Resumo: | This paper focuses on some of the linguistic devices, which contribute to identity construction. Adopting a socio-discursive interactionist approach, the goal is to discover the extent to which polyphony (Bakhtin, 1981) and, more specifically, the distribution of voices by means of personal pronouns in discourse contribute to comedian’s identity construction in the understudied genre of Portuguese stand-up comedy. In a Franco-Swiss perspective (Bronckart, 2012), the term “enunciative voices” stands for mechanisms that contribute to the establishment of pragmatic (or interactive) coherence of the text. This paper demonstrates how a comedian creates different identities in discourse by shifting between the voices of empirical author, social voices, and voices of characters. In particular, the textual analysis shows how pronoun shifts (e.g. between I and we) are used as a strategy not only to produce a humorous effect; it is also used to dynamically display aspects of the comedian’s identity. Comedians may distance and erase their individual identities by identifying with the social voice. Or, by assuming responsibility, they aim at emphasizing their own individual identity as opposed to the social voice, often mocking social principles and orders. The seldom investigated domain of Portuguese stand-up comedy provides a rich ground for the analysis of the comedian’s self and the way it is portrayed in discourse. |

Privilegiando uma abordagem interacionista sócio-discursiva, o objetivo é descobrir até que ponto a polifonia (Bakhtin, 1981) e, mais especificamente, a distribuição de vozes através dos pronomes pessoais no discurso contribuem para a construção de identidade do comediante no género ainda pouco explorado stand-up comedy em português. Numa perspetiva franco-suíça (Bronckart, 2012), o termo “vozes enunciativas” remete para os mecanismos que contribuem para o estabelecimento de coerência pragmática (ou interativa) do texto. Este artigo demonstra como um comediante cria diferentes identidades no discurso, alternando entre as vozes do autor empírico, as vozes sociais e as vozes das personagens. Em particular, a análise textual demonstra a forma como as alterações de pronomes pessoais (nomeadamente, eu e nós) são utilizadas como estratégia não apenas para produzir um efeito humorístico mas também para exibir dinamicamente aspetos da identidade do comediante. Os comediantes podem “apagar” ou distanciar-se de suas identidades individuais, identificando-se com a voz social. Assumindo a responsabilidade, eles visam enfatizar sua própria identidade individual em oposição à voz social, zombando frequentemente de princípios e ordens sociais. O domínio raramente investigado de stand-up comedy fornece dados originais para a análise da identidade do comediante e da maneira como ele é retratado no discurso.Redis: Revista de Estudos do Discurso2021-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.21747/21833958/red10a7https://doi.org/10.21747/21833958/red10a7Redis: Revista de Estudos do Discurso; N.º 10 (2021): REDIS: Revista de Estudos do Discurso; 180-2142183-395810.21747/21833958/red10reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/re/article/view/10940https://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/re/article/view/10940/10014Direitos de Autor (c) 2021 Redis: Revista de Estudos do discursoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMorozova, Milana A.2023-12-29T11:15:24Zoai:ojs.letras.up.pt/ojs:article/10940Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:29:35.907475Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
