A discursivização da repressão e da liberdade em Stella Manhattan, de Silviano Santiago
Keywords:
Dictatorship, Sexuality, Values, Global SemanticAbstract
The novel Stella Manhattan serves as the corpus for this essay. This story takes the reader on a trip marked by the construction of imagery of individuals led by ideals, beliefs, and wants that, while distinct, are placed in the same discursive moment, namely the Brazilian military dictatorship. It should be noted that the setting for the characters' conflicts is the city of New York, where Stella Manhattan/ Eduardo lives. Eduardo is a character who is divided into two: Eduardo, a middle-class young man who is forcibly sent to the American city by his parents because of his undesirable (considering the current norm) sexual orientation; and Stella, an inscription of sexual freedom and an attempt to escape morality. The primary goal of this study is to examine the image formation technique used in the work in question using the global semantic proposed by Maingueneau (2008), with three categories in mind: themes, language, and modes of enunciation.
