Análise do discurso em a sociedade literária e a torta de casca de batata, de Mary Ann Shaffer e Annie Barrows

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the political discourses present in four letters from the novel “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” (2009), by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, also considering the historical and sociocultural aspects of the work. During the research, the historical context and implications of the letters during the post-World War II period are surveyed. To solidify the research, the methodology adopted is bibliographic in nature, based on the theory of DA. The research steps include: reading the corpus, selecting four relevant letters, compiling and reviewing bibliographic references, etc. Finally, the discourses present in the four letters in the work and the power relations in force in the narrative were discussed, as well as the reconstruction of the identities of the individuals. Thus, the work achieves its objective of analyzing the political discourses in the letters of the novel, demonstrating the relevance of DA in literary interpretation
