Resumo: | The essay genre is a discursive modality with malleable shape which can circulate in different spheres of human communication. In the literary field, the essay blends concepts and opinions, figures and metaphor, critique and analyses. It is characterized as a discursive reflection, nurtured by a process of artistic subjectivation whose product results in a profound contemplation of a theme and/or the analysis of a piece of work, period, or style. Despite being recognized as an argumentative genre, there are few large and detailed studies about the essay’s characteristics. In that sense, this work aims at presenting a categorization for the genre based on the Bakhtinian perspective of discourse genres, since it observes linguistic-enunciative marks, production conditions, thematic content and compositional construction. The compilation of corpus for analysis is derived, methodologically, from the following steps: i) investigation of texts-statements/works entitled as essays and/or that approached the term essay; ii) diagnosis and appreciation of that material; iii) selection and estudies of representative texts of the genre; iv) organization of the essay characteristics in the literary sphere. In this perspective, the genealogy of the essay is discussed together with a presentation of an organization of the regularities and instabilities of the genre based on the texts-statements analysed. |

No domínio literário, o ensaio combina conceitos e juízos, figuras e metáforas, críticas e análises. Trata-se de uma reflexão discursiva, cultivada por um processo de subjetivação artística cujo produto resulta em profunda contemplação de um tema e/ou análise de uma obra, período, estilo. Não obstante seja reconhecido como gênero argumentativo, ao ensaio como produção literária não se destinam maiores e mais detalhados estudos quanto às suas características. Dessa forma, a presente abordagem, propõe-se a apresentar uma categorização para o gênero, ancorada na perspectiva baktiniana de gêneros discursivos, ao observar as marcas linguístico-enunciativas, condições de produção, conteúdo temático e construção composicional. Para empreender a compilação de corpus para análise, deriva-se, metodologicamente, das seguintes etapas: i) investigação de textos-enunciados/obras que se intitulassem ensaio (s) e/ou abordassem o enunciado ensaio; ii) diagnóstico e apreciação do material; iii) seleção e estudo de textos representativos do gênero; iv) organização das características do ensaio na esfera literária. Nessa perspectiva, discorre-se sobre a genealogia do ensaio e apresenta-se uma organização para as regularidades e instabilidades do gênero a partir dos textos-enunciados analisados.UEL2018-03-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/signum/article/view/2976210.5433/2237-4876.2018v21n3p288Signum: Estudos da Linguagem; Vol. 21 No. 3 (2018): Volume Atemático; 288-307Signum: Estudos da Linguagem; v. 21 n. 3 (2018): Volume Atemático; 288-3072237-4876reponame:Signum: Estudos da Linguageminstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporenghttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/signum/article/view/29762/25057https://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/signum/article/view/29762/25058Copyright (c) 2019 Signum: Estudos da Linguagemhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerragini, Neluana Leuz de Oliveira2022-11-16T18:14:29Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/29762Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/signumPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/signum/oai||signum@uel.br2237-48761516-3083opendoar:2022-11-16T18:14:29Signum: Estudos da Linguagem - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false |
