A travessia do leitor : histórias de leitura e memória discursiva nos dizeres de alunas adultas

Este trabalho trata da formação do leitor adulto. A partir de uma Oficina de Leitura, os alunos sistematizaram suas leituras através da escrita de um memorial. Após a oficina, realizei entrevistas com as alunas. O recorte para análise foi feito a partir dos memoriais e entrevistas de duas alunas. O referencial teórico-metodológico adotado na prática pedagógica é a Pedagogia de Projetos, em interface com a Análise de Discurso. Com relação ao referencial teórico, realizo uma pesquisa sobre a leitura, considerando basicamente duas vozes: a voz dos escritores e a voz da academia. O conceito de letramento é utilizado para discutir a prática social da leitura. Fundamento meu trabalho numa visão discursiva de leitura, elaborada desde Michel Pêcheux. Entendo a leitura como um acontecimento, que desloca e desregula a memória discursiva. A análise é feita com dois objetivos: evidenciar relações entre a história de vida e a história de leitura; mostrar os efeitos de sentido em suas relações com diversos pré-construídos do sujeito-leitor adulto. O intradiscurso é composto pelos memoriais e entrevistas de duas alunas. Na análise feita, o interdiscurso é constituído por formações discursivas religiosa, trabalhadora e familiar, que marcaram a posição de sujeito aluna adulta Em função disso, apresento uma Formação Discursiva Aluna Adulta heterogênea. Nesta, situo o sujeito adulto analisado, tendo em vista propiciar subsídios ao ensino de leitura. Defendo que as alunas não se consideram excluídas socialmente, ficando o lugar de exclusão restrito à escola e às práticas leitoras. Também observo que as condições para a ampliação das práticas de leitura, e conseqüentemente das condições de letramento desse sujeito, não estão dadas nos seus contextos sociais, cabendo à Educação de Jovens e Adultos promovê-la de modo condizente.

Mulher, uma questão de identidade : a perspectiva discursiva

Esta dissertação analisa produções textuais de autoria de alunas universitárias provenientes de distintas áreas do saber científico (Ciências Humanas, Ciências Exatas, Ciências da Saúde). Partindo do tema comum a todas essas produções, “ser mulher é...”, o objetivo deste trabalho é discutir os processos em que se constitui a identidade feminina, como recurso para se chegar à noção de identidade discursiva, questão central. Uma vez entendida como unidade imaginária, a noção de identidade discursiva permite pesquisar o modo como o sentido emerge pleno de atravessamentos, disponibilizados por uma memória que retorna, se atualiza e se transforma. Algo semelhante se observa na instância do sujeito, pois a imagem de unicidade e fechamento é apenas uma ilusão que denega os processos que promovem seu descentramento. Assim, marcados pelo não-um, sentido e sujeito têm, na identidade, a presença da falta do significante – via de entrada à exterioridade. A primeira parte do trabalho está subdivida em três capítulos, que buscam organizar os fundamentos teóricos que embasam a perspectiva discursiva a que se submete a noção de identidade. O primeiro capítulo traz contribuições advindas da Psicanálise, para compreender o modo como o sujeito mulher se deixa determinar em sua condição desejante, faltante, atestando isso na imagem que faz de si. O segundo capítulo percorre leituras situadas no campo dos Estudos Culturais, com o objetivo de averiguar como processos histórico-sociais contribuem na determinação e fragmentação da identidade feminina. O terceiro capítulo reúne as principais noções da Análise do Discurso Francesa, para fundamentar o conceito de identidade discursiva que baliza as análises seguintes. E, por fim, a segunda parte contém o quarto capítulo, que se destina às seqüências discursivas, submetidas a dois momentos concomitantes de análise – busca por posições-sujeito e delineamento da formação discursiva dominante –, visando a compreender e discutir a configuração proposta à noção de identidade: uma unidade imaginária.

