As a methodological and theoretical approach, whose purpose consists in the study of the language in contemporary societies, Critical Discourse Analysis is derived from Critical Linguistics of 1970, consolidating itself in the decade of 1990s. As it borrowed the Social Theory of Discourse (TSD), developed by Norman Fairclough, CDA has defined itself theoretically and methodologically, and this explains the relevance of the British linguist to CDA. To elaborate the TSD, Fairclough resorted to important authors of the sciences of language like Halliday, Bakhtin and Foucault, and of social sciences like Bourdieu, Giddens, Thompson, Gramsci and others. We approached the four first ones in this work, and the choice of these authors is due to our interest in the Structuralist aspects of the research of Fairclough. When we refer to structuralist bias , we raise up a great number of problematics about Structuralism, which have existed since the moment the Structuralism came to be seen with certain aversion for many language theorists. One of the reasons is the fact that structuralist approaches give priority to the social structures, not admitting the capacity of action and change of the social subject, this criticism is present in Norman Fairclough s books. Another problematic is a kind of self saturation that the proper structuralism allows to be shown. But to explain this, it is necessary to use the division that Umberto Echo (2001) makes between ontological Structuralism and methodological Structuralism. The first one consists, basically, in the incessant search of deeper structures that lead the phenomena, and the second one consists in the application of homogeneous structural models in the analysis of different phenomena. Eco criticizes the first one, showing the impossibility of reassuring, in fact, the real existence of structures, but he presents the second one as a productive methodology for many kinds of researches. In Fairclough s approach, we find the two modalities of structuralism displayed by Eco. During the research we demonstrate how important Bakhtin, Foucault, Bourdieu and Halliday, had been for the constitution of the structuralist bias of Norman Fairclough, allowing the British author to operate with systems of differences in the treatment of discursive phenomena, without neglecting the dialogic bias in the study of the interaction contexts. At last, the bakhtinian dialogism, foucaultian archaeology, the constructivist structuralist sociology of Bourdieu and the functionalist linguistic of Halliday had more been excellent supports for the constitution of the structuralist bias of Norman Fairclough s discursive approach. / A presente pesquisa de tem por objetivo expor como se apresenta o viés estruturalista da abordagem discursiva de Norman Fairclough, um dos maiores expoentes da Análise de Discurso Crítica (ADC). Tida como uma abordagem teórico metodológica, cuja finalidade consiste no estudo da linguagem nas sociedades contemporâneas, a Análise de Discurso Crítica é uma vertente dos estudos do discurso derivada da Linguística Crítica de 1970, consolidando-se a partir da década de 90. Ao se apropriar da Teoria Social do Discurso (TSD) desenvolvida por Norman Fairclough, a ADC se define tanto teórico quanto metodologicamente, o que explica a relevância do linguista britânico para essa corrente de análise discursiva. Para elaborar a TSD, Fairclough recorreu a importantes autores das ciências sociais e da linguagem como Halliday, Bakhtin, Foucault, Bourdieu, Giddens, Thompson, Gramsci, entre outros. Os quatro primeiros foram abordados neste trabalho, e a escolha destes se deu justamente pelo interesse no viés estruturalista da obra de Fairclough. Quando nos referimos a viés estruturalista , terminamos por trazer à tona toda uma problemática que existe desde o momento em que o Estruturalismo passou a ser visto com certa aversão por muitos teóricos da linguagem. E uma das justificativas diz respeito ao fato de abordagens estruturalistas darem primazia às estruturas sociais, não admitindo a capacidade de ação e mudança dos sujeitos sociais, essa é uma crítica presente na obra de Norman Fairclough. Outra problemática estruturalista relevante é uma espécie de auto saturação que o próprio estruturalismo deixou surgir. Mas para explicar tal saturação, convém recorrermos a divisão que Umberto Eco (2001) faz entre estruturalismo ontológico e estruturalismo metodológico. O primeiro consiste, basicamente, na procura incessante de estruturas cada vez mais profundas que regem os fenômenos, e o segundo consiste na aplicação de modelos estruturais homogêneos na análise de diferentes fenômenos. Eco critica o primeiro alegando a impossibilidade de se assegurar, de fato, a existência real de estruturas, mas apresenta o segundo como metodologia produtiva para diversas pesquisas. Em Fairclough encontramos os dois estruturalismo expostos por Eco. Durante a pesquisa, procuramos demonstrar como Bakhtin, Foucault, Bourdieu e Halliday foram fundamentais para a constituição do viés estruturalista de Norman Fairclough, permitindo que o autor britânico operasse com sistemas de diferenças no tratamento de fenômenos discursivos, sem que ele abandonasse os aspectos dialógicos no estudo dos contextos de interação. Enfim, o dialogismo bakhtiniana, a arqueologia foucaultiana, mais a sociologia estruturalista construtivista de Bourdieu e a Linguística Sistêmico Funcional foram suportes relevantes para a constituição do viés estruturalista da abordagem discursiva de Norman Fairclough.

