Diálogos entre autor e revisor: arena discursiva na ferramenta comentário

Abstract

Any text would not be published without the look of otherness of the reviewer. This study, based on Applied Linguistic, analyze the relationship between reviewer and author, before the process of publishing a work. This relationship underlies in the utterances produced in the comments of the tool of reviewing, disponible in a software of texts edition. This discursive gender has a characteristic clearly dialogic, as long as is expecting an answer from the discussion partner. This responsiveness is, sometimes, polemic, when the author can come establish a ideological conflict with reviewer, taking a position related to the suggestions of chance to the text. This study presents a qualitative and interpretivist analyze, since it aims to understand and interpret some aspects in the interaction between who writes and who reviews the text. As theoretical references, it has the presupposes of the Circle of Bakhtin, related to concepts like: dialogism (between author and reviewer), look of otherness/extralocal point of view (that is present in the reviewer process), not alibi (who signs the text has the responsibility about it), chronotope (dialogism among subjects in a diverse space-time), open and hidden polemic (not always harmonious among subjects during interaction). The data collection consists of comments in didactic materials produced by Secretaria de Educação a Distância from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, from 2012 to 2015. Results point that the work of reviewing is a discursive arena where points of view are continuously in conflict, being reviewed and, eventually, reworked, having, in this process, multiples learnings and to both subjects. In this interrelation, each one must be conscious about their place and the limits inherent to this activity, stablishing negotiations to create a work in group in a cooperative way, resulting in a didactic material appropriate to the teaching and the learning of the student from Distance Education.