Auto-exclusão discursiva : um estudo de produção de sentidos de professores em formação mediado por tecnologias intelectuais

Inicio com a argumentação dicotômica entre sujeito e objeto para compreender o gesto de interpretação das professoras no relato teórico de suas experiências estudantil e profissional, explícito nas duas formas de registros tecnológicos: o Memorial de Formação e o Forchat (Ambiente telemático). Ambos são tecnologias intelectuais de escrita, potenciadores da relação cognitiva entre sujeito/instituição no processo de construção do conhecimento. O percurso analítico da argumentação tem como pressuposto teórico a análise de discurso francesa que trabalha o acontecimento no entrecruzamento discursivo: paráfrase e polissemia, objetivando compreender o movimento de tensão das professoras em relação às teorias que se apropriam e identificar as conseqüências teóricas dessa apropriação no relato da prática pedagógica refletidas no Memorial e no Forchat. No jogo tenso entre paráfrase (repetição do mesmo) e polissemia (o diferente), expõe-se o olhar/leitor a presença de três acontecimentos discursivos: a sistematização escrita do memorial, a auto-exclusão discursiva e o discurso outro. Assim, na interseção, entre eles, torna visíveis os seguintes pontos conclusivos de análise: a compreensão do gesto leitor/escritor das professoras e seus efeitos de sentidos, bem como, suas implicações na vida prática, levando a reflexão de que as conseqüências teóricas na experiência discursiva não acontecem numa interlocução ideologicamente institucionalizada, cujos sentidos sempre lá, estabilizados, esvaziando a possibilidade do sujeito criar um espaço pessoal de múltiplas interpretações.

A constituição discursiva de identidades étnicorraciais de docentes negros/as: silenciamentos, batalhas travadas e histórias (re) significadas

In this research study, in which I discuss the discursive constitution of ethnic-racial identity of black male and female teachers, I understand that the process of identity formation of the subject covers both personal/family and social/professional areas. In it, I propose, in general terms, to analyze the discursive practices present in narratives of black male and female teachers when they look for their social insertion into different social contexts, identifying outbreaks of resistance that are present in their process of ethnicracial identities. The fundamental issue that permeates the survey investigates: how can black male and female teachers behave discursively in the construction of ethnicracial identities in multiple distinct contexts? The theoretical foundations that support this research work come from theoretical fields that complement each other; among them, French Discourse Analysis, Foucault s Theory and cultural studies. These, even with their singularities, are being interlaced by the conception that conceives language as social practice. Methodologically, I adopt an interpretative and qualitative paradigm to examine not only the linguistic repertoires that compose these teachers written narratives written but also the data that were generated by semi-structured interviews. The results show that the subjects, realizing contrary forces that interfere in their process of social inclusion, make use of acetic techniques to (re)signify the history of their lives

Inscrição discursiva da subjetividade homoafetiva na G Magazine

This thesis, which is entitled Registration discourse of subjectivity homo affective in G Magazine, is proposed to describe / interpret modes of subjectivity that is set in the discourse of homo affective confessions, recorded in letters addressed to G Magazine. The study is based on the theories of Discourse Analysis French, with a focus in the discussions Foucaultian remarkably discursive practices that produce meanings about the processes of subjectivity and sexuality. Methodologically, the research is of appreciative/qualitative character and falls in the field of Applied Linguistics (LA), at a press that the historical and cultural reality of the subject, establishing dialogues with many other fields of knowledge, which deal of the subject matter of speech and sexuality. Data analysis indicates that the magazine G Magazine works as a discursive space, where individuals on condition that homosexual, take it as the place that it gives security to talk to you, it's worrying, because the nature of the journal it suggests a belonging to the same discursive formation - that of homo affective . Thus, some of which are felt constructed for the investigation of the letters selected for this study showed that the forms of subjectivity of such homo affective are emerging in the game of the bans, the other is that as a subject of sexuality and to materialize in operation the confession. These homo affective, in a gesture of incessant registration of alternatives to be subject to its own truth of their sexuality, to seek his party in the case, the psychologist, a referral, a "light" that can guide them in an attempt to get rid of the forms of to subject. Installs itself in this way, as a point of resistance: the attempt to dissociate itself be of some states of submission, opening itself to other ways of being subject

Linguagem, cognição e mundo: o livro do desassossego e a construção discursiva da realidade

