O rompimento da barragem de Fundão em Mariana (MG): do acontecimento histórico ao estudo discursivo de charges

Abstract

In the present research, subsidized by the Discourse Analysys linked to Pêcheux, as it has been worked in the Brazil, we aim the understanding the discursive functioning of the historical event of the breakdown of the Fundão dam (MG-2015) located in the Bento Rodrigues sub-district, on Mariana (MG). For this purpose, firstly, we reflect if this tragedy is a discursive event (PÊCHEUX, 1999) or an enunciative event (INDURSKY, 2008), parallel to that, we analyze political cartoons discourses produced after the breakdown dam and published on the different websites. In the dessuperficialization of the materialities of the political cartoons that compose the discursive corpus, we focus the preponderance of the “politician” in the political cartoon, for the possible senses of arraignment, critique, claim and struggle produced. Still, we examine the relations of interdiscursivity present in the political cartoons and we conceive the humor and irony effects as possibilities of the traverse of the politician. Furthermore, it should be noted that, when we discuss the political cartoons, we already consider like as a gesture of interpretation of a subject-author political cartoonish. This study was divided in four chapters, two destined for the mobilization of the necessary theoretical concepts and construction of the methodology, and other two destined to the interpretative gestures.
