A construção dialógica da identidade : consciência linguística, interação discursiva e palavra alheia

Abstract

We are all vested with identities and, precisely for this reason, identity is a theme that is at the center of broad debates, involving scholars from different fields of knowledge (HALL, 2020; BUTLER, 2018; GIDDENS, 2012; BAUMAN, 2005; ELIAS, 1994). In this dissertation, we approach identity from the theoretical assumptions of Bakhtin and the Circle, considering identity as a process of relational construction, which manifests itself in the discourse of socially and historically constituted subjects. The theoretical-conceptual contribution of Cultural Studies, especially Hall (2014, 2020) and Woodward (2014), enabled a more refined reflection on this process. Our main goal is to develop the notion of dialogical identity based on three fundamental concepts: linguistic consciousness, discursive interaction and the word of others. In articulation, these concepts represent what we define as a responsible and responsive positioning that takes place in the continuum of discursive interaction. From this perspective, the dialogic relationships established in the singularity of the discursive act allow us to conceive identity as a social and ideological phenomenon, performed by a subject-body that positions itself in relation to identity discourses of a more authoritarian and monological orientation or those of a more dialogical and internally persuasive orientation. Although predominantly theoretical, we understand that our proposal must be anchored in the analysis of concrete statements, allowing a critical evaluation of its applicability. To this end, we analyzed the discourse of linguists observing the methodological ordering proposed by Voloshinov (2017, p. 220; 2019, p. 268), seeking to explain the process of dialogic construction of identity from the positioning of linguists in response to the attacks inflicted on the category during the repercussion of what became known as "the textbook case", which occurred in 2011.
