Abstract

In this project, we address a possible shift in the doctoral research under development, which, from a theoretical perspective of a francophone discourse analysis, analyze how some Brazilian literary narratives discursively created subjectivities and knowledges of resistance that incorporated sense places to your interlocutors against one of Brazilian dictatorial periods (1964-1985), in which there was great curtailment of what was possible or not to be told / socially and politically read. This hypothesis takes place when we scrutinize the magnitude of these expository texts analyzed through the formation of proper names given to characters. The formation of the name, Michel Pecheux, is the most saturated degree of ideological interpellation over saturated, result of the highest identification determination with elements that circumscribe ideological effects of discursive practices. Pêcheux uses the idea of name as ideological interpellation to argue with studies of Gottlob Frege. For this, proper names have their logical meaning built from references in sentences created by assigning them interpretable referents in any possible "world". Thus, the differences in Pecheux's discourse studies and Frege reside in saying that the name is already in a meaning saturation, because the references are not directly linked to the number of attributes created, but they have to do with the mobilization of identity on discursive practices that are contained in any of language materialization by the subjects of the discourses. Our reasoning will observe how these mobilizations fit historical narratives, composing not only actions and names of the characters, but what it can be represented and understood as a certain path of interpretation and construction of senses for the subjects to resist.
