Um sujeito Shakespeariano Shylock em O Mercador de Veneza

Abstract

This research, entitled A shakespearean subject Shylock in Shakespeare s The Merchant of Venice aims at investigating subject constitution process in shakespearean dramatic action. Theoretical reflection is inscribed in Michel Pêcheux s Discourse Analysis studies, dialoguing with Literary Discourse from Dominique Maingueneau s framework and some bakhtinean notions. Corpus will be constituted by Shylock s sayings in the analyzed play. In Dramatic Action, Shylock, as a subjective instance, is inscribed in several discursive formations, what makes his constitution takes a diversity of discursive places in the dramatic action as an enunciative event. Such position takings are inserted in intra and interdiscursive clues, where subjective processes take place. Analysis will be taken considering macro and micro perspectives. In the first one, production conditions will be explicited. In the second, regularities from subjective condition will be punctuated, considering correlational matrixes. Thus, it was realized subjective constitution is constructed by discursive crossings, producing singular senses which emerge from subject position takings in dramatic action.
