Construction of meanings and dialogism in practices with wing cartoons in ENADE evaluations for Portuguese letters
Dialogical Discourse Analysis, Discourse, Proficiency Exam, Cartoons.
Centered on the perspective of indisciplinary and transgressive Applied Linguistics (LA), which explodes the relationship between theory and practice (MOITA LOPES, 2006) and which conceives language as a social practice, crucially imbricated in contextual elements of realization (FABRÍCIO, 2006), this dissertation proposes a discussion, based on the assumptions of Dialogical Discourse Analysis (ADD), about the “charge” genre presented / identified in five tests directed to students graduating from the course of Letras-Português, from the Faculty of Letters (FALE ), from the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL), in the tests of the National Student Performance Exam (ENADE), between 2005 and 2017. Therefore, the construction of meanings identified in the cartoons, based on verb-visual elements from the images and, consequently, of the various interpretations, it can be understood in a complex way, taking into account the tangle of information (different contexts) that are presented in this genre. Through the construction of meanings about gender, the notions of “discourse”, “word”, “interdiscourse” and “interaction” served as a support for discussion and analysis, under the contribution of Bakhtin (1998; 2011), Volóchinov (2017) , Fiorin (2018), Braith (2005) and Rohling (2014). The contributions from the perspective of the “Institutional Evaluation”, by Dias Sobrinho (2007), Saviani (1999) and Hoffmann (2014), also served to emphasize the importance of the evaluation process in the university context, as well as to promote a set of associations interpretative in the light of contemporary educational research. As for the methodology, the research approach is qualitative (LÜDKE & ANDRÉ, 1986; FREITAS, 2007), within a socio-historical perspective, based on the understanding that the source of research data is the context in which the event emerges. And, finally, the construction of meaning that is expected from students graduating from the Literature-Portuguese course, with regard to linguistic-discursive knowledge, should be focused on the construction of discursive networks and the construction of new knowledge. of contemporaneity, in order to think about other speeches in relation to their worldview.
