Revisitando a relação entre texto, contexto e gênero: uma análise do documento “Entrevista de Pelé”.

Abstract

This paper presents a socio-discursive approach to the document that within the HISTEL group we call the "Pelé Interview" and which is the empirical object of analysis of all the articles in this publication. In our proposal, the document is analysed considering the text as a complex, open and dynamic semiotic object (Bernárdez, 1995; Miranda, 2010) and adopting the descending methodological approach adopted by Sociodiscursive Interactionism (Bronckart 1997, 2008), based on Voloshinov's definition ([1929] 2009). This approach involves starting the analysis by looking at the social practices and contexts in which the texts are produced, and then analysing the (semio)linguistic elements that shape them. In this case, we started with a "text" that is made up of fragments of other previous texts, through a process of editing and collage. It was therefore necessary to carry out a procedure of reconstruction of a complex textual production process, which brought together different fragments of texts produced at different historical moments. The analysis proposed in this paper allows us to discuss the situational context and the socio-historical context of the production of edited texts, and also to debate problems of identification and characterisation of the textual genre involved in the process of constructing edited texts.