A dissertação tem como proposta analisar as obras A História em Migalhas e A História do Estruturalismo de François Dosse, identificando as suas principais diferenças como resultado de duas acepções epistemológicas e historiográficas. No entendimento destas obras, são levantadas questões relativas à comensurabilidade, considerada aqui como o elemento responsável por grande parte das elaborações teóricas, descritivas e conclusivas de Dosse, e ao ritmo da análise empregado pelo autor. Associadas a essas categorias, colocam-se também em evidência a variação entre as perspectivas de análise sincrônica e diacrônica. O objetivo final desse trabalho é mostrar que a principal diferença capaz de revelar o amadurecimento intelectual de Dosse durante o período que separa a escrita de ambas é a habilidade particular em lidar com a complexidade das diferentes variáveis que compõem os contextos intelectuais trabalhados pelo autor. / The aim of this study is to analyze the works A História em Migalhas and A História do Estruturalismo of Francois Dosse, identifying their main differences as a result of two epistemologic and historiographical asseptions. In their understanding, questions are raised concerning the commensurability, here considered as the element largely responsible for the theories, descriptions and conclusions of Dosse, and the rhythm of the analysis employed by the author. Associated with these categories, the variation between the perspectives of synchronic and diachronic analysis are also highlighted. The last goal of this work is to show that the main difference between these two works can reveal that the intellectual maturation of Dosse during the period between the writing of both is his particular skill in dealing with the complexity of different variables that composing the intellectual contexts used by the author.

Entre as etapas de produção desta pesquisa, massa bruta em minhas mãos, trago como recurso à problematização de algumas falas sobre a surdez e as sexualidades, a construção das identidades, o papel da escola e dos(as) professores(as) neste processo de fabricação dos sujeitos e (re)produção de discursos. Tudo isso tendo como inspiração principal os estudos pós-estruturalistas e as teorizações do filósofo Michel Foucault, que me possibilitaram, e ainda possibilitam, novos questionamentos em torno desta temática, sem o objetivo de apresentar respostas ou conclusões definitivas. A principal questão de investigação deste projeto é “Como os discursos sobre as sexualidades atravessam os discursos sobre surdez no espaço escolar e contribuem para a produção do discurso da diversidade?” Assim, partindo das análises dos discursos, agregados às falas, dos(as) professores(as) no espaço escolar, acredito poder contribuir para problematizações que já vêm sendo feitas em relação a produção dos discursos em torno da diversidade. / Using the metaphor of clay and focusing on the crossings of speeches around the deafness and sexuality and its relationship with the production of the discourse of diversity among teachers from a municipal school in Juiz de Fora, I show some stages of the process Modeling and construction of the subject throughout modernity, producing my theoretical and methodological framework that will guide my analysis and look around those speeches. Among the production stages of this research, also gross weight in my hands, I bring as a resort to questioning in a few lines about deafness and sexualities, the construction of identities, the role of school and teachers in this process manufacturing of the subjects and (re)production of discourses. All of this taking as inspiration the main post-structuralist and the theories of philosopher Michel Foucault, which enabled me, and still allows, new questions on this theme, with no intention of presenting definitive answers or conclusions. The main research question of this project is "How the discourse about sexuality across the discourses on deafness in school and contribute to the production of the discourse of diversity?" Thus, based on the analysis of discourses, aggregated to the speeches, of teachers in school, I can contribute to problematizations already being made in relation to production of the speeches about diversity.

