Collage, Creative Authoring, and Critical Discourse Analysis: everyday microresistances
Collage. Creative authorship. Critical Discourse Studies. Microresistances. Daily.
This project presents the research that I have been developing with the GECRIA UnB/CNPq – Critical Education and Creative Authorship Research Group, linked to the Graduate Program in Linguistics at the University of Brasília. This work was born from a life-questioning and has been developing through a walk whose feet – and hands – are based, among others, on the ontology of the threefoldness of being (STEINER, 2008 [1919]), focusing on thinking-feeling- Act. The founding epistemology starts from Critical Discourse Studies, thus enabling text as interaction, process, encounter and action. It also starts from the recognition of trans-knowledge
and transgressive resistances (COROA; DIAS; LIMA, 2018) as instruments of questioning and combating the dominant hegemony that seeks to erase the possibility of producing meanings of the individual's world. It emerges from the investigation of discursive-identity practices germinated in collage and creative writing workshops, promoted by GECRIA, taught by me, along with other researchers, focusing on the personal, social and agent of change identities of the participants. Path investigating the agentive potential of collage and writing, from the perspective of creative authorship (DIAS, 2020), and its crossings by Critical Discourse Studies (FAIRCLOUGH, 2003; RESENDE; VIEIRA, 2016; DIAS, 2015 and others), as forms of everyday micro-resistance (CERTAU, 1994; OLIVEIRA; SGARBI, 2008 and others), in the face of the emotional and intellectual alienation produced by the propagation of hegemonically prepared discourses that intend to reduce the human being to an inanimate gear, devoid of critical thinking and affection.
