Abstract

This project, which theoretical-methodological basis is grounded on the Bakhtinian studies, turns itself to speeches vehiculated on social networks that reflect and refract political positions, from the ideological signs of "nation", "hate" and "resistance". The objective is to comprehend through the analysis of these three key-signs the clashes raised by distinct social voices, in the context of the electoral political dispute of 2018 and of the beginning of the newly federal government, in 2019. Therefore, it is based on the notions of dialogy, ideological sign, social voice, utterance and translinguistic. The terms mentioned are taken as arena/speech of digladiation of value judgments. Through them, it is intended to discuss how the meaning and valuation processes are built and materialized on/by language. The three signs taken to the analysis circulate on social networks and Facebook and Instagram are the platforms where they were withdrawn, because of the great number of views and sharings. The justification of this proposal is its social relevance of thinking about the picture lived and the theoretical contribution, once it proposes to reflect about contemporary phenomenon of language and about society, as well to comprehend how the political speech and its forms of resignification arise and become living on social networks and exceed this dimensions to, through irony, satire and other discursive processes, in a certain way, interfere on the constitution of a society and of a whole culture.