In the same field of political theory, another "school" theoretical search space and gaining recognition in academic space: postanarchism. This dissertation aims to analyze and compare poststructuralism and post-anarchism seeks to identify and point out elements that connect both. To achieve this goal, this paper uses discursive corpus as the works of Ernesto Laclau, Jacques Rancière, Saul Newman and Lewis Call to analyze the meanings given by these authors for categories such as freedom, equality, and subject, as well as identify the influences of each building one of these directions / O Pós-estruturalismo tem ocupado um lugar de destaque entre as teorias políticas que pretendem analisar e explicar as relações políticas do mundo pós-moderno, não somente pela riqueza de seus conceitos como também pela profundidade de suas análises. No mesmo campo da teoria política, uma outra escola teórica busca ganhar espaço e reconhecimento no espaço acadêmico: o pós-anarquismo.

Post-structuralist IR has often treated foreign policy/security discourses and their effects on policy through a “representational model”, i.e. how one dominant representation makes possible particular policy outcomes. However, in a longitudinal analysis, where the concern with “outcome” is already about continuity/change, this model is restricting and must be replaced by a model integrating multiple voices and contestations, and looking for non-linear mechanisms of long-term constraints. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is, first, to develop a theoretical-analytical framework suitable for an explicit interest in contestations and tracing constraints; and second, in an illustrative-explorative study, to apply such relational-dialogical framework to “war on terror” in the US and the UK (2001-2012). Bakhtinian Dialogism occupies an important status in the framework; therefore, a broader aim is to demonstrate how a “dialogical turn” inspired by the philosophy of Mikhail Bakhtin and his circle would enrich debate. Developments of the past decade – increased anti-war critique, change of governments in the US and the UK, and protracted withdrawal – provide new grounds for a longitudinal inquiry into “war on terror”. Moving beyond the question how “war on terror” was initially constructed and legitimised, scholarly attention must focus on a longitudinal inquiry into why “war on terror” endured. In this respect, the formidable deconstructions of official discourses by anti-war critique have received marginal attention in IR. The empirical part explores how critical discourses have contested the official narratives; how the latter have engaged with them as well as with moderate deliberative critique, and to what effect for continuity/change, to understand whether and how successive governments in the US and the UK have been discursively constrained (bound) in their attempts to change policy. Without claiming to be a comprehensive explanation, it locates and interprets patterns and logics within the discursive exchanges, delineating potential routes contributing to constraints and hence continuation. Thus, on the one hand, destabilising critique was shattering the foundations of the official “war on terror” narratives without fully re-inscribing the dislocated space with new imaginings, thus inviting official representatives to re-claim such space. On the other hand, deliberative voices were pushing for the realisation of the promises inherent in the official discourse, demanding “winning” the (albeit “mistaken”) war, thus inviting for continued engagement.

