Estudo da publicidade como autoficção: possibilidades identitárias em propagandas sobre o Brasil

RESUMO:  O artigo constitui um estudo do papel da publicidade como um espaço narrativo de autoficção propício à criação de novas possibilidades identitárias entre nós-brasileiros e o outro-estrangeiro, através de propagandas (comerciais), com base em textos de diferentes teóricos que tratam da questão da “escrita de si” na linha de pesquisa Literatura e Vida Cultural.  Algumas peças publicitárias constituem o material para analisar as imagens possíveis em jogo na relação outros-sujeitos-nós.

Expressões alegóricas da modernidade na publicidade

RESUMO: Tal proposta de estudo reflete sobre os emblemas da modernidade nas imagens da publicidade, especificamente a partir dos anúncios da revista Capricho, da década de 1970. Diante disso, as alegorias da marca compreendem tudo aquilo que a marca representa na mente do consumidor e, ao mesmo tempo, revela transfigurações das relações entre a arte da memória e conhecimento presentes na publicidade. Enfatizamos, nessas imagens, a multiplicidade de gêneros a partir do entrelaçamento de sentidos, tempos e espaços, saberes e conceitos presentes nas relações culturais do mito; seus padrões de comportamento, crenças, costumes, ou seja, suas configurações culturais e objetos de conhecimento sobressaltados no emaranhado mundo de sentidos estéticos e políticos persistentes no anúncio publicitário.

Dialogues and senses produced in/by the publicity discourse of institutes of languages

This article aims at analyzing the dialogues between the publicity discourse from languages institutes, with their publicity focused on the disclosure of English language courses, established between the student (subject), potential interlocutor of these publicities, trying to understand the meaning effects which can be produced and circulate socially through these dialogues. In order to do that, this study takes into consideration the theoretical confluences between the Bakhtin Circle and the discourse theory from Michel Pêcheux, especially,  those which concern the notions of dialogue and senses produced in and by the publicity discourse from languages institutes.

ETHOS, ARGUMENTAÇÃO E DÉTOURNEMENT PROVERBIAL: ANÁLISE DISCURSIVA DE UM TÍTULO PUBLICITÁRIO DE VEJA

Objetivamos investigar a manifestação do ethos, produzido pelo orador no discurso, a partir da abordagem referente à modificação proverbial, denominada por Maingueneau e Grésillon (1984) de détournement proverbial por ‘captação’ e détournement proverbial por ‘subversão’. A primeira classificação evidencia um artifício persuasivo de mudança na apropriação do provérbio; entretanto, mesmo com a “desconstrução” aplicada, o détournement proverbial mantém-se dentro de sua estrutura semântica original. A segunda classificação procura subverter o détournement proverbial, discordando do teor semântico subjacente na composição do provérbio original. No título publicitário em questão, observamos a existência de uma nova estratégia na qual o enunciador, em um harmonioso jogo de palavras, capta e, ao mesmo tempo, subverte o provérbio, resultando em uma eficaz técnica argumentativa. Assim, à categorização dos pesquisadores, adicionamos o détournement proverbial de ‘entremeio’.

THE ELDERLY IN TWO ADVERTISING: A DISCURSIVE ANALYSIS

 The advertisements are a discursive genre that are meant to promote a brand, product or service attracting investors and / or customers. Its constitution strategies are varied: ranging from humor to the controversy. This feature allows each advertisement reaches the public in a different way, generating empathy, moving reviews, discussions etc. Because of this social relevance, this study aims to analyze two advertisements of Havaianas sandals, aired on television and the internet, in the months of August and September 2009. These pieces had as main character an elderly: (i) in the first interaction situation with his granddaughter; and (ii) the second to the viewer. In the latter, referred to the answer given by the public on the contents of the first piece. The interest in these parts is related to the controversy generated about the old character and his speech. From the interactionist perspective, based on the conceptual framework of Bakhtin and his Circle, proposes to examine the discursive process initiated by the enunciation of these parts in order to describe elements rooted in shared social knowledge about the elderly. Thus, we mobilized the concepts of dialogism, interaction and axiological concepts of discourse. The analysis of the specimens shows that the representation of the elderly as a partner responsible for a more liberal discourse on emotional and sexual life is not yet part of the social horizon of the Brazilian public. His appearance generates dialogue with the public (albeit to receive criticism) that concerns this brand interactions.

Inter-discourse, Pre-constructed and meaning effects in Advertisin

This study is the result of observations and reflections that do not, and are not intended to be, deriving from a single area of ​​scientific knowledge, or from certain sets of disciplines guided by a specific field of knowledge. Here, five points (although distinct) intersect and complement each other on the matter of (re)production of the advertising discursive practices. The first two points deal with outlines and theoretical routes related to the development of fundamental concepts of the French School of Discourse Analysis. The third point aims to make a theoretical approach between issues of discourse and copywriting techniques. Afterwards, we weave some discursive analysis, starting from a particular case study. And finally, in the section Notes on Copywriting from the discourse, we present a set of considerations regarding the problem of understanding the copywriting as a discursive practice from the perspective of the materialist theory of discourse.

RECURSOS LINGÜÍSTICO-ARGUMENTATIVOS NO DISCURSO PUBLICITÁRIO

As mais recentes investigações lingüísticas colocam o texto dentro de uma nova abordagem: a linguagem como produção, isto é, um campo mais abrangente que capte a multiplicidade dos fenômenos instaurados na língua e a partir da língua. O texto, visto como um jogo dinâmico entre os interlocutores, mobiliza os elementos envolvidos no ato de produção de sentidos e as ligações da língua com o homem e a sociedade. Alinguagem está intimamente ligada à realidade da vida cotidiana, uma realidade que busca a interação dos interlocutores, sempre objetivando a consecução de um texto semanticamente satisfatório, e a linguagem da publicidade, mediante sua trama argumentativa, é o simulacro ideal para esse processo. A linguagem publicitária tem sido considerada um gênero discursivo caracterizado pela riqueza lingüística de sua elaboração, valendo-se de mecanismos pertencentes não só ao nível gramatical da língua, mas também ao nível discursivo-argumentativo que direciona os desejos do interlocutor/consumidor. Com base na Semântica Argumentativa, examinaremos determinados procedimentos responsáveis pela estrutura argumental do texto, desvendada por meio de pistas/direções que os referidos elementos lingüísticos oferecem. São eles: operadores argumentativos, figuras de repetição (anáfora, epístrofe, concatenação e paralelismo), adjetivação e homonímia.

Advertising to children in Brazilian families: a critical discourse analysis of reception

This article aims to contribute to the understanding of the reception of advertising to children in Brazilian families. The topic of children's advertising has gained importance in recent years because of the civil movements for regulation by-law of advertising to children in Brazil. In view of the various interests at stake, the matter has been the subject of discussion and controversy. Therefore the objective of this paper is to cooperate to the debate, in order to understand the reception of children's advertising in family dynamics. We chose here the focus in the perspective of mothers and fathers. Four semi-structured interviews for the mothers and fathers of children aged between six and 10 years, conducted in two schools in the Distrito Federal, were analyzed. The category ‘appraisal’ was considered for analysis of positions, behaviors and feelings present in the discourse of the parents. The reflections were guided on Critical Discourse Analysis and reveal that advertising to children has been responsible for a determinate disharmony in the family environment, while at the same time strengthen traditional roles of social actors.

The internet has been an increasingly important support for advertising various products. We witness the proliferation of educational advertisements on youtube, aiming for membership of an audience that craves attend university.

Therefore, based on scenes of enunciation, we see the construction of a bold ethos, brave, challenging, among others.
