A intertextualidade e sua relação com a midiatização da ciência na Revista Galileu

Abstract

This thesis aims to present the results of the investigation on the phenomenon of intertextuality and its relationship with two purposes (inform and captivate), which are specific to the media domain. The study focuses on the mediatization of science, which is at the intersection of the scientific, didactic and media domains. The research analyzes the explicit intertextuality in the examined corpus, a collection of twenty scientific dissemination news published in Revista Galileu online, taking into account the purposes of information and captation, as well as the identity of the actors mentioned, in order to identify the value that the reader can assign to the information conveyed. To that end, a quantitative and qualitative methodology is used, which includes description, analysis and interpretation of a corpus composed of four selected samples from the general corpus. The theoretical frame of reference encompasses the notion of intertextuality in Barthes (2012), Beaugrande and Dressler (2016); however, we focus on the concept of intertextuality that comes from Koch (2009, 2016); Koch and Elias (2014, 2016); Koch, Bentes and Cavalcante (2012); other concepts, such as (a) communication contract; (b) mediatization discourse of science; (c) discursive restrictions, especially seriousness and emotionality; and (d) credibility, legitimation and captation strategies are based on Charaudeau (2008, 2010, 2013, 2016), as well as on Charaudeau and Maingueneau (2012). The concept of reported speech is borrowed from Maingueneau (2011), with the notions of (a) direct and indirect speech; (b) modalization of discourse according to; (c) textual island. The study reveals that intertextuality, in news about scientific media dissemination, constitutes a strategy for (a) legitimacy: the speaker demonstrates authority; (b) credibility: the speaker demonstrates the ability to persuade; and for (c) capturing: the speaker intends to raise awareness using intertextuality as a strategy in the form of citation in titles, subtitles and first paragraphs, in order to capture interest in the information. According to the results, it is possible to affirm that this investigation contributes to the set of works in the field of Applied Linguistics directed to the formation of a reader who is aware of the power of language, mainly in scientific dissemination news.