How can you as a planner tackle messy realities without losing sight of possible problematic outcomes of what you put in practice? This study explores the value of everyday frictions as a resource for phronetic planning, i.e. the ability to make situated ethical judements of what is ’better’ or ’worse’ in a particular setting. The intent is to offer a situated gaze of frictions from the perspective of a civil servant of the well organised and innovative municipality of Botkyrka in the metropolitan area of Stockholm, Sweden. From this outset, an autoethnographical methodology from a poststructural approach, is used to explore the frictions that the author has experienced as a practicing planner. The study shows that frictions can be used as 'weak signals' to identify possible tricky consequences of the creation and the staging of planning 'simplifications'. Based on this insight a 'seismological' approach to planning is proposed. The argument is that planning practice should on the one hand utilize frictions when they arise and, on the other hand, actively challenge existing 'simplifications'. To achieve this, practical tools are offered to 'evoke', 'narrate' and 'diffract' on frictions and 'trickster-objects' within the constraints of the planner’s role as a municipal civil servant. / Denna avhandlings syfte är att utforska skavningars möjliga värde som resurs för praktisk klokhet inom svensk kommunal planeringspraktik. Med praktisk klokhet avses förmågan att göra situerade etiska bedömningar om 'bättre' och 'sämre' på ett reflexivt sätt i ett visst sammanhang. Studiens teoretiska ram utgörs av poststrukturell subjektteori och arbetet bygger på en metodologisk ansats grundad i autoetnografi. Avsikten är att erbjuda en situerad ’inifrån blick’ om vardagliga skavningar i planering i en svensk kommunal förvaltningskontext baserat på författarens egen yrkespraktik från en kommun. I analysen framkommer att skavningar ofta kan uppstå när planeraren ikläder sig i grunden motsatta sätt att uppträda som planerare; i studien identifierat som en central, entreprenöriell och kommunikativ persona. Det som då sker är att olika idéer om ‘hur saker funkar’, olika typer av praktiska tekniker för att uppnå uppsatta mål och olika etiska ramverk om vad som är 'rätt' införlivas och 'krockar' inom planeraren. En slutsats är att skavningar kan ses som ’svaga signaler’ för att förnimma eventuella problematiska konsekvenser av de 'förenklingar’ som av nödvändighet görs inom planeringspraktik. En medvetenhet om sådana signaler kan bidra till en beredskap om existerande konfliktytor som den kommunala organisationen kan adressera i sin planering och verksamhetsutveckling. Den typ av planerarroll som har bäst förutsättningar att inrymma skavningar är en central persona, men för att den möjligheten ska realiseras krävs att skavningar uppvärderas som en av flera komponenter för att stärka planerarens bedömningsförmåga. I ljuset av studiens lärdomar tecknas ett utkast till vad som benämns en ’seismologisk’ ansats till planering. Argumentet som förs fram är att planeringspraktik å ena sidan bör tillvarata skavningar när de väl uppstår, och å andra sidan aktivt utmana existerande 'förenklingar’. För att uppnå detta föreslås exempel på praktiska verktyg som planeraren och organisationen kan använda för att 'framkalla', '(åter)berätta' och 'diffraktera' kring skavningar inom gränserna för planerarens ansvar. / <p>QC 20171017</p>

Depuis la publication des Œuvres de Fernand Deligny en 2007, nous assistons à une redécouverte de cet auteur et de son œuvre. Pendant plus de cinquante ans, Deligny a travaillé avec à des enfants et des jeunes en marge, considérés par les milieux médicaux, sociaux et juridiques comme « inadaptés ». L'objectif de cette thèse est de reconstituer les différentes expériences pratiques développées par Deligny et de systématiser sa pensée. Cette tâche est devenue possible grâce à une vision globale de son œuvre et au travail d’organisation de ses archives que nous avons entrepris au cours de cette recherche. Nous proposons ainsi d’exposer comment la pensée de Deligny s’est précisée au fil des décennies et notamment à partir de sa rencontre avec des enfants autistes mutiques. À partir de 1967, Deligny et d’autres personnes s’installent dans les Cévennes afin de créer un réseau de lieux de prise en charge d’enfants autistes. Sans qu'ils aient à proprement parler une visée thérapeutique et rééducative, ils développent toutefois une série de dispositifs d’ordre à la fois clinique, esthétique et anthropologique. Nous proposons d’analyser en détail ces différents dispositifs – l’écriture, la cartographie et le tournage de films – afin de comprendre la pratique quotidienne