A pesquisa propôs a Tese de que o discurso artístico de Vincent van Gogh é integrado tanto por seu discurso pictórico quanto por seu discurso epistolar. A fim de compreender o discurso artístico de van Gogh no contexto de sua produção discursiva nas duas modalidades, foram analisados os elementos discursivos presentes na produção pictórica e nas cartas que o pintor escreveu acerca de sua produção artística, bem como na análise de sua história de vida. A investigação contou com o aporte de três bases teóricas da Linguística para analisar os corpora pictórico e epistolar: a Teoria Semiótica Social Multimodal (TSSM), que foi empregada para analisar a produção de sentidos nas telas; a Teoria da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), que auxiliou a análise da produção de sentidos nas cartas referentes às telas; e a Análise de Discurso Crítica (ADC) que subsidiou a análise de uma carta na íntegra para a compreensão de aspectos contextuais do discurso artístico. Com o emprego de categorias da TSSM, LSF e ADC e de categorias novas, propostas por esta pesquisa, foram triangulados os dados dos corpora pictórico e epistolar, para descrever as ocorrências e as recorrências de elementos ou estratégias discursivas nos dois gêneros textuais analisados. Na triangulação foram aplicadas novas categorias de análise tais como Gesto Pictórico, Transparência, Inacabamento, Incompletude e Limiar Artístico que constituem uma contribuição desta pesquisa para a área da multimodalidade, em especial para a análise do discurso artístico. A triangulação buscou investigar a colaboração entre elementos discursivos nos dois gêneros pesquisados, observando para isso, se os elementos discursivos encontrados nas telas correspondiam com alguma função desempenhada por elementos encontrados nas cartas. Dessa forma, foi analisado se e como os modos e estratégias discursivas presentes nas cartas ocorreram nas telas; e se e como os modos e estratégias discursivas nas telas ocorreram nas cartas a fim de descrever qual a natureza e função dessas ocorrências. Com a ajuda da triangulação, foi possível descrever a ocorrência dos elementos discursivos visuais que se relacionam com a ocorrência de elementos correspondentes, presentes na análise do Sistema de Transitividade das cartas. As ocorrências observadas na triangulação foram categorizadas como ocorrências de natureza semântica e léxico-gramatical. Na triangulação, foi verificada a ocorrência simultânea de mais de uma categoria na mesma oração e/ou no mesmo construto visual devido à natureza interdependente dos elementos discursivos para construir o sentido e a observação dos padrões de agrupamentos pode indicar as estratégias discursivas presentes tanto nas telas quanto nas cartas. Para sondar as conexões de nexo entre os achados da análise visual com os achados da análise textual, propus alguns caminhos possíveis de comparação: por sentido, por forma e por função. Essas possibilidades foram transpostas para as funções e metafunções visuais e da linguagem, propostas por O’Toole (1994) e por Halliday (2014) e puderam se desdobrar em diferentes combinações de acordo com sua ocorrência e intercorrência. A triangulação trouxe à tona a recorrência da combinação de usos semióticos, o que proporcionou para esta pesquisa construir, preliminarmente, uma visão panorâmica das recorrências do uso conjugado dos recursos semióticos que pode indicar a organização interna da urdidura do discurso artístico de van Gogh. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This thesis is a qualitative and interpretative research conducted at the University of Brasilia’s Graduate Program in Linguistics, on the area of Language and Society in Discourses, Social Representations and texts, in Brazil. This research proposed the thesis that the artistic discourse of Vincent van Gogh is integrated by both his pictorial and his epistolary discourse. In order to understand van Gogh’s art discourse in the context of its production, the research analyzed the discourse’s elements of four paintings and the discourse’s elements of the letters the painter wrote about these paintings, and also, his history of life. The investigation included the input of three Linguistics’ theoretical bases to analyze the pictorial and epistolary data: Multimodal Social Semiotics Theory, (TSSM) which was used to analyze the paintings’ meanings production; Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory (LSF), which helped the analysis of the letters referring to the paintings; and Critical Discourse Analysis (ADC) which supported the understanding of contextual aspects of the artistic discourse by the analysing a full letter. With the employment of TSSM, LSF and ADC categories and the new categories proposed by this research, the pictorial and epistolary data were triangulated to describe the elements or discursive strategies occurrences and recurrences in both modalities. At the triangulation phase, there were applied