description This work presents a discursive analysis of a literary work that explores extremely current topics, such as social and especially homophobic prejudices. We will examine in particular Amaro (Bom-crioulo), Aleixo and D. Carolina, characters from the creation O Bom-Crioulo, produced in 1895 by Adolfo Caminha, one of the main Brazilian authors of the Naturalist style. Specifically, we will highlight the discourses, power relations and subjectivity of the subjects represented here by the protagonists. Finally, we will show how these concepts shape society, how subjects of a particular time period are constructed by its discursive practices and the exercise of power relations, and since these are manufactured subjects, fabricated, constructed by these discursive practices, by the constituted powers, they thus become “useful” subjects to society. Such an approach is based on theoretical concepts by Michel Pêcheux and, especially, by Michel Foucault.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise discursiva, utilizando uma obra literária que traz temas extremamente atuais tais como o preconceito social e homofóbico. Trabalharemos em especial com os personagens Amaro (Bom-crioulo), Aleixo e D. Carolina, da obra Bom-Crioulo, produzida em 1895 por Adolfo Caminha, um dos principais autores brasileiros do Estilo Naturalista. Especificamente, evidenciaremos os discursos, as relações de poder e a subjetividade dos sujeitos representados pelos protagonistas. Tal abordagem tem como fundamentação teórica conceitos de Michel Pêcheux e, principalmente, de Michel Foucault acerca do discurso e do sujeito. Tentaremos mostrar como estes conceitos se relacionam e moldam a sociedade, como os sujeitos que fazem parte de uma determinada época da sociedade são construídos pelas práticas discursivas e pelo exercício das relações de poder, pois eles são sujeitos criados, fabricados, construídos pelas práticas discursivas, pelos poderes constituídos, transformando-se em sujeitos “úteis” à sociedade. 2018-07-31 2022-03-18T18:33:32Z 2022-03-18T18:33:32Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/10885 10.52780/res.10885 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63293 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/10885/7471 Copyright (c) 2018 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 23 n. 44 (2018): Dossiê: Sociologia e literatura nas diversas formas e fases da modernidade 1982-4718 1414-0144
