To build a transformative school, capable of promoting the insertion of its students within social literacy practices, according to Liberali et. al. (2006, p. 170), a joint action between university, school and community is required. In this context of action, the teacher is a central subject, despite the historical disempowerment that challenges them and turns them into a victim of their profession. Assuming that the profession is an important part in the definition of any individual identity, the objective of this study is to examine, through the lens of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of Norman Fairclough (1989, 1992, 2003), the discourses that teachers participating in a collaborative intervention (MAGALHÃES, 1996; LIBERALI, 1999, for example) produce about themselves in order to identify how their identity practices are constituted. From a perspective of discourse as a social construct, through which participants build their social reality and themselves by discourse, the construction of identity is seen as a constant process and, thus, dependent on discursive realizations in particular circumstances: the meanings participants give themselves and others engaged in discourse. In this sense, identity is never complete, full, but it is always in process through discourse (MOITA LOPES, 2002, p. 34). To achieve the aim of this study, we provided a collaborative space for reflection between the The Lab for Research and Teaching of Reading and Writing (Labler/Federal University of Santa Maria) and a state high school, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The investigated universe of analysis is the faculty segment of this public school. In this universe, the corpus for this study was generated through reflective sessions, provided by the practice of collaborative intervention and composed of discourses of eight teachers of different disciplines. For the analysis, the linguistic data of the participants was segmented into analyzable units associated with the Appraisal Theory (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005) and interpreted discursively using a theoretical framework centered on ACD. The analysis of the discourses of these participants provided textual evidence that their career path, the current work in the school, the teaching profession in their view and in the society s view construct their identities. However, the practice of collaborative intervention proposed caused significant positive effects, generating shifts in the professional identity of these teachers, such as a discourse of resistance to victimization within the teaching profession.
