Em retalhos de missivas, a tessitura de uma representação discursiva: “... venha ver, comer, beber e respirar Nordeste ...”

Abstract

For 20 years, from 1924 to 1944, Câmara Cascudo and Mário de Andrade exchanged 159 letters, discussing the most varied themes belonging to the scenario cultural, economic, political and literary referring to that period. In this article, which is an excerpt from the doctorate defended in 2016, aims to analyze and interpret as the articulation of discursive representations (Rds) builds a schematic of the Northeast as a constitutive space of Brazilianness in Chamber correspondence Cascudo to Mário de Andrade. Therefore, excerpts from the letters of Chamber with terms directly linked to this representation, such as “Northeast”, “North” - which at that time still included or confused with the Northeast - and words from the same semantic-notional field, as “sertão”. The analysis shows that these terms do not occur systematically and that the representation of the Northeast is built mainly by evoking of scenes, situations and locations in the region. For the details of this construction, were categories from the Analysis Text of the Speeches (ADAM, 2008, 2011), rearticulated and redefined in (RODRIGUES, PASSEGGI, SILVA NETO, 2010) with emphasis in textualization operations, such as referencing, predication, modification, spatial location and temporal location. To develop the research, we used an analytical-interpretive methodology that fits the field qualitative research with a look that points to some procedures of the quantitative research.
