledge, expansion of this knowledge through breaking paradigms, and activating their responsive participation in empathetic reflections on issues barely discussed with young people, but much experienced by them, favoring the understanding of oneself, the other and their (trans) literary formation.