This study analyzes the processes of meaning construction in the Livro do Desassossego, by semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares - Fernando Pessoa. We use theoretical grounds from an interface between Cognitive Linguistics and Textual Linguistics to observe how certain linguistic mechanisms build a reality that tells us of a time, a being and his conceptions of language and writing. We focus on description and explanation of procedures of categorization and referentiation accomplished, for example, through metaphor and metonymy. For the construction of the intended theoretical interface, we use analytical categories proposed and developed by the Socio-cognitive Approach of Language, Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Mental Space Theory. Armed with this theoretical background, we observed the dynamics of language in relation to its social, cultural and historical features, as well as the cognitive aspects that underlie it. We seek, therefore, encourage discussions about the functioning of language considering primarily the creative processes that allow us to organize and shape our experiences. We also try to provide an approximation of Linguistics, Literature and Philosophy, with a view to relations between language structure, cognitive activity and socio-cultural organization. From the results obtained, we found that a literary text attests, with a particular property, the mutual relations between language, cognition and culture, as indicates cognitive approach to language studies

A heterogeneidade discursiva em revistas de divulgação científica

This research aiming at show an interpretative description about the form and function of Scientific Publication (SP) discursive genre, in two magazines of national circulation. We analyzed subjects published from 2004 to 2006, in the magazines Revista do Professor and Revista Nova Escola. We see at SP subjects reported discourses, into its two main presentation forms of other voices: direct discourse and indirect discourse. We have established some aims, first, we analyzing different forms to mark the discursive heterogeneity, by the reason the writer conceptualize an image of his/her interlocutor. The second one, we intend to look at the differences between marked heterogeneity according to the writer production, journalists and researchers, and finally, we investigate more or less occurrence of cited discourse, in what is concerned with different perspectives at communities that produce this kind of text. As theoretical background to our discussions we followed socio-historical perspective, its language and subject discourse conceptualizations. We did it mainly based on Bakhtin s works (1929; 1995; 2003). We were also based on theoretical discussions about discursive heterogeneity by Authier-Revuz (1990; 1998; 2004) and Maingueneau (1993; 2001). At analyzing the social dimensions of our data, we identified as relevant elements in the construction of the subjects (stories) the image that the writer (reporter) did/construct about his/her interlocutor as well as the use of different strategies, for example: the text produced by the journalists frequently use of direct discourse forms, while texts produced by researchers are almost fulfilled by indirect discourse. Beside this, texts are different in their social voices that are in their discourse. In the case of text produced by journalist are predominant the discursive scene of the school agents: teachers, students, parents, among others. Otherwise, in the texts produced by researchers already-said utterances, that in their majority of times, come from scientific discourse

A Representação discursiva da figura feminina no jornal O Porvir (Currais Novos/Rio Grande do Norte - 1926-1929)

The objective of this paper is to analyze how the female figure was portrayed in discursive narratives in the bi-weekly newspaper O PORVIR , which circulated in Currais Novos, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, between May 2, 1926 and January 20, 1929. Our analysis was based on the semantics of the text, by applying one of the primary concepts used in Textual Analysis of Speeches, Discursive Representation (ADAM, 2011; RODRIGUES; PASSEGGI; SILVA NETO, 2010). Textual Analysis of Speeches has its roots in Textual Linguistics and consists of a theoretical and descriptive approach (ADAM, 2011). This research is characterized as documentary (SEVERINO, 2007) and its corpus includes a review of 39 editions of the aforementioned newspaper, of which we extracted 292 articles that dealt with the female figure and 396 statements for analysis. We used the following semantic categories: referencing (CASTILHO, 2010; NEVES, 2007; KOCH; MARCUSCHI, 1998; MARCUSCHI, 2008; KOCH, 2009); predication (NEVES, 2007; RODRIGUES; PASSEGGI; SILVA NETO, 2010); modification (ADAM, 2011); and spacial and temporal localization (RODRIGUES; PASSEGGI; SILVA NETO, 2010). Our analysis revealed that lady, mother, wife and homemaker were most represented, and always combined with questions about motherhood, marriage and devotion to the home. Such representation does not diverge from pre-colonial models in the early twentieth century, which served as a standard for the female figure

Vozes sociais e dimensão ética da lingüística aplicada: a construção discursiva da área nos CBLAs

