Gota de Orvalho, de Benedita Azevedo: uma análise discursiva foucaultiana dos temas presentes na obra

Abstract

This work analyzes the poems (haiku) from the book "Gota de Orvalho", by Benedita Azevedo. Our main objective is to discuss how the author re-signifies a poetic form of Japanese origin when dealing with themes specific of her cultural identity (HALL, 2005). For this, we place our discussion in the field of Discourse Analysis, precisely, Michel Foucault's Discourse Analysis. We undertake a reading of his work "The Archeology of Knowledge" (2008), from which we highlight the conceptions of discursive formation, formation of concepts, statement and subject. In addition, authors of the field of cultural studies, such as Bauman (2013) and Hall (2005), are presented to discuss the theme of cultural identity in the globalized world, and Franchetti (1990), to theorize about Japanese literature. The methodological procedure used here consists of the analysis of 22 haiku, divided into 4 groups, based on the thematic regularities (FOUCAULT, 2008) verified, namely: climate, experience, season, flora, fauna and region. We conclude that Japanese culture is gaining space in the Brazilian literary scene through discontinuities and that haiku is constituted as an enunciative modality as soon as it is materialized through signs of nature and that this poetic form is already part of the culture of many Brazilians.
