Notícias de celebridade e produção de sentidos: uma proposta de práticas de leitura e escrita na EJA

Abstract

The research proposes, out of Discourse Analyses (DA) in its French branch, reading and writing practices to Young and Adult Education Program (EJA), in which Language is reworked, being no more understood as a mere information transmitting tool, but replaced to the conceptual level of Discourse. In this way DA concepts, such as subjetc, ideology, discoursive formation, authorship and interdiscourse guided the proposals for text writings and its analyses, allowing a new look over narratives of social reality - throught reading, debating and argumentatives comments, in post style, on media news of celebrities and on students themselves - with the criation of autobiografical parodies. The subject, which in this theoretical branch is not a synonym of individual, is now designed as discoursive subject, therefore assuming its historical and social roles, while ideology is perceived through Language, "not as worldview nor concealment of reality, but as structuring mechanisms of signification process (Orlandi, 2005, p. 96). Since these discoursive shaping elements are identified, the production of meaning requested in diferent proposals of reading and writing were analized in a processual perspective, prioring the listening and knowledge exchange in the classroom. The research methodology and its interventive nature is based on qualitative records and interpretation of activities, evaluating the results and the social interactions deriving from these activities. Thus it was possible to perceive how the project, being its activities taken under DA theory, could contribute to a more critical and autonomous learning of reading and writing practices at Portuguese classes, when the teacher, while recognizing the diferent discourses present at society and materialized in the texts, brought them into debate, allowing the students to question these discourses, identifying or oposing themselves to them, reshaping their own speechs in the social dynamics in which they are.
