O SUJEITO MULHER MORADORA DE RUA: vidas em (dis)curso

Abstract

The writing of this dissertation proposes to give voice to two women living on the streets with the understanding that the scenes of discourse that involve them are representative of a larger picture. And so we seek to proceed, taking as theoretical and methodological reference the French Discourse Analysis founded by Michel Pêcheux, in the 60s, and developed in Brazil from the studies of Orlandi and other researchers who are aligned to the theory. The corpus of the research is formed by semi-structured interviews with two women who live on the streets of the city of Toledo-PR. Thus, our main objective was to provide opportunities for the words of these subjects to be the protagonists of the social, historical, and political reality of ignorance that plagues them. In this study, we aimed to bring out the discursive formations that guide the interviewees' speech in consideration of the thematic clippings that deal with the identification of oneself as a citizen, the memories of belonging to the street and the recognition of oneself as a woman, the issue of the other and the self, the (re)production of discourses of faith and happiness, as well as the meanings about today and tomorrow. No matter how idealistic the reality we face may be, for those who are in exclusion, belonging to the dominant ideology that runs through the discourses is to resist. Estela's and Cleuza's statements go against the preconstruction and the stereotype about women living on the streets of this ideology, which places them at the margin, as less of a subject, as less of a woman, less human. By meeting the meanings that circulate in society about the issues addressed, the conclusions of this study allow us to affirm, through the voice of the women interviewed that they say, without saying: "We are like you".
