Um estudo da arquitetura textual do gênero entrevista

Abstract

It was investigated, in this study, the textual architecture of the genre journalistic interview in two magazines of national circulation: Veja magazine - section Yellow - and Superinteressante magazine section Superpapo/Papo. The main hypothesis of study was that, although the interview genre is an activity of highly standardized language, that implies specific normative expectations of the part of the text producers, it makes possible, in its architecture, bigger heterogeneity of the textual sequences. In this direction, the characteristic of stability of the interview genre is determined from the regularities presented in the thematic content, the composition construction and in the style; and the dimension thematic content can be investigated when it begins from the studies of the text sequential organization. That is why, three genre constituent dimensions according to Bakhtin s conceptions were identified thematic content, composition construction and style. After that, it was carried out the study of the composition structure of the interview genre based on Adam s sequences theory (1997) and on the Bronchart s dialogue statute of the sequences (2003). For the development of the research, two corpora were studied: a corpus of analysis of the interviewees profile, corresponding to all interviews published in the years of 2004, 2005 and 2006; a corpus of analysis, that is constituted of twenty interviews, being ten interviews of each magazine, in these same years. In this corpus, the analyses were carried out through the successive phases of the interview internal construction: opening; presentation of the interviewee and subject; development; and closing. From these studies, it was concluded that, in the language action plan, the interview genre cannot be understood, produced without reference to the elements of its production situation, so, the aspects of the interaction and the social-historical conditions of production must be considered. In the style plan, the investigation showed that when interviewer and interviewee pronounce the sayings, they incorpore social roles linked to the exercise of the journalistic press rituals and, thus, they reveal the discourse midiatized character. The style also reveals the dialogic and poliphonic character of the saying, the inseparable characteristic between the genre analysis of their ways and nets of transmission and of the social picture of its production and publication. In the composition construction plan, although the interview constitutes itself of dialogue sequences and presents an explanatory sequences domain - that justifies the genre stable character - in both the magazines, it was significant the variety of sequences occurrense - argumentative, narrative, descriptive - that intercross and constitute this genre. In relation to the identification of the dominant sequence by interview phases, the results were still more differentiated, proving thus, the nature composition heterogeneous of the language. The analyses evidenced the direct relation between the thematic content and the way of genre planning, because the sequences adapt themselves to the content that can be said in order to deal with the text producers intentions. Although the characteristics described of the genre investigated are determined from regularities presented in the thematic content, composition construction and style, the genres changeable character allows that the interview genre presents its singularities in the organization way of the said and in the linguistic means that operate to say it.
