Diz(narrando): uma análise de represent(ações) e discurso sobre a Amazônia e o Acre

Abstract

This article was written as part of the subject “Cultures, Languages and Amazonian Societies”, offered by the Postgraduate Program in Letters: Language and Identity at the Federal University of Acre (UFAC). The aim was to examine the narratives formed (from newspapers, photographs and documents) about the Amazon and Acre. It is therefore important to reflect on the role of narratives in the construction/representation of history through discourse. The theoretical-methodological aspects were bibliographical-documentary research based on the selection of newspaper clippings, photographs and documents that narrate the discursive formation of the Amazon and Acre. In this sense, the theoretical-methodological approaches of renowned authors such as Orlandi (1999), Gondim (1994), Pizarro (2012), Silva (2020), Barros (2016), Albuquerque (2016), Silva (2020), among others. Finally, the Amazon and Acre are discursively produced by an external gaze, which has consolidated a version focused on grandeur, fascination, exoticism, among other representations. For this reason, un-saying is a process of bringing to light these stories produced in the street, in bars, in cabarets, in other words, in a counter-pelletdimension. This movement of saying (narrating) is to observe other flows constructed in the field of language, although language is generally seen as a domain, it can also act as a form of resistance.
