Análise de discurso no Brasil: aspectos da invenção e da transmissão no fazer disciplinar

Abstract

This work aims to produce a knowledge about French Discourse Analysis (DA) through Eni P. Orlandi s theoretical production and, as specific goal, to form a possibility of interpretation for the notions of paraphrase and metaphor, from A linguagem e seu funcionamento: as formas do discurso (1983) and establishing relations with Interpretação: autoria, leitura e efeitos do trabalho simbólico (1996) e Análise de Discurso: princípios e procedimentos (1999), with the purpose of reflecting about the development of DA in Brazil, by the analysis of principles and procedures able to justify its disciplinary consistency. We suppose that metalinguistics, as a representation of a domain of knowledge, may be related to epistemology and to the thought about science. However, the representation made by metalinguistics differs from the positive epistemology of science which admits the transparency of epistemic modality, the objectivity and universality of knowledge. Metalinguistics historically built supports the paradox of knowledge and dissimulates the coherence of scientific knowledge which no longer refers itself to the truth, but to scientific communities. These communities point to exclusion, the distribution of knowledge; and inclusion, trough the recognition of equals who can validate its results. The communities also justify the discipline which functions as a possibility to legitimate its existence. The research permits to elaborate a thesis around the idea of paraphrase and metaphor constitute itself, from the disciplinary point of view, as a procedure of appropriation which moves itself rom content analysis , associated to Social Sciences; and moves itself from the signification of Structural Linguistics; making them to work as a discourse, not as a text. The theoretical movement of this notions paraphrase and metaphor - is justified if science is thought as apparently coherent, and justify itself if it s thought in terms of history, thus these procedures place paraphrase and metaphor in the tradition of studies of Language in Brazil.
