Letters from Mário de Andrade to Câmara Cascudo: discursive representations of friendship

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the construction of discursive representations friendship relationship with Câmara Cascudo in letters sent by Mário de Andrade. In order to describe, analyze and interpret these representations, the text recurs to some semantic categories from the Discourse Textual Analysis (DTA) by articulating them with other categories, notably Grize´s Logic (1996,1997), Text Linguistics and Semantics. In the theoretical foundation, proposals of Textual Analysis of Discourses are articulated, conceived by the linguist Jean-Michel Adam (1990, 2008a, 2011a), Text Linguistics, Semantics and Logic, focusing especially on the phenomenon of discursive representations. Through a qualitative approach, an analysis is made at 10 fragments of 7 letters written by Mário de Andrade and sent to Câmara Cascudo. Therefore, in the corpus analyzed, a set of discursive representations is constructed from the friendship with the potiguar writer, through categories proposed for analysis and used in Mário de Andrade´s discourse, highlighting the representation of a solid and truly friendship.
