Discursive Constructions on the Universe of Work in the Machado de Assis cronics: the case of the chronic October 8, from Gazeta de Notícias (Rio de Janeiro)
Abstract
Assuming that the speech, being a linguistic construction, is linked to the social context in which the text is developed thus established the relationship that man not only think about work, how to effectively work, talks about working sets labor relations and ultimately writes about work, but mainly the reflection that this construct - relationship between work and language - has in the literature. Thus, by establishing the relationship between work and language, making use mainly of Engels' theory (1986) and Bakhtin’s theory (2002 [1929]) it is that we will examine the chronicle of Machado de Assis entitled 8 de Outubro. Thus, we will analyze the discursive relations on the work established by Machado de Assis, taking into account the editorial context of the nineteenth century and its relation about the universe of work and the ideological represented in the discourse on work.
