O processo de significação das micronarrativas literárias na rede social Instagram

Abstract

This is a qualitative research that has as its object the process of literary micronarratives signification on the social network Instagram. Based on the initial question that guides it How does the process of signification of literary micronarratives occur on the social network Instagram?, we list the following research questions: what are the resources used in the construction of a literary micronarrative on the social network Instagram?; what is the role of the resources used in the construction of a literary narrative on the social network Instagram?; which are the movements used by a reader in the process of meaning of a literary micronarrative on Instagram?; how does the relationship between the author and the reader of a literary micronarrative on the social network Instagram occur?; how can micronarratives as an object of PL (Portuguese language) teaching represent a possibility beyond the immediacy of including digital discourse in classes? Given these questions, we defined the general objective of analyzing how the process of micronarratives’ signification occurs on the social network Instagram; following the specific objectives of i) identifying the resources used in the construction of a literary micronarrative on the social network Instagram; ii) describe the role of the resources used in the construction of a literary narrative on the social network Instagram; iii) investigate the movements used by a reader in the process of meaning of a literary micronarrative on Instagram, by comments; iv) investigate the relationship between the author and the reader of the literary micronarrative on Instagram; v) reflect on the way in which micronarratives as an object of PL teaching can represent a possibility beyond the immediacy of including digital discourse in classes. We have built a theoretical path from Foucault's foundations that are relevant to Discourse Analysis to Pêcheux, with the intention of integrating the assumptions of Paveau's Digital Discourse Analysis for an ecological analysis of literary discourse on the social network Instagram. To this end, the analyses consider data from the @microliteratura page on the social network Instagram and our corpus consists of a collection of examples around a composite of six publications from the aforementioned page, which correspond to seven micronarratives and the entire significance environment. We chose not to use the transcribed micronarratives, as this would lead to a linguistic analysis that considers the digital as a backin, and we used the screenshots for the purpose of a post-dualist analysis that takes the digital as a resource of signification. As a result, we identified the collaboration between author and reader as co-producers of the discourse, the recurring use of fixed forms and visual aspects that signify the literary discourse. Based on the study carried out, we outlined some possibilities for treating micronarratives on Instagram as an object of teaching in Basic Education.
