Práticas de translinguagem e hibridação nos modos de fazer de uma professora de língua inglesa em uma escola indígena pataxó.

Abstract

This article is the result of a research that aimed to investigate the effects of the identity constitution of an English language teacher on her utterances and pedagogical practices in a Pataxó indigenous school taking into account the sociocultural context and issues related to language and identity(ies). To reflect on this, the object of the research is inserted in the field of Applied Linguistics and the theoretical and methodological framework is also composed of Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalytic theory dialoguing with the Education field and Cultural Studies informed by Psychoanalysis. Therefore, it is a transdisciplinary study (Celani, 2004). As a methodology, qualitative and interpretive research was carried out, based on a case study using the method of clinical orientation (Freud, 1980). As an overall result, this research has revealead that, reflecting a context of cultural hybridization, there is an uncanny resemblance between the English language and the Patxohã language; however they occupy different positions in the affective and mnemonic-identitary orders when taught together during the English language classes.
