Abstract: This dissertation investigates the modes of circulation of the thought of Ferdinand de Saussure
in Portuguese Language education programs (Letras: Língua Portuguesa) with a single-track
qualification at Brazilian federal universities, seeking to understand how his theory is presented
and mediated in the context of linguistics teaching. It is based on the hypothesis that the
circulation of Saussurean thought does not occur directly, but through processes of mediation
that select, reorganize, and stabilize certain interpretations of his work. Methodologically, the
study combines documentary analysis and interpretative analysis of the selected materials,
considering the role of textbooks in the transmission of linguistic knowledge. The corpus is
composed of course syllabi and linguistics textbooks used in these programs. By problematizing
these mediations, the study aims to contribute to reflections on the circulation of linguistic
theories, the processes of knowledge transmission, and linguistics teacher education in the
Brazilian academic context.2026-05-29T00:00:00ZPor não nos dobrarmos diante do trono de nenhum Senhorhttps://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/502632026-09-15T06:24:21Z2025-08-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Por não nos dobrarmos diante do trono de nenhum Senhor
Abstract: This dissertation explores travesti literature as a disruptive force against the ontological,
epistemic, and aesthetic structures that uphold the modern concepts of subject, language,
and humanity. Focusing on Neca by Amara Moira and Traquejos Pentecostais para Matar
o Senhor – by Ventura Profana, the research approaches travestility not as a static identity
but as an embodied epistemology, political body, and insurgent poetics. Grounded in
decolonial, transfeminist, and antiracist literary criticism, the study mobilizes concepts
such as languaging, identity-in-politics, epistemology of debauchery, and plurinationality.
Rather than representing travestility, the work proposes an affected listening to its narrative
performances, where eroticism, faith, mockery, and insubordination become reading and
writing practices. This is a journey between submission and destruction, between pleasure
and prayer, between the blade and the altar. Travesti literature is understood here as a
gesture of healing and an offering to the travestis who write, to those who came before,
and to those yet to come.

Abstract: This study explores statements made by former President Jair Bolsonaro that reflect the role of women in society, with the aim of investigating how speeches about women are strategically employed in the political context of the far-right. The research examines the use of misogynistic speech as a tool to consolidate Bolsonaro's image as a representative of traditional conservative values, which position themselves against progressive agendas. Based on the theoretical contributions of Foucault (2022), especially in the analysis of speech and power relations, and Rago (2016), who discusses the social constructions of gender and the impact of language on the constitution of identities, the analysis considers how these speeches are rooted in a specific political context. The method used is the archeogenealogical perspective of Foucaultian Discursive Studies, which makes it possible to examine the macro and micro roots of the emerging statements, considering the electoral context that led to the emergence of these statements, as well as the periods of political fragility of the former president, in which misogynistic rhetoric became more aggressive as a means of consolidating his power. The methodological approach includes the selection of statements from Bolsonaro's public statements between 2019 and 2022, followed by a critical analysis that considers the discursive formations, power relations and resistance present in the speeches he gave. The general objective of the research is to analyze, from the archeogenealogical perspective of Foucaultian Discursive Studies, the misogynistic statements of former president Jair Bolsonaro, investigating how these statements operate as a political strategy to mobilize conservative sectors of society and legitimize speeches contrary to the progressive agenda. The specific objectives consist of describing the ways in which misogyny and sexism manifest themselves in the political speech of the Brazilian far right, in light of the Foucauldian perspective, examining how the statements that emerge from the speeches made by former president Jair Bolsonaro produce effects of truth that sustain practices of symbolic exclusion and gender violence, articulating themselves with conservative and authoritarian discursive formations; understand how such speeches are part of the historical continuity of violence against women in Brazil, while highlighting discontinuities promoted by the functioning of contemporary political speech, and analyze how far-right speeches are mobilized in the construction of the so-called “Cultural War”, with emphasis on its anti-feminist and anti-democratic dimension, as well as show the discursive practices of resistance to misogyny and sexism, especially those formulated by feminist movements and social collectives in the public and digital space, which oppose the dominant power mechanisms. The statements taken from former president Jair Bolsonaro’s speeches were organized into three categories, constructed from discursive regularities. The first category, entitled Disqualification of the feminine; the second category, Symbolic and discursive violence; and finally, the third category, Normalization of the feminine stereotype. The results suggest that the former president used misogynistic statements when addressing his conservative and reactionary followers to reinforce his position as a defender of traditional values. He criticizes gender equality policies and discredits feminist movements as part of his strategy to oppose the “progressive agenda,” seeking to solidify a loyal electorate that is resistant to social change and advances in women’s rights, in a strategy to strengthen the central role of a government plan aligned with patriarchy and the conservative perspective of Brazilian society. The findings indicate that Bolsonaro’s speeches not only sustain patriarchal power structures but also perpetuate a form of symbolic violence against women, while using the political context to roll back gender equality policies. These findings are essential to understanding the interactions between language and gender power in contemporary society and to enrich debates on how political speeches impact the perpetuation of social inequalities.2025-07-29T00:00:00ZRita perigosa para a censura ditatorial: disputa de sentidos sobre o feminino em suas composiçõeshttps://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/502342026-09-12T06:28:23Z2026-03-23T00:00:00ZTitle: Rita perigosa para a censura ditatorial: disputa de sentidos sobre o feminino em suas composições
Abstract: By observing how discourses about femininity are constituted, circulate, and are regulated by socio-historical conditions, (re)producing effects on gender relations and social practices, this study investigates the (re)production of meanings related to femininity, particularly concerning the female body, desire, and sexuality in Brazil during the Military Dictatorship. Unlike traditional historiographical approaches, which privilege institutional politics and, even within the artistic-cultural field, tend to focus on censorship as a direct response to criticism of the regime, this research proposes an analytical shift by considering artistic productions and censorship reports as discursive materialities capable of revealing mechanisms that regulate meanings about femininity. Grounded in the theoretical-methodological framework of Pêcheux’s Discourse Analysis, the study mobilizes concepts such as interdiscourse, ideology, discursive formation, metaphor, and the said and the unsaid, articulating archival research — with emphasis on reports from the Division of Censorship of Public Entertainment — with the analysis of Rita Lee’s compositions banned by the regime. The findings indicate that censorship prohibitions are not limited to sexual morality; they also target discursive movements that challenge gender stereotypes, the family institution, and regimes of containment imposed on the female body, sustained by discourses of moral propriety, thus rendering femininity visible as a site of dispute and ideological control. By articulating this analytical path with contemporary demands in Portuguese language teaching and text production, the study highlights the relevance of educating critical readers capable of understanding and working with the historicity of discourses and their effects on social life, especially in a context marked by the intensification of violence against women.2026-03-23T00:00:00Z
