Resumo: | This article aims at discussing the role linguistic studies play in literary studies based on the theoretical framework of the Circle (Bakhtin, Voloshinov, and Medvedev) and the implications in undergraduate English Language Teacher Education Programs of adopting the conception of (literary) language propounded by the Russian authors. Methodologically, away from theoretical extremes, viz., formalism and social determinism, not only does it present the proposal for literary analysis suggested by the Circle, by means of which the linguistic material of the work strives for social significance, but, based on this understanding, it also points to some structural elements of the poem El sonavabitche by Gloria Anzaldúa. This poem, selected as a representative of the Chicano Literature, a segment of contemporary American Literature, brings the experience of illegal Mexican workers in the United States close to that of slaves in that country (social significance). These elements referred especially to the crossing of the workers, their “animalization,” and the “hunt” of fugitives. Based on this theoretical-analytical work, we perceived that the study of literature written in English in undergraduate English Language Teacher Education Programs in the confluence between language and literature mobilizes a huge amount of material by teachers and students and that the dialogue between these areas is fundamental to the analysis/understanding of literary works in their original texts, which even allows the knowledge of the language as a system to be enriched.Keywords: the (Bakhtin) Circle, language and literature in the classroom, El Sonavabitche, Language Teacher Education programs. |

Dialogue between Language and Literature: A dialogical analysis of Gloria Anzaldúa’s El Sonavabitche and its implicationsLíngua e Literatura em diálogo: uma análise dialógica de El Sonavabitche de Gloria Anzaldúa e suas implicaçõesThis article aims at discussing the role linguistic studies play in literary studies based on the theoretical framework of the Circle (Bakhtin, Voloshinov, and Medvedev) and the implications in undergraduate English Language Teacher Education Programs of adopting the conception of (literary) language propounded by the Russian authors.

Metodologicamente, fugindo aos extremos formalismo e sociodeterminismo, não só apresenta a proposta de análise literária do Círculo em que a materialidade linguística busca a sua significação social, como, a partir desse entendimento, aponta alguns elementos estruturais do poema El sonavabitche de Gloria Anzaldúa. Esse poema, selecionado como representativo da literatura Chicana, segmento da literatura estadunidense contemporânea, aproxima a experiência de trabalhadores mexicanos ilegais nos Estados Unidos à instituição da escravidão nesse país (significação social). Esses elementos referiram-se, em especial, à travessia dos trabalhadores, à sua animalização e à “caçada” pelos fugitivos. Com base neste trabalho teórico-analítico, percebeu-se que o estudo da literatura de língua inglesa no curso de Letras-Inglês nessa confluência entre língua e literatura mobiliza imenso material por parte de professores e alunos e que esse diálogo entre essas áreas é primordial para a análise/ compreensão de obras literárias em seus textos originais, o que permite, inclusive, o enriquecimento do conhecimento da língua enquanto sistema.Palavras-chave: Círculo (de Bakhtin), língua e literatura em sala de aula, El Sonavabitche, Curso de Letras.Unisinos2016-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2016.141.13Calidoscópio; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2016): January/April; 145-158Calidoscópio; v. 14 n. 1 (2016): Janeiro/Abril; 145-1582177-6202reponame:Calidoscópio (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2016.141.13/5206Bandeira de Melo Junior, Orison Mardeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-04-28T19:18:54Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/10450Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopioPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/oaicmira@unisinos.br || cmira@unisinos.br2177-62022177-6202opendoar:2016-04-28T19:18:54Calidoscópio (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false |
