Representação social da voz do Estado no discurso do desenvolvimento tecnológico

Abstract

The aim of the research is to look for to understand how was made up the interdiscursive net that driven the legitimation to the science and technology speech, for the construction of hydroelectric power stations in Brazil seeking the entrance of the nation in the order of the world speech of the industrialization. For that we selected a text-report of 1905 ordered by the Government of the State of São Paulo, counting on the positive evaluation of the area for materialization of such a project. We tried to understand also as the subjects of the speech reach the economical objectives of the State of São Paulo and the pre-industrial bourgeoisie in the initial period of the century XX, through the scientific rational speech that it anchors the institutional speech of the State, sustained by the positivist philosophy of scientific stamp. The research looks for essential elements in the official history of Brazil marked by the exploration always searching of the extracted natural wealth, without accurate feedback for the population, it already revealing in that time the deletion of the voice of the people. To defend our hypotheses we used as theoretical base the authors of the French tradition of Analysis of the Speech, essentially Michel Pêcheux, Michel Foucault and Mikhail Bakhtin.
