O OLHAR ENQUANTO GESTO-SENTIDO PARA A ANÁLISE DE DISCURSO

Abstract

This research considers the concept of Gesture-sense, as a point of intersection between the body and discourse as a discursive memory, involved by the conditions of production, that is, by the conjuncture, socio-historical processes that move through memory of saying, taking the look (gaze) and its drifts as the object of research. In order to understand the discursive movements produced by/in the look, this work uses different excerpts – significant materialities – in the composition of the corpus of analysis, such as articles, images and discursive formulations. Thus, to analyze such excerpts, the French Discourse Analysis method was used, with a pecheutian and orlandian bias, thus enabling destabilizations around the effects of evidence on the possible meanings of the gesture-sense of looking, taking into account the notion proposed by AD that the subject is also constituted by the unconscious – ideological formations, which constantly suffers the effects of this constitution in discursive production. In this way, it became possible to discursively understand the look and interpret its possible meanings produced in different production conditions, observing the discursive memory functioning from different utterances. In this context, Thus, it was observed how the drifts are produced from the possible meanings of the look, engendering everything from a simple anatomical action of moving the facial muscles, to countless possible regionalizations of sayings – discursive formations – of/about the look.
