Contexturas escritas do Gelasal: faces e rastros de uma concepção de língua(gem)

Abstract

In this work, we aim to investigate the conception of language of the Study Group “x”, based on academic summaries, source documents, from researchers of this study group, published in the annals of the II National Meeting of Applied Linguistics. The research is of a documentary, qualitative and interpretive nature, in which we proceed with an enunciative-discursive reading of the corpus, referring to Bakhtin (2016), Volochinov (2018), Albuquerque Jr. (2008, 2011, 2015 2017, 2023) , Santos Filho and Santos (2024), Moita Lopes (2006) and Fabrício (2017), among others. The results indicate that the collective of studies adopts an enunciative-discursive conception as the predominant tendency of language, however, despite the predominance, there is a theoretical-methodological coupling with a performative conception of language, the understanding of language as a rhizome and the theoretical enterprise of a “geo-history” or “discursive geography”, in which it is understood that there is an inseparable intersection between language, territory and the invention/construction of social spaces. This time, we conclude that the theoretical-methodological procedure adopted by the study collective makes it “unlearn” and “unpractice” modernist ideals of language, by realizing that intelligible reality, which includes the territory, is constructed and performed by discursive practices.
