Abstract
This paper aims to present a proposal of literacy practice, which reflects current and relevant topics such as truth (FOUCAULT, 2014) and the fake news (FONTANA, 2021), from the perspective of discourse ethics (SOUTO MAIOR, 2020). In this proposal, we articulate the reflection on those topics together with the production of a review – a textual genre widely used in the academic sphere. We situate our proposal in the perspective of Applied Linguistics (AL), by focusing on the issue of language as a social practice, which reflects constitutive aspects of society and culture that is crossed by discursive practices built from ideological threads (FABRÍCIO, 2006) and, for this reason, are present in literacy practices. In this proposal we have used the movie called "The invention of lying" (2009), because we could realize this movie as a useful resource that allow subjects to reflect about different aspects which they face in their social context and is related to writing and reading process in the world (LIMA; SOUTO MAIOR, 2020)
Highlights
Several factors justify literacy practices, especially "in different historical and social contexts; their functions and their consequences for specific groups or individuals" (STREET, 2014, p. 7)
Situated in the field of Applied Linguistics (AL) (MOITA LOPES, 2006; FABRÍCIO, 2006), this study aims to present a proposal of literacy practice based on the movie "The Invention of Lying", in order to promote a reflection on truth (FOUCAULT, 2014) and fake news (FONTANA, 2021) from the perspective of discourse ethics (SOUTO MAIOR, 2020). culminating in the production of a genre widely used in the university, the review
We took an approach from the qualitative research perspective (LÜDKE; ANDRÉ, 1986) in an interpretivist way (MOITA LOPES, 1996), which gave us the basis for the presentation of what we propose here, considering that to conduct a research, "it is necessary to promote the confrontation amongst the data, the evidence, the information collected on a particular subject and the accumulated theoretical knowledge about it" (LÜDKE; ANDRÉ, 1986, p. 1)
Summary
Several factors justify literacy practices, especially "in different historical and social contexts; their functions and their consequences for specific groups or individuals" (STREET, 2014, p. 7). Situated in the field of Applied Linguistics (AL) (MOITA LOPES, 2006; FABRÍCIO, 2006), this study aims to present a proposal of literacy practice based on the movie "The Invention of Lying", in order to promote a reflection on truth (FOUCAULT, 2014) and fake news (FONTANA, 2021) from the perspective of discourse ethics (SOUTO MAIOR, 2020). We used theoretical assumptions of Bakhtin and his Circle (1986), Maingueneau's notion of discourse (2004), liquid modernity (BAUMAN, 2001), postmodernity (HALL, 2006) and literacy (BUZATO, 2007; KLEIMAN; DE GRANDE, 2015, SANTOS; PAZ, 2014; ROJO, 2008; STREET, 2014), since those are important concepts to reflect and subsidize issues related to the process of acting of the subject in their respective social interactions. The article is divided into four parts: in the first part, we reflect on the practices of lit eracy in language teaching; in the second part, we present a discussion on how the phenomenon of fake news in contemporary times goes against the ethical dimension of discourse; in the third part, we show how, in the film, the construction of the meanings of lying occurs in relation to the phenomenon of fake news; in the last part, we present a didactic sequence as a proposal of literacy practice
