O cantar e o poetizar no Rio Uruguai: o ethos discursivo personificado em poemas e canções São-Borjenses

Abstract

The theme of this study is about enunciative scene, scenography and the construction of the discursive ethos of Uruguay River in são-borjense poems and songs. Therefore, this study shows the scenography as an enunciative construct and possibilities of representation of an ethos of Uruguay River, which flows and shares borders and goes through the historic city of São Borja. Its river reflects the culture and the local literature. The river is a character/protagonist in songs and poems of writers, who are from São Borja. The objective of this study is to show and analyze the scenography that creates the discursive ethos, as an image of itself, as well as verify how the representation of Uraguay River is expressed in são- borjense songs and poems, which are characterized by aspects of identity and culture. The theoretical assumptions of this research are the symbolic, cultural, identity studies of Stuart Hall (2014), Pierre Bourdieu (1998) and Michel de Certeau (2012, 2014), who contribute to understand the history and the formation of each society, in a process, which gathers beliefs, artistic manifestations and characteristics that are related to the sociocultural field. The theoretical foundation of this study is based on the global semantics, in its constitutive plans of discourse, and categories related to enunciative scenes, scenography and discursive ethos, proposed by Dominique Maingueneau (2008a, 2008b, 2015). The corpora of this research are songs and poems about Uruguay River, texts with discourses, which come from symbolic, cultural and social memory of são-borjense identity constitution. The research is exploratory, bibliographic and documental with qualitative approach. Through the analysis of the literary productions, it is noticed that besides the discursive activity of the literary and artistic composition, there is a personification in the productions. There is an image of itself, an embodied ethos that comes from Uruguay River, which moves from its natural course of geography integrator in a way that reachs symbolized condition and incarnate in the corpora.Keywords: Culture.
