O discurso feminista no pós-guerra : uma análise da construção de face em Simone de Beauvoir e Valerie Solanas

Abstract

This paper approaches the modeling of the social image of the authors Simone de Beauvoir and Valerie Solanas in their respectives books “The Second Sex” and “SCUM Manifesto”, using Goffman’s (1980) and Brown & Levinson (1987) approache of the notion of interaction as in his studies about a theory of face modeling and that is also in the Tannen & Wallat’s (1998) theory of interactional frames. It is taken in account, nonetheless, that each individual brings with theirselves previous knowledge which help in the choices in relation to the interactive moment, as well as it evaluates and project intentions for future meetings. This way, it is necessary to observe the context that surrounds the statements and the communication participants themselves. As the corpus used in this paper is made of text with social meaning on issues related to gender, it is important to also think about sociological made characters on the language use. Larkoff’s (1975) studies are taking as model as they are about that that the author defines as masculine and feminine’s languages. This thesis searchs not only define the result of the choices made by Simone de Beauvoir and Valerie Solanas in the modeling of theirs social images, but also understand the process that is used for that modeling.
