Processes of identity constitution of terena indigenous in social networks

Abstract

Diaspora lived by the Terena people and their subsequent gather affected the way of life and they underwent great changes in the ecological and social landscape of this indigenous people, which from then on, was forced to look for new strategies of survival in a process Territorialisation and the search for selfassertion in the occupied territories. Due to this process, there is a current discourse of stigmatization of the Terena people who assert that they have abandoned their roots, acculturated and become "urban Indians." In this context of stigmatization and institutionalization of various meanings on the Indian subject, we propose to problematize the imaginary representations of these subjects on themselves, through publications of postings on Facebook carried out by indigenous teachers of this ethnic group. Our theoretical reference is the French Discourse Analysis through the concepts of memory, interdiscourse and discursive formations proposed by Pecheux (2009), the formulation of the concept of discursive formations by Foucault (1986) and the problematization of notions such as Identity and identity processes carried out by Hall (1997) and Coracini (2003), , as well as the territorial and territorial conceptions proposed by Haesbart (2004). The initial results point to identities built from the territorial relations that stage the operation of different subject positions, constituted in two discursive formations that are related to each other by opposition.
