Gestos de leitura sobre a representação da mulher no volume 2 do livro didático de língua portuguesa “Novas Palavras”

Abstract

The present work discusses the representation of the woman in a textbook of Portuguese Language of the Secondary School used in a state school in the municipality of Amargosa. Talking about representations of the feminine in LD has been instigated in my academic trajectory through the research project "Gender and sexuality", as well as scholarship holder of Scientific Initiation (PIBIC-CNPQ).The choice of the New Words textbook, published by FTD, was due to our participation in the Portuguese-Portuguese subproject of the Initiation to Teaching Program (PIBID): the book in question is used in one of the schools in which the subproject Portuguese –Letters is developed. In proposing an investigation about the effects of senses on women, we turn to the theoretical-methodological framework of Discourse Analysis, starting from the postulates presented by Michel Pêcheux in France and his developments in Brazil, especially from the works developed by Eni Orlandi. From the point of view of the analysis material, we cut verbal and imaginary texts from which we proceed to the analytic gesture taking into account key concepts such as discourse, ideology, subject, paraphrase and polysemy. The results indicate that the activities of the textbook related to reading work at the level of paraphrase that works on the same matrix of meanings.
