A (des)construção identitária de indígenas sul-mato-grossenses no contexto discursivo do Facebook

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to discuss the identity constitution of the Indigenous of Mato Grosso do Sul from the interpretation of writing in postings made on the social network called Facebook. As specific objectives, we aim to track and point in the discourse of/on indigenous tombstones, by analyzing the linguistic materiality found in verbal constructions and see how this indigenous subject is represented and is represented in this social network. We start from the initial hypothesis that the identity representation of indigenous people of Mato Grosso do Sul, constructed through discourses broadcasted on Facebook, it is not the subject of which constitute a fixed and unchanging identity but this is a group that it is amid a tangle of identifications of self and other (the white). Thus, we assume that the discourses produced amid the virtual space, they have language tags that point to discourses of exclusion in an attempt to social inclusion. This research is justified by the importance of showing, through academic writing, a problem that affects the social segments that is conflictually coexistence between indigenous people and the white, and how this contact influences the identity displacement of the Indigenous of Mato Grosso do Sul by placing him in the context. The research is anchored in theories of discourse analysis, the French perspective , so the studies Pêcheux (2009,1990) and Orlandi (2007, 2008) in relation to the concepts of discourse and subject; Coracini (2007,2010,2011), Hall (2005) and Castells (1999) with regard to the study of social identities. To support analysis about virtual writing, we have the studies of Lévy (1996,1999) and Baudrillard (2011) . To discuss the relations of power/knowledge, the writing itself, as well as the process of subjectivity in the constitution of subjects, it is worth the assumptions of Foucault (2012, 1987,1983,1988,2009). Methodologically, relying on Foucault archeogenealogy to make the historic discursive events in order to observe the conditions in which the discourses on indigenous issues of Mato Grosso do Sul in Facebook are produced. The dissertation is divided into three chapters. In the first we present the conditions of discourse production produced about the indigenous people of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the social network Facebook. Then, we discuss the theoretical conceptions of discourse analysis, which we believe to be fundamental for the construction of the research. In the third, we point out some identity representations of the Indigenous of Mato Grosso do Sul constructed through discourses broadcasted on Facebook. The corpus was cut from the notion of discursive formation, Foucault (1987), as this concept allows us to meet existing regularities behind the dispersion of discourses present in our study. Partial results show that the Indigenous of Mato Grosso do Sul represented on Facebook is permeated by the culture and by the voice of the other (the white) therefore consists in the midst of trying to mark their social space.