développée pour vivre avec les enfants autistes. Nous proposons ensuite de voir comment ces pratiques n'ont cessé d'être habitées par une recherche, à partir de laquelle Deligny a pu construire une réflexion philosophique très particulière. Cette réflexion, fondée sur le concept d’« humain » et sur une critique radicale de toute forme d’humanisme, est à la fois tout à fait singulière et profondément inscrite dans les débats de son temps – notamment dans les champs de l’anthropologie, de la psychanalyse et de la philosophie française contemporaine. / Since Fernand Deligny’s Works were published in 2007, a rediscovery of this author and his work is taking place. During more than fifty years Deligny worked with children and young people living in the fringes of the society, individuals considered socially maladjusted by the medical, social and juridical institutions. This dissertation aims to reconstitute Deligny’s multiple practical experiences and to systematize his thinking. This task is possible on the basis of a global vision of his work and of the extensive archival work done during this research. We propose to expose how Deligny’s thinking became more precise in the course of these decades and especially after his encounter with mute autistic children. After 1967, Deligny and others settled in Cevennes where they created a network of living places for these children. Without aiming to establish a therapeutic or rehabilitative milieu, they developed an apparatus having a clinical, aesthetic and anthropologic dimension. We propose a detailed analysis of this apparatus, which includes the writing, the cartography and the shooting of films, in order to grasp the approach chosen by Deligny to live with these children. Furthermore, we propose to see how research was continually undertaken within these practices. Thus Deligny was capable of building a very particular philosophical thinking. This thinking, based on the concept of the “human” and a radical critique of every form of humanism, is at the same time very singular and very connected to a large contemporary debate in the anthropologic, psychoanalytic and French philosophic fields.

Paradoxale et anachronique, l’idée d’un « conceptualisme romantique » apparaît dès 1977 dans un article que Boris Groys consacre aux artistes moscovites imprégnés d’idéalisme russe. Réexaminée, dans les années 2000, par Jörg Heiser et Jan Verwoert, l’hypothèse critique est ensuite élargie à la scène conceptuelle internationale, où subsisteraient certains traits du premier romantisme allemand, comme l’écriture collective, la forme fragmentaire ou l’esprit du Witz. Contre la biographie, la subjectivité et l’expression, l’art conceptuel affiche pourtant, à la fin des années 1960, un anti-romantisme virulent. Défendant une pratique « émotionnellement neutre » où l’idée serait devenue « une machine à faire l’art », le mouvement se fait l’écho de l’antihumanisme des structuralistes et de leur mise à mort de l’auteur. Un existentialisme contrarié persiste pourtant chez certains artistes, continuant d’explorer les concepts de l’identité et de l’intersubjectivité, à l’ère des systèmes capitalistes et des réseaux cybernétiques. C’est à force d’explorations linguistiques que le sujet conceptuel se romantise, redécouvrant, par le biais des incohérences de la logique formelle, du mysticisme des pensées combinatoires et de l’ambiguïté de l’ironie, les bénéfices d’un « langage non gouverné ». / Paradoxical and anachronistic, the idea of a “romantic conceptualism” first appeared in 1977 in an article by Boris Groys dedicated to Muscovite artists imbued with Russian Idealism. Reexamined in the 2000s by Jörg Heiser and Jan Verwoert, the critical hypothesis was extended to take in the international Conceptual scene, where certain elements of the original German romanticism survived, such as collective writing, the fragmentary form or the Witz spirit. Against biography, subjectivity and expression, at the end of the 1960s Conceptual Art still showed itself to be virulently anti-Romantic. Defending an “emotionally dry” practice in which the idea would become “a machine that makes the art”, the movement echoed the Structuralists’ anti-Humanism as well as their putting to death of the author. Yet a frustrated existentialism persisted among certain artists who continued exploring the concepts of identity and intersubjectivity, in an epoch of capitalist systems and cybernetic networks. It is through linguistic explorations that the conceptual subject romanticises itself, rediscovering, through incoherencies in formal logic, the mysticism of combinational thoughts and from the ambiguity of irony, the benefits of a “non-governed language”.

