A presença indígena nos grafites de Belém: entre fraturas e resistências

Abstract

The discourse on indigenous societies are always silenced. Be the television media, press or on the Internet, discourses produced on these societies are always loaded with stereotypes, giving them the place of the uncivilized, the strange, the different from Western society. In this work, we consider that the modernity of colonization brought (thus) a silencing process in the colonized society. These speeches and silenced memories, according the conditions of historical possibilities, emerge, at times, in society. We start the research from the observation of the raise in the number of graffiti in the city of Belém in the last ten years, more precisely with the Indian figure. Our research seeks to analyze the construction of speeches and statements about indigenous societies in this urban intervention, the graffiti. As theoretical support, we chose to combine our object of study, the theoretical method of the French Aspect of Discourse Analysis, with concepts such as speech, statement, recurrences and dispersions, proposed by Michel Foucault, Jean-Jaqcques Courtine, which are used in studies of Discourse Analysis in Brazil, as one used by the Rosario Gregolin. In addition, other theoreticians who take the city as their research object is made present in our analysis, namely Massimo Canevacci and Lucrezia D'Alessio Ferrara, who consider the city as a communicative environment. We also use the Walter Mignolo's analysis of the fractured enunciation result of the colonization process.
