Abstract

RESUMONeste artigo, o objetivo é rastrear, na emergência de enunciados realizados em cartazes nas séries de manifestações de rua no Brasil em 2013 e mobilizados em rede, movimentos discursivos que sinalizam relevante alteração ética e política. De um ponto de vista dialógico de linguagem, descrevem-se as manifestações como cadeia comunicativa discursiva inspirada pelo processo de carnavalização. O espaço da rua e da praça pública, a alteração momentânea da ordem social cotidiana e a tensão ideológica que pode fomentar mudanças sociais autorizam a comparação entre a natureza discursiva das manifestações e a do processo de carnavalização. A partir daí, articulam-se teoria enunciativa e conceitos da filosofia contemporânea, como metanarrativa e condição pós-moderna, para interpretar a mudança de perspectiva axiológica flagrada em cartazes das manifestações. A análise esboçada indica que, discursivamente, de uma manifestação com pauta múltipla encaminha-se um movimento ideologicamente fragmentado que permite emergirem enunciados sem sentido, sugerindo a metacarnavalização do evento.

Highlights

Among the various street demonstrations which have occasionally mobilized national and international press to focus on Brazil since the military coup in 1964, those which took place in 2013 and in 2014 show one characteristic that is worth highlighting
The aim of this article is to show discursive moves in utterances realized in posters in the series of demonstrations that took place in Brazil in 2013 and were mobilized online
The possibility of production and circulation of utterances apparently liberated from ideological finish in an intense political struggle context is problematized. Those utterances seem to be meaningless in the discursive sphere of the demonstrations

Summary

Introduction

Among the various street demonstrations which have occasionally mobilized national and international press to focus on Brazil since the military coup in 1964, those which took place in 2013 and in 2014 show one characteristic that is worth highlighting. Videos and reports that circulated in social networks and in the media managed to change the tone of the following demonstrations In this scenario, on June 17, the resulting indignation mobilized the whole country, taking an expressive number of people with various claims to the streets, starting from the capital of São Paulo and not so later on moving to various other cities in the country. It seems to be important to recognize some aspects of the utterances that actualize conflicts in the demonstrations in this new type of activism In this social scenario, the posters, which, by principle, metonymically catch the structuring discourse(s) of the events, caught the attention of people in general and of the media in particular. Utterances which signalize political engagement are contrasted with some others which do not seem to “make meaning.”
