THE BRAZILIAN ESPERANTO: THE LANGUAGE AND THE SPEECH IN THE (DES)CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITIES IN MACUNAÍMA

Resumen

In this article we analyze the representations of Brazilian cultures and identities through the discourses that permeate the work Macunaíma: the hero without any character, by Mário de Andrade, published in Brazil in 1928. We base our analyzes based on theories that present the understanding of language and ideology, discourse analysis, history, culture and identity. For this purpose, we searched for references in Bagno (2005), Candido (2009), Fiorin (2007), Mota (1997), Moraes (1978), Ortiz (2013), Thiesse (1999) and other researchers. Starting from the mentioned authors, we seek to investigate, in the chosen work, raising the following questions: "What are the representations of Brazilian cultures through the mosaic of discourses constructed in Macunaíma?", "How the language employed dialogues with the literary movement in its context of production? "," What are the discursive ideologies represented by the formal, regional, African, indigenous, and popular linguistic variations adopted by the author? " Based on similar inquiries, we infer about the productions and cultural representations that permeate the history of the Brazilian people, also highlighting the elements that confer the possible identities / representations in Macunaíma.
