SUMMARY:

All spheres of human activity are related to the use of language through (oral and written) utterances, this is Bakhtin's perspective (1997), from which we analyze records - which, for the purposes of this study, we call notebook - produced in textile workshops of São Paulo that employ Bolivian migrants. The objectives of the investigation are, from the examination of stable elements that make up the notebook genre, to interpret the context of slave-like work conditions, a situation in which the analyzed genre was produced, and to highlight specificities of this social sphere. Investigating discourse under the Bakhtinian conception of gender implies dealing with relatively stable types of utterances, identifying, in the verbal and extraverbal contexts, their constitutive aspects, which are situational, historical and ideological. The choice of this perspective is explained by the main properties attributed to the utterance. According to Bakhtin (1997), the utterance is capable of materializing specific aspects of the enunciative situation and, at the same time, socio-discursive elements stabilized throughout its history; to recognize the space of the other in the dynamics of discourse, in which multiple voices intertwine, constituting the genre itself and, above all, to highlight specificities of the social spheres in which it is produced. Following this direction, we analyzed the notebook genre, based on the study (a) of its production conditions – recording data on workers, production, financial control and work organization, (b) the field of human activity in which this genre is produced – labor activity in sewing workshops in which migrants are subjected to working conditions analogous to slavery – and (c) the possible social roles of participants in this field of activity – manager, employees, textile and clothing production, etc. This research was undertaken from a qualitative perspective (FLICK, 2009) of investigation, which means that the analysis of the data is not intended to be impartial or free from social, cultural or political trends and also that the changes through which the research (and the researcher) passes are assumed as part of the study and, therefore, are documented, organized and, to some extent, analyzed.