new analysis categories such as Painterly Gesture, Transparency, Incompleteness and Artistic Threshold that constitute a contribution of this research to the field of multimodality, especially for the study of the artistic discourse. The triangulation sought to investigate the collaboration between discursive elements in both modalities surveyed, watching for this, if the discursive elements found on the paintings corresponded to any function performed by elements found in the letters. In order to describe the nature and function of such occurrences, it was examined whether and how the modes and discursive strategies in the letters occurred on the paintings; and whether and how the modes and discursive strategies on the paintings occurred in the letters. With the aid of triangulation it was possible to describe the occurrence of visual discourse elements that relate to the occurrence of corresponding elements found by the analysis of Transitivity in the letters. The events observed at the triangulation were categorized as instances of semantic and lexical-grammatical nature. Due to the discursive elements that build meaning’s interdependent nature, simultaneous occurrences were verified in the triangulation, in more than one category on the same sentence and /or in the same visual construct. The observation of patterns has shown the discursive strategies both in the paintings and the letters. To probe the connections of the nexus between the visual analysis’ findings with the textual analysis’ findings, the research proposed some possible ways of comparison. These possibilities were based on visual functions proposed by O'Toole (1994) and metafunctions proposed by Halliday (2014) and unfolded in different combinations according to their occurrences. The triangulation has shown the uses’ recurrence of the semiotic combinations, which provided for this research to preliminarily build a panoramic view of the combined semiotic uses that may indicate the warp’s internal organization of van Gogh’s artistic discourse.

Thesis (MA VA (Visual Arts))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The primary function of paintings and novels in Western culture has historically been considered the depiction or description of reality. Over the course of the last century, however, the inherent reflexivity of both art and literature has become progressively more insistent and programmatic, in such a way as challenges the relationship between form and the world. A re-thinking of the role of representation is thus central to both modernism and postmodernism. This thesis is an investigation into the relationship between modern and postmodern reflexivity. Through the close examination of four artists who serve as case studies, I argue that literary and artistic modernism‟s emphasis on form and subjectivity, as well as the tendency of postmodern art and writing to flaunt its own status as rhetoric/fiction, are different facets of a continuous response to a rapidly changing world. Using the insights of post-structuralist theory, I suggest that whereas modernism‟s reflexive drive is directed towards truth and self-knowledge, postmodern reflexivity is centrally concerned with the elusive, continually shifting nature of meaning. What emerges in the light of the practice of individual artist and authors, however, is that the modern and postmodern reflexive modes are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but can co-exist, producing a vital and necessary tension. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Beskrywing en uitbeelding van die werklikheid word geskiedkundig as die kernfunksies van skilderye en die roman in die Westerse kultuur beskou. Gedurende die laaste eeu het die inherente refleksiwiteit van beide kuns en letterkunde toenemend meer programmaties en sistematies geword. Dit het geskied op „n wyse wat die verhouding tussen vorm en die wêreld uitdaag. „n Herbesinning van die rol van uitbeelding of representasie is gevolglik van sentrale belang vir beide modernisme en postmodernisme. Hierdie tesis is „n ondersoek na die verwantskap tussen moderne en postmoderne refleksiwiteit. Deur „n noukerige ondersoek van vier kunstenaars se werk, stel ek voor dat die letterkundige en artistieke klem van modernisme op vorm en subjektiwiteit, sowel as die gebruiklike kenmerk van retoriek/fiksie, verskillende aspekte is van „n voortdurende weerkaatsing op „n vinnig veranderende wêreld is. Deur die teoretiese perspektiewe van post-stukturalisme toe te pas, stel ek voor dat modernistiese refleksiwiteit neig na die waarheid en selfkennis, terwyl postmoderne refleksiwiteit fokus op die onbepaalde en veranderlike aard van betekenis. Nietemin, uit my kritiese beskouing van die kreatiewe praktyk van afsonderlike kunstenaars en skrywers blyk dit dat die modernistiese en postmodernistiese refleksiewe benaderinge nie noodwendig mekaar uitsluit nie, maar saam kan bestaan en „n dinamiese en noodsaaklike spanning skep.
