A constituição da autoria do gênero discursivo charge: um estudo com chargistas potiguares

Abstract

In this thesis, we are engaged in a descriptive-interpretative analysis of the notion of authorship in potiguar cartoons, based on certain analytical categories, which are: the discursive positions that authors draws in certain social places; the traits of style that are present in the cartoons and can generate certain effects of meaning and humor; the rites of writing and production that mark a certain author, and the discursive regularities that are present in the cartoons that compose our work. Therefore, we use the theoretical-methodological assumptions of the French Discourse Analysis to carry out this research. In what understands the notion of authorship, we are based on the readings provided in Foucault (1992) and Maingueneau (2010), on style in Bakhtin (2003) and Palhano (2011), we also reflect on the notion of discursive field (MAINGUENEAU, 2010; BOURDIEU, 2010, 1997, 1993), since the authors are interlaced in the spaces of the journalistic, artistic and humoristic fields. Our work is inserted in the area of Applied Linguistics and in a qualitative-interpretative approach, as a way of investigating social reality. Thus, our study turns to an activity related to the language issues present in the discursive field of humor, art and journalism. Our doctorate thesis has as corpus the cartoons and the testimonies of 3 (three) cartoon authors that compose the field of humor in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, they are: Eliabe Alves, Ivan Cabral and Rodrigo Brum. The interviews were collected through semi-structured interviews with the authors. The analysis starts from categories such as discursive positions, style traits, writing and production rites and discursive regularities that show the constitution of the authorship of the potiguar cartoons. It is concluded that the subject to belong to a discursive field assumes certain positions that are often conditioned by the social place that is belonged to, that the traits of style adopted by the cartoonists materialize in the cartoons and mark the cartoon productions, that rites of writing and production are followed by the authors for the production of their cartoons and discursive regularities are also present and constitute the recurrences in the production of each one.
