Política(s) de línguas em eventos internacionais sobre língua portuguesa

Abstract

In this research, we aimed to comprehend the discursive functioning of international events of Portuguese Language, organized and promoted by International Institute of Portuguese Language, from the textualization available in the events' web site. We analyzed according to theoretical-methodological perspective of Discourse Analysis based on the work of Michel Pêcheux and Eni Orlandi, articulated to Linguistic History of Ideas. The questions that guided this work were: (i) what is the linguistic politics that constitute senses about Portuguese language? (ii) what sense affiliations do the events conform the relation between unit and diversity of Portuguese in the events analyzed? In order do developed our interpretation gesture, we constructed an archive with the textualization of the cutouts from seven scientific events' web site held between 2010 (date of the first event) and 2013. We concluded that the events are conformed by senses constituted by the function of globalization and the Lusofonia imaginaries. Senses produced by these imaginaries constitute a politic of unit, homogeneity, university of language and of the States of Community of Countries of Portuguese Language (CPLP). Portuguese language is meant as united, equal in all countries of CPLP, having as reference the colonizer language, silencing the linguistic decolonization senses. These imaginaries, however, do not constitute without equivocal, contradictions, resistance produced by linguistic diversity, by the politic function that destabilize the unit senses.
