Discursive gender and new languages in portuguese language teaching

Abstract

The new languages that circulate in different genres increase the possibilities of reading in classroom. So the purpose of this article is to discuss the meaning effects expressed by verbal-visual language of a printed report in order to observe the dialogical relationship that underlie the utterance and its meaning effect. To accomplish this, the analysis is based on Bakhtin's Circle dialogical theory and also on some researchers' theory about verbal-visual language in various genres, as proposed by Sobral (2010), Puzzo (2011), Berti-Santos (2011), Brait and Pistori (2012), Brait (2013), Dondis (2003) e Guimaraes (2004). To accomplish this proposal it was selected a news report The history of a look of Eliane Brum's from the collection The life that nobody sees (2006) which presents a significant relationship between the verbal text and the photography aesthetically crafted that integrates the utterance. Brum's expressive style distinguishes her report from the daily newspaper, marked by syntactic fragmentation without damage the entire utterance. We hope that the analysis of this example suggests strategies of reading the verbal-visual language and its effects in media genres.
