Uma Análise discursiva da obra Não tenho culpa que a vida seja como ela é,de Nelson Rodrigues

Abstract

To discuss the speech of Nelson Rodrigues, the main theoretical reference of this research will be Dominique Maingueneau. In the work O discurso pornográfico (2010), Maingueneau works some “pornographic text, relating it to genre whose conditions of emergence and whose operation can be clearly analyzed”. In the Preface, the author makes a connection between sexuality, eroticism and pornography, stating that the use of the adjective “pornographic” is enough to “disqualify everything to which he is associated” (2010, p.7-9). Thus, the research problem we want to address in this thesis has to do with the following observation: in what aspects Nelson Rodrigues can be considered a pornographic author? Therefore, as will be the reading of the text Não tenho culpa que a vida seja como ela é (2009), Nelson Rodrigues, author doubly qualified as “Angel” and “Pornographic” in the book O Anjo Pornográfico: a vida de Nelson Rodrigues (1992) by Ruy Castro. The main aim of the research is to read the Nelson Rodrigues’ chronicles-short-stories discursively, in the book chosen for analysis, discuss the adjective “pornographic” attributed to this author. Methodologically, two procedures will be adopted: first, since it will be reading the book of Ruy Castro to try to understand what it does, according to Castro, an author Nelson Rodrigues pornographic. In other words, that viewpoint Castro qualifies it as “pornographic”. Second, far will an analysis of the book by Nelson Rodrigues in light of Dominique Maingueneau. The hypothesis that will defend is that Rodrigues is closer to obscene literature, as discourse, than the porn. The clipping has been done, when choosing only a work of Nelson Rodrigues for analysis is not sufficient to arrive at comprehensive conclusions on the subject. However, it is important to at least cast doubt on the adjective “pornographic” (and even “Angel”) attributed to Nelson Rodrigues. It is hoped, therefore, that the result of the research, to be recorded in the form of dissertation, motivates further research, analyzing texts Rodrigues and others contributing to the formation of knowledge from the work of this renowned Brazilian writer.
