Ethos discursivo, interdiscurso e cenas enunciativas em canções interpretadas por Elza Soares

Abstract

This thesis deals with the constitution of the discursive ethos, related to enunciative scenes and to interdiscourse, in songs interpreted by Elza Soares that present as a central theme of the fight against domestic violence and female empowerment. This work is based on the French line of discourse analysis in its new trends, from the approach of Dominique Maingueneau, as theoretical and methodological support since, according to this author, this methodology proposes to study language considering its exteriority. The general objective was to examine the way of constitution of the ethos in the lyrics "Maria da Vila Matilde," "Mulher do fim do mundo," "Língua solta," "Dentro de cada um," and "Não tá mais de graça." The following specific objectives were discussed: to deepen the studies of Discourse Analysis; to know the life and work of Elza Soares, taking into account its importance for Brazilian Popular Music as a black female representative; to analyze the selected songs based on the discursive ethos, the enunciative scenes and interdiscourse. It is believed that the enunciating subject speaks from the place it occupies in the relationship of forces that constitute society. After the analysis of the song, based on the themes "domestic violence" and "empowerment," the results pointed to the construction of an image of oneself projected in the empowerment of peripheral black women and in the confrontation of the dominant patriarchal discourse, due to the enunciating subject questions and denounces the established structures of violence. Through interdiscursive traces, it was observed that the song was woven from the recognition of the other and the voices historically marked by the fight against violence and the silencing of women. In addition, the construction of the scenography as a space of empowerment and confrontation gave the discourse a tone of complaint that contributed to building an enunciator with an active voice in society and an enunciator subject of representativeness.
