Relações de trabalho e gênero em práticas discursivas do movimento nacional de catadores de materiais recicláveis

Abstract

This dissertation aims to reflect on the discursive construction of work and gender relations constituted on the website of the National Movement of Recyclable Waste Pickers (Movimento Nacional dos Catadores de Materiais Recicláveis: MNCR) , describing and analyzing how the discursive community of these practices is constituted and the discursive formations on relations of work and gender assumed by this community. The research, of bibliographic and documentary character, is located in the theoretical-methodological perspective of the French Discourse Analysis (AD) and addresses the discursive practice as a central concept, considering that it is possible to glimpse the ways in which human action is materialized through the language. The theoretical-methodological path traces a look at the discursive practices of the MNCR from the assumptions of Maingueneau (1997; 2005), Charaudeau and Maingueneau (2014) of the contextualization and problematization of work and gender relations, taking as reference Pinto (2010 ), Engels (1896/2013), Antunes (2010), Alves (2010), Cisne (2012), Álvaro (2013), Souza-Lobo (2011), Saffioti (2004) and Kergoat (1989; 2010), of the contextualization of the emergence of movement of waste pickers through Silva (2006), the presentation of the MNCR website and the identification of the actions that constitute it. The analysis allows, mainly, to reveal if the discursive formations on work and gender relations assumed by the waste pickers are centered on the principles of equality or inequality, as well as to outline a profile of the enunciating subjects and to demonstrate the linguistic-discursive mechanisms that stand out in each discursive practice. The corpus consists of ten materials in PDF format, characterized as documents of a formative, guidance and awareness documents, structured in pamphlet, poster, statement, booklets and folder. The results characterize the actions of waste pickers on the site as a political practice made up of private actions that intersect and are constructed as discursive practices aimed at the self-constitution of the MNCR, the formation of political subjects and the sensitization of society to the movement's proposal. The discursive processes are sometimes integrated to demarcate a place of speech for the waste picker organized, sometimes they are dispersed and reveal, in a more accentuated way, the contradictions of work and gender relations still present in the movement's discourse.