[pt] Como lidar com a tradução de um texto cujo conteúdo conflita com as convicções ideológicas do tradutor? Esta dissertação parte do fenômeno da tradução feminista que despontou no Canadá na segunda metade do século passado para discutir em que medida a intervenção ideológica deliberada no texto traduzido é aceitável eticamente, e até que ponto essa intervenção pode realmente ser eficaz na busca dos objetivos do profissional que a realiza. Para isso, é traçado um breve percurso histórico da evolução das teorias relativistas, que encontra no pósestruturalismo uma das suas mais recentes manifestações. Busca-se analisar em que contexto o movimento de tradução feminista pôde prosperar, e entender a forma como ele influenciou o modo de se pensar e de se praticar a tradução no Canada e em outros países. No último capítulo, toma-se como base o trabalho de alguns dos principais teóricos que trabalharam com o tema da ética no campo dos Estudos da Tradução para discutir os diferentes fatores que tornariam aceitável (e desejável) ou não a intervenção ideológica deliberada. / [en] How should one deal with the translation of a text whose content conflicts with their ideological convictions? This dissertation stems from the phenomenon of feminist translation that emerged in Canada in the second half of the last century to discuss the extent to which deliberate ideological intervention in the translated text is ethically acceptable and to what extent this intervention can actually be effective in pursuing the objectives of the translator. For this end, a brief history of the evolution of relativist theories is presented, post-structuralism being one of its most recent manifestations. The research aims at analyzing the context in which the feminist translation movement could thrive, and understanding how it influenced the way translation is theorized and practiced in Canada and in other countries. In the last chapter, the work of some of the leading theoreticians who worked on the topic of ethics in the field of Translation Studies is taken as a basis to discuss the different factors that make deliberate ideological intervention acceptable (and desirable) or not.

Composée de cinq parties, notre étude commence par s’intéresser à la transcription du « retour de la violence » en Algérie dans les littératures orale et écrite qui refusent toute forme de nihilisme. Ce refus amène le poète-chanteur kabyle Lounis Aït Menguellet et l’écrivain francophone Tahar Djaout à ouvrir leur espace à l’altérité. C’est là que commencent les ruptures spatiales dans le texte poétique, qui alors éclate en plusieurs espaces insulaires. Mais la souffrance et l’angoisse de la mort sont partout et marquent de leur présence l’espace textuel, par exemple en bouleversant l’organisation rimique. Le lecteur-auditeur se retrouve de nouveau dans un espace-temps fermé sur le Même. En effet, et à cause du manque des récits historiques en Algérie, les deux auteurs sont condamnés à inventer leur propre langage sacré et à léguer au groupe social des vestiges verbaux. Ces vestiges devraient aussi leur garantir l’immortalité du Nom. Notre dernière partie porte sur la position du poète dans une histoire de violence, son engagement littéraire et la continuité de cet engagement hors-texte. / Composed of five parts, my outline starts with the algerian “historical return of violence” issue, as transcribed in both oral and written literatures, which rejects any nihilist position. Such a radical stance brings therefore the kabyle singer and poet Lounis Aït Menguellet as well the francophone novelist Tahar Djaout to open their inner space to otherness. From then on, the literary text can be defined as many island-shaped poetic space breaks. However, pain and fear of death remain, disrupting structures and rhymes organization within the text, so that space and time are closed. The decline of historical narrative in Algeria does actually lead the authors to forge their own verbal vestiges and sacred language; what should ensure the remaining/lasting of the Name. The last part of this work sheds light on the poet’s position towards a violent history, his presence as a protagonist within his texts, and his involvement in and out the literary field.
