This thesis is based on two years of participant observation in a municipal youth club in a Swedish city suburb. In focus is a group of 14-19 year old boys and their relations to peers and to the staff of the club. Rock music playing, the activity they engage in, is studied as a part of the youth club practice, and seen as a communicative process in which relations are lived out. Two approaches are identified; "to go for it" and "to have fun" both of which become important in the boys´ musical awareness, as well as their attitude to life. The youth club is seen as a place where a particular kind of democratic dilemma is grappled with. The club has the pedagogical aim of creating meaningful leisure time on the visitors tenns, but also of disciplining them and functioning as an instrument of guidance into adult life values. Questions of power-relations and institutionalization are discussed through notions of the dialectic of control (Giddens); of authority (Sennett), and of Goffman's analysis of life within public institutions. In this setting, the complexity of power and of growing up in modem society are studied. Both groups; the staff and the visitors, are seen as jointly shaping and recreating a communicative practice through interaction, with music playing as the medium through which relations are transformedand hierarchies seemingly overturned at the same time as social control is cemented and protest limited.

A pesquisa visa ainda argumentar que o uso de procedimentos metadiscursivos é presidido por uma reflexividade do fazer textual que compreende a própria escrita da obra também como uma prática comunicativa. Para a realizá-lo de nossa tarefa, propomos uma articulação teórica entre os estudos sobre a metadiscursividade, no âmbito da linguística textual brasileira - a partir de autores como Risso & Jubran (1998), Risso (1999) e Koch (2004) -, e a teoria da prática comunicativa, elaborada no domínio da linguística antropológica (HANKS, 1990; 1996; 2008). História de uma família de origem libanesa estabelecida em Manaus em princípios do século XX, o argumento narrativo do Relato... é o retorno da narradora (filha adotiva da família em questão) à capital manauara para reencontrar a matriarca da família, Emilie. A matriarca é quiçá a única portadora de memórias que a auxiliariam na compreensão do nebuloso passado dela e de seu irmão mais novo. Emilie, porém, falece no dia posterior à chegada da jovem a Manaus. A partir daí, a narradora passa a investigar em suas memórias e em memórias de terceiros - com destaque para tio Hakim - fatos e episódios obscuros da família dos quais eles participaram, sobre os quais ouviram ou, mesmo, transcreveram. Fatos e episódios que ela crê cruciais na/para a constituição de sua identidade (e de seu irmão). Compreendemos que são os recursos metadiscursivos os elementos que conferem materialidade textual-interativa à reflexividade dos sujeitos em suas práticas de produção textual de sentidos. Assim, o texto final resulta de um trabalho de escrita bastante reflexivo, sendo que esta reflexividade manifesta-se (i) por meio de predicações metadiscursivas (ii) verbos referenciadores de atividade linguageira (iii) rotulação metadiscursiva e (iv) procedimentos de elaboração do lembrar como atividade intersubjetiva, certificando que o metadiscurso não compõe um inventário fechado de formas, mas se renova na dinâmica das próprias práticas comunicativas / Abstract: This work aims at analyzing metadiscursive resources which cause, when used by both the narrator and, in a smaller scale, by Hakim, the articulation and categorization of two kinds of communicative practice within Relato de um certo oriente, by Milton Hatoum. The aforementioned communicative practices are (i) personnal letter with strong reminiscent effect and (ii) ordinary conversation. This work also aims at proposing that the use of metadiscourse resources is governed by a reflexive concern within the text that conceives of the writing of the oeuvre itself as a communicative practice. In order to achieve our goal we will articulate research on metadiscourse conducted by Brazilian Text Linguistics - in scholars such as Risso & Jubran (1998), Risso (1999) e Koch (2004) - with communicative practice theory from Linguistic Anthropology (HANKS, 1990; 1996; 2008). Story of a Lebanese family set down in Manaus in early XXth century, the motif of Relato¿ is the return of the narrator (who was adopted by the Lebanse family) to Manaus in order to meet the matriarch of the family, Emilie. The matriarch maybe is the only person who carries with her memories that could help the narrator out in understanding hers and her brother's past. However, Emilie passes away just the day after the narrator's arrival in Manaus. From this moment on, she will look for her own memories and other people's memories - especially Hakim's - facts and episodes concerning the family; facts and episodes of which her interlocutors were part, they heard about or they even took note about. We will support that it is the metadiscursive resources that are responsible for the textual and interactive materiality of individual's text production reflexivity throughout their participation in communicative practices. Hence, the text (the oeuvre) as a whole results from a very reflexive writing process, so that this reflexivity can be seen (i) at metadiscursive assertions; (ii) verbs that make reference to linguistic activity; (iii) metadiscursive labeling and (iv) the act of rememoration as an intersubjective activity. All these different manifestations of metadiscourse corroborate that metadiscourse is not a close category, but renews its forms throughout of communicative practices dynamics / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística
