Resumo: | The aim of this article is to critically discuss the role played by discourses and practices of language diversity in the framework of the ‘reason of the state’. This article investigates the way the ‘will to know’ about language diversity has worked in Brazil, from its colonial period until nowadays, related to the colonial device and the state government. In order to do so, we first present Michel Foucault’s conceptions of reason of state and of the birth of the modern states in Europe in relation to the religious and scientific domains. Then, a panoramic analysis of the discourses and practices of language diversity in the Brazilian context since the 16th century is offered. We argue that the interest in linguistic diversity and its promotion does not mean that discursive diversity is also being promoted, since the existence of language diversity does not imply, necessarily, the existence and protection of a variety of cultures, ways of being, thinking and acting in the world.Key words: language diversity, reason, government, discourse. |

In order to do so, we first present Michel Foucault’s conceptions of reason of state and of the birth of the modern states in Europe in relation to the religious and scientific domains.

Trata-se de averiguar a maneira pela qual, no Brasil, se tem, desde o período colonial até os dias atuais, uma ‘vontade de saber’ sobre a diversidade linguística operando no interior do dispositivo colonial e do governo estatal. Para tanto, discorre-se sobre o nascimento dos estados modernos a partir de sua racionalização na Europa e a relação desses estados com os domínios religiosos e científicos. Procede-se a uma análise panorâmica das práticas e dos discursos sobre a diversidade linguística em contexto brasileiro entre os séculos XVI e XXI. Argumenta-se, por fim, que a defesa da diversidade linguística não implica, necessariamente, a promoção da diversidade discursiva, ou seja, da diversificação de culturas, de formas de ser, de pensar e de agir no mundo.Palavras-chave: diversidade linguística, racionalidade, governo, discurso.Unisinos2013-08-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2013.112.01Calidoscópio; Vol. 11 No. 2 (2013): May/August; 107-115Calidoscópio; v. 11 n. 2 (2013): Maio/Agosto; 107-1152177-6202reponame:Calidoscópio (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2013.112.01/1919Severo, Cristine Gorskiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-08-30T23:14:36Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/2640Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopioPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/oaicmira@unisinos.br || cmira@unisinos.br2177-62022177-6202opendoar:2013-08-30T23:14:36Calidoscópio (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false |
