Abstract

This project seeks to investigate the meanings produced by subjects-browsers on children and youth literature, meaning they entered the Museum of the Person, a portal that (re)collects, organizes and puts into circulation sayings known as accounts of life histories. This will be used the theoretical assumptions of discourse analysis of French parentage, namely, the notions of speech, subject and discursive memory, understanding language as a place of inscription of history. It is therefore in our interest to study also the cyberspace as a place of discourse producer and lanes with multiple meanings, in which various resources resulting from new technologies such as hypertext, blog, podcast, web radio etc., combine to build a web of words that (re)tells the life story of individuals who make up positions usually silenced in conventional media. As the corpus of our research, we propose cuts of interviews, audio, text, images and discussion forums on children's literature and youth enrolled in the Museum of the Person, in which we catch in the materiality of language, meanings produced by subjects-literature about browsers reading and writing. We expect from our study and reflection, contribute to the dialogue between theory and discourse studies of cyberspace and the electronic network. (AU)
