ARGUMENTATIVE VOICES AND AUTHORIAL POSITIONING IN SCHOOL WRITTEN PRODUCTION

Abstract

In this article, we examine school written production according to a possible relationship between voices and argumentative positioning. The way voices reflect and refract the ideological positioning of the student-writer will also be investigated. Our purpose is to discuss the dialogue between discursive voices and argumentation in school writing and identify how dialogic discourse (re)produce ideologies of a certain culture. The study is based on theoretical principles from a social-discursive approach, proposed by the Bakhtin Circle, in interface with a social perspective of argumentation. Two argumentative texts were taken from a corpus composed by 50 compositions. The analysis followed a qualitative methodology in order to illustrate how discourses produced in the texts bring ideologies which create authorial positioning. Results indicate that the texts are permeated by a large number of voices which are used to build the writer´s arguments and point of view.
