Autoralidade fundadora no discurso constituinte teológico

Abstract

Our Thesis has as its theme the study of the enunciative-creative complexity that is established within the theological constituent discourse. We base ourselves on the theoretical-methodological apparatus of French Discourse Analysis (DA), according to the enunciative-discursive perspective proposed by Maingueneau (1995, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007a, 2007b, 2007c, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015a, 2015b, 2016, 2020, 2022), in dialogue with the studies of Nascimento (2009, 2020a, 2020b) and theologian Gabus (1977). The thesis we defend is that the theological constituent discourse is organized by means of a founding authorship, which intertwines author and hyperenunciator in a creative paratopic process, guaranteeing legitimacy to its statements. An erasure of the voice of the theological producer allows the enunciation to be established by a hyperenunciator, who is beyond any locality and who becomes the guarantor of this discourse. Our general objective is to examine the enunciative creative complexity of the theological constituent discourse, by associating the notions of authorship, creative paratopia and hyperenunciator. As specific objectives, we aim to understand how the image of the author is constituted in the selected corpus and the discursive ethos that emerges from the paratopic coupling; to identify how the creative paratopia displaces the author-subject in the creative act; to verify how the hyperenunciator establishes himself in the theological scenography, guaranteeing stability to his statements. To prove our thesis, we delimited the object of analysis to three excerpts from the canonical Gospel of John: the prologue – John 1: 1-18; the washing of the feet – John 13: 1-20; the resurrection – John 20: 1-10. The conclusions, resulting from the analytical procedures, corroborate the proof of the proposed thesis, insofar as the corpus analyzed revealed linguistic-discursive marks of the constitutive theological discourse, which involve an authorial instance, marked by a creative paratopic location and by the establishment of a hyperenunciator, an Integrating and Absolute subject, which supports the theological scenography.