This research deals with Applied Linguistics and its structure as a scientific field, in compliance with knowledge produced within the range of the Brazilian Congresses of Applied Linguistics (CBLA). The purpose of this research is to understand the meanings disclosed by the voices that make up the scientific discourse on this field, pointing toward its course of development, the ethical position that is peculiar to it and how this position is represented in its scientific practice. The scientific discourse typical of the production of knowledge of Applied Linguistics is now construed as leading to practices that define the production of this field of learning whose object is to study man and man s relationship to language. Theoretical groundwork is anchored on the work the Social Sciences have developed on the paradigmatic crises of science and the social changes resulting from modern and post-modern times, on Applied Linguistics researches on the identity of the field of study, its courses and ethics, and on the bakhtinian theory that supports a view of language as a social practice built under the aegis of the subject s ethics and responsibility. The corpus of this work comprises qualitative and quantitative data made into articles presented at the CBLA. The research methodology conforms to the interpretive paradigm and has the concept of social voices as its category of analysis. Results point towards the progress of Applied Linguistics that, from its role as a mediator discipline between linguistic theory and practical applications, is assuming a position in a field of study of its own, independent, with transdisciplinary characteristics, pursuing through its quests and redefinitions to get closer to the dimension of life and assuming the ethical position of taking on responsibility for its doings and sayings

Em cantos de reis: a tradição discursiva em Autos de Natal

This study incorporates many areas of knowledge to the Linguistics field, as it centers the social historicity of Brazilian and autos potiguares on two analytical proposes: the presence of linguistic formulas - in its macrostructure - into the paradigm of discursive traditions, following Kabatek (2006), Koch and Oesterreicher (2007), besides the theory of Speech Acts, in its microstructure, proposed by Austin (1990) and Searle (1995). Under Zumthor (1993; 1997; 2000; 2005; 2010), the idea of textual variability (mouvance) was alluded, highlighting that the text is always modifying, according to the performance and reception of the language uses. Considering this theoretical framework, we focus on the trinomial linguistic formulas, orality and performance, in order to describe the dynamics of stability, variation and change, emphasizing yet how extra-linguistic social-historic cultural relations influence its composition. Such discuss is inherent more precisely to Textual Analysis in enhancing the orality tradition as a linguistic support. The text, in its turn, becomes effective as an evocation, motivated by the transmission, reception and variability from its conservation and reiteration. Naturally, a methodological support based on quali-quantitative research was chosen, based on Flick (2009), who justifies the corpus composed by Brazilian Folias de Reis chants and Bois de Reis potiguares . Thereby Language dynamics, subjacent to tradition which takes effect by the use of a common social memory, are observed from two dimensions: on the first, it evocates the sacralization (religious) in which they stand their devotion to biblical History; secondly, a dissacralization with identified and ideological values, inherent to a people culture. The chant shows, in this ludic impulse, a contextualized activity which results in the following conclusion: the changing and stability processes in textual macro and microstructures occur, at the same time, by the adjustment to the use of the text accomplishing a social-political function and an ethical-pedagogic one; supposedly, social relationships arise the tradition and it, on its turn, evocates the variability and the nomadism in the text

Esperando Ulisses: o mito de Penélope à luz da comparação diferencial e discursiva

From the many weavers known, the Queen of Ithaca is certainly among the most famous.Over the years,many writers have dedicated themselves to retell the myth of Penelope in their works by their own way. According to Ute Heidmann, the modern writers recurrence to the Greek myths in order to produce their texts is a renewing discursive practice, which gives new writing and relevance to the myth. (2003, p.47). This work deals with a differential and discursive comparative analysis on the myth of Penelope linking it with two short stories from Brazilian authors: Penélope by João do Rio (1919) and Penélope by Dalton Trevisan (1959). In order to do it, we are supported by: the works of Heidmann (2003, 2006, 2008) and Maingueneau (2006). We also concentrate ourselves on the temporal trace presented in both Penelope s myth and in its modern rewriting so that we can identify how each configuration of the classical myth develops into one of the most celebrated acts of this myth: the waiting. In order to so, we seek support on the studies by Paul Ricoeur (2006), Hans Meyerhoff (1976) and Benedito Nunes (1988)

Referências culturais e heterogeneidade discursiva :Uma proposta para o ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa

The purpose of this research is to approach the English literary text from the point of view of the culture and the heterogeneity of discourse in its role as a source of elements that facilitate the teaching/learning process of English as a foreign language. Several instances of discourse heterogeneity are analyzed through cultural references in the original texts of the following English novels: Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855), published in 1847; The Mill on the Floss, by George Eliot (1819-1890), published in 1860 and Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens (1812-1870), published between 1860 and 1861. Theoretical support was sought in Kramsch, Bakhtin, Maingueneau, Authier-Revuz, Widdowson and Larsen-Freeman. Activities in English are proposed in the end whereby it can be seen that the questions at issue can be used extensively in the classroom.
