| Abstract | |
How do social aspects signify and how are they constructed in the poetic materiality of cordel literature? How does the image of the speaker work in the Northeastern booklets? These were the two questions that guided this Master's degree research. To answer these questions, we selected booklets covering subjects such as urban violence, drug use, Northeastern migration, politics, prejudice, divorce, the use of birth control methods and land reform, among other social issues. During the creation of the corpus, we could notice a strong relationship between the subjects dealt with in cordel and what is shown in the media. In the analysis, we discuss the repetition in cordel of a social voice that is crossed by the voice of the media, but also by those of the State, the Church and the Family. This social voice circulates through the poetic materiality that makes up cordel, producing gestures of interpretation marked by the poetry of the language. The analysis shows that this voice is what allows certain social values and the established relationships repeated in the booklets. This is the voice of the ruling society, but, when it is taken over by cordel, it represents the voice of the people, making unity natural, as if the people were homogeneous. Constituting quivocality, as Pêcheux has taught us! This unity effect, in turn, produces the effect that the cordel author is a speaker for the people. A discourse effect (AU) | |
