Resumo: In this paper, I analyze the utterance ‘Free Lula’, the most popular slogan among Brazilian leftists since former president Lula was convicted and imprisoned. Articulating Austin’s philosophy of language to Timothy Snyder’s remarks on contemporary politics, I argue that ‘Free Lula’, unlike regular performatives utterances, does not project itself towards the future as an act potentially capable of changing the circumstances in which it is issued. Instead, it inscribes itself in a circular conception of time, within which life is experienced asa permanent defense of one’s own innocence against cyclical attacks allegedly perpetrated by an external enemy.

Articulando a filosofia austiniana da linguagem às considerações do historiador americano Timothy Snyder a respeito da política contemporânea, procuro mostrar que ‘Lula Livre’, à diferença dos performativos em geral, não se projeta em direção ao futuro como um enunciado potencialmente capaz de modificar as circunstâncias em que é produzido. Em lugar disso, inscreve-se em uma concepção circular de tempo, no interior da qual a vida é experimentada como defesa permanente da própria inocência ante investidas cíclica e indefinidamente perpetradas por um suposto inimigo externoANPOLL2019-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/127710.18309/anp.v1i48.1277Revista da Anpoll; Vol. 1 No. 48 (2019): Estudos Linguísticos; 124-135Revista da Anpoll; v. 1 n. 48 (2019): Estudos Linguísticos; 124-1351982-78301414-7564reponame:Revista da ANPOLL (Online)instname:Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)instacron:ANPOLLporhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/1277/1029Copyright (c) 2019 Fábio Lopes da Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLopes da Silva, Fábio2020-04-09T00:29:19Zoai:ojs.revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br:article/1277Revistahttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/indexONGhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/oairevistadaanpoll@gmail.com1982-78301414-7564opendoar:2023-01-13T09:48:48.146772Revista da ANPOLL (Online) - Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)false
