Abstract

The strength of fiction to think about reality lies in the language. By showing themselves as fiction, Literature and Journalism can get free from the effort of copying what is considered real in order to look for new worlds, new ways to give meaning to the passing time. What would be the potential of conceiving reality as one of the fictional politics that guides and controls the bodies? Could Journalism not take into account, even for a moment, the notion of reality, letting the reader search for new anchors? Pre-released at FLIP, Festa Internacional Literária de Paraty in August 2006, piauí brings even indirectly a deep thought about the relations and tensions among Journalism, Literature, Fiction and Reality. Free to choose its themes at every edition, without basing itself on the hegemonic journalistic agenda, its perspective guarantees space for the unexpected in terms of form and content. As a branch of Cultural Studies (Hall, 2004, 2007) this research analyses the descentered identity and shows that the subject is affected by Culture and is, at the same time, a cultural producer. The most important aim of this study is to exam the meaning involved and revolved in the language of piauí: Journalism, Literature, Fiction, Reality, Literary Journalism, Culture, they all dance in the constitutive instability that the magazine proposes and imposes. The corpus choice was made by using the annual Intentional Sampling and is constituted by five editions: the first one, released at the newsstands (in October 2006) and the other four, when completing its anniversaries (October 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). They will be studied in deep, with the intention of observing the proposed identities in the publication. Identities that one time resolve themselves by assuming its boundaries, on the other revolve in the indetermination. Considering the open features of the object (Eco, 2003), the several possibilities of entering in the research and also the magazine complexity determined the search for complementary methodologies. Discourse Analysis, Semiotics, Literary Analysis, the Theory of Social Representations, Case Study, all them were seen when establishing the methodological perspective. However, during the process, when walking through them, some of their recourses were chosen, but I really got interested in the cartographer's movement, who more than drawing views in movement looks for analysis resources that are not unified, closed to themselves, I mean, they are in movement too, can also be visited and for this reason I assumed the risk of using resources from different methodologies, because I believe that I can tour through them. The goal is to work as the cartographer, whose drawing route "follow and appear while the changing movements of the sights are going on" (Rolnik, 1989: 15). From now on the object will be called view (AU)
