As digressões como fuga do tema proposto no processo de escritura e reescritura de artigos de opinião

Abstract

The objective of this study is to understand how the digressions studied orally, can function as an escape from the proposed theme during the process of reading, writing and rewriting an opinion article. We understand the digression as a portion of conversation that is not directly related to the topic in progress (Preti, 1999). The data production process for this research is divided into two parts: production and recording, and through them, the analysis of that data. These data were produced and recorded in the Reading, Writing and Rewriting Workshop of an opinion article, a course offered on the premises of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, for high school students and academics of the first period of the degree course in Letters of the university itself . For this research, we opted to analyze the writing process of a text, in its first writing version, by a student from a public school in the city of Pato Branco Paraná. The theoretical foundation is based on the concepts of text, discursive topic and a discussion about the tours and how they are divided, grounded by theorists like Bakhtin (1999) and Koch (1995), Brown and Yule (1983), Preti (1999 ), Dascal & Katriel (1982), among other theorists who will give voice to the discussion. Therefore, the objective of this work is to understand how these digressions can occur in writing and act as an escape from the theme, or not, in the process of writing opinion articles. The results showed that not all tours cause an escape from the proposed theme, but that the search on many sites, the lack of previous reading and the paraphrase of other texts contributed to the writer's escape from her main topic in writing. In addition, the research hopes to contribute to the need for a reformulation in the teaching process of textual production, since the knowledge about oral excursions can contribute to understand how the escapes of the theme happen in writing.
