A mulher na coluna Retratos Femininos : tensão entre memória e esquecimento

Abstract

The present study aims to discursively analyze the newspaper column Retratos Femininos, published in 'A semana', a newspaper based in Sergipe, with circulation in Simão Dias, Paripiranga, Lagarto, from 1946 - 1969. "Retratos" profiled women from Simão Dias, according to its author (Carvalho Déda, under pseudonym of “Leonardo De Vince”), observations regarding their physical and psychological traits. We seek to analyze this column so as to understand the discourses contained therein: whether conservative and part of a disciplinary society or, contrarily, whether this discourse is disrupted. Consequently, we study the conditions for discourse production, authorship, subjectivity, truth, power/knowledge, discipline, develop by Foucault; we also consider Gregolin when analyzing media discourse. For analysis purposes, we select the columns that were published during the first year of the newspaper (1946), comprised of sixteen editions, due to its uninterrupted characteristic regarding the process from production to newspaper circulation. As for the analysis methodology, we employ Foucault's teachings, in "The Archaeology of Knowledge", "The Discourse on Language", similarly, we employ the ideas of Orlandi (2015).
