DISCURSIVE STRATEGIES IN “A MORALISTA” BY DINAH SILVEIRA DE QUEIRÓS

Abstract

This work seeks to prove the hypothesis surrounding the way texts written by women, by means of differentiated enunciative resources, elaborates a discourse about women’s universe. In the short story “A moralista” it is possible, through language, to detect the features of image and the stereotypes of women represented in literature as a mirror of the reality and also detecting the whole ideology that permeates the discursive formation which this discourse is originated from. Also, with more specific objectives, it tries to detect the place from where the subject, as enunciatee, constructs her utterance: a place for repetition or rupture of circulating discourses in society, and still shows how the historic subject of the enunciation formulates her discourse, deals with the language to produce meaning and constructs her identity.
