The Architectonics of Luna Clara e Apolo Onze: a Metalinguistic Reflection

Abstract

This paper proposes a metalinguistic reflection about the methodological process from which resulted a master's degree thesis entitled Luna Clara e Apolo Onze: a creative organization of voices. More specifically, it intends to show how, from the foundations of dialogical discourse analysis, and from a preliminary examination of the corpus, the book of Adriana Falcão entitled Luna Clara e Apolo Onze, the author of the research developed a specific way of describing the authorial architectonics of a verbal work which integrates visual resources. It intends still to consider how, in the context of the dialogic conception of language, one can propose an object of study, and a specific way of studying it by considering a phenomenon such as a book and examining it by means of concepts compatible with this object, instead of applying ready-made categories.
