Abstract

This paper presents a study whose general objective is understanding the production of biographies by Brazilian journalists from the perspective of a social and journalistic phenomenon, from the discourse of authorship on journalistic practice and its contribution to the evolution of biographism in Brazil. Through interviews with biographers journalists Alberto Dines, Neto Lira, Mario Magalhães, Regina Zappa and Ruy Castro, the research problematises this say´s authorship place in setting up a discourse about doing journalism as a knowledge and the influence of this knowledge in the development of a new Brazilian biographism nowadays. To this end, the study has the following objectives to understand the construction of a craft and learn from the referential relationship between journalists, biographers and the development of a new biographism in Brazil; understand the constitution of authorship status from the paths of these subjects journalist and biographer position and they perceive themselves in these places; grasp the narrative of ways, the life story writing, from the construction of the text, choices and writing inflections of each journalist; understand the nuances of the relationship between biographer and biography from the choice of character and individual dimensions shared by each of these subjects; reflect on the condition of the researcher as a subject of research in the author position, journalist and researcher working with the interview technique on a methodological-reflective exercise on my own research. In the analysis of interviews, was built a hypertext report articulating the speech of journalists, the reflections of the survey and excerpts from biographies cited to illustrate the narrative of the productions working the analysis in four areas: the construction of an craft and a knowledge; the authorship status: the journalist to biographer; the narrative ways: from writing to history of life; biographers and biography - the sharing of the small x. At the end of the study it can be understood the reporter's craft, knowing that these journalists go through your doing in this new position of authorship and delimit a new narrative territory, biographical, and the biography, in its turn, resets the report. In this exchange, occurs the construction of a episteme in processuality of experience, in the carpentry of each of these biographers. In addition it is clear that the contribution of these journalists is to support the genre to readers in contemporary times, in a fabric of the narrative experience renewed. From the considerations about the research, it is understood that the position of these journalists in authorship is subject to reporter position that, in the ambience, the biographical genre, arises, at certain times, as a researcher – working with in-depth interviews, literature review, use of sources of references notes – and as a writer to explore a creative narrative. But it's the reporter who articulates these other subjects. The reaffirmation of the place of speech as a reporter points out journalistic know, the practice, as a value, something that should be differential and qualitative work. An identity constitution of the journalist. In the research it is observed that more than establish a new place of production, these biographers journalists constitute a generational movement and evolution and renewal of biographing, with the improvement of techniques and narrative formats, work with sources and composition of the work. A reconfiguration of the Brazilian biographism from the journalistic practice knowledge. Finally, the research helps to show the size and importance of this dual ownership, biography by journalism and journalism by biography from and journalism biography from the subject of this biographical space, journalists. Its impetus to explore the possibilities of this narrative bring new vigor to the genre and the journalistic field.
