Language and Labour Centrality in Quarto de Despejo

Language is essential to mankind and it is a means to interact with nature. Another important element in the discursive constitution of the subject is labour; through it men transform themselves and the surrounding society and this is one of the most ontologically salient features of it. In this sense, this article analysis the literary representation of language and labor world in Quarto de despejo, by Carolina Maria de Jesus. As a theoretical framework to discuss concepts of labour it is adopted Marx (1996); Engels (1990) and Lukács (2004) whose works investigate that universe.  Bakhtin/Volochínov (1986), to reflect on language; Bosi (2002), to analyze literature as a field of resistance and Candido (1976), to consider the interactions between text and context. As a result of this investigation, it was concluded that language, represented by the work of a writer, has a central role in the life of Carolina, because it is through language that the author develops a social critique of the oppressive scenario in which she lives, transcending it in a certain measure. Carolina's work, garbage collector, is not an element of satisfaction in her life, but a meaningless activity and worthless human. However it is through the precarious work universe that language constitutes itself, unfolding as a hybrid between the material world and literary expedients.

This article has as main objective to reflect on the Dubsmash self-dubbing mobile app, from the centrality of the studies of Dialogic Discourse Analysis, especially with a focus on verbal-visual perspective. The paper features through the virtual sphere notion, the relationship between an mobile app in which the subject can dub scenes, music or viral Internet and the concrete enunciation as concrete possibility of saying, in words and images of the subject and his other. The text is interested specifically for videos compounds based on a textual fragment of a  Babylon scene, a Brazilian soap opera. The results point to a desire to performance art on the Internet, permeated by Bakhtinian notions like finish, completeness, externality and authorship. The work also shows that it is urgent the university look into the virtual sphere and their innovations while discursive projects and language  movements, constitutive of different interaction fields to be analyzed.
