LITERATURA E RELIGIÃO: UM ESTUDO DAS INFLUÊNCIAS DO DISCURSO RELIGIOSO EM “DOM CASMURRO”, DE MACHADO DE ASSIS

Abstract

This research proposes to establish a possible dialogue between religious, literary and linguistic studies, using the Discourse Analysis of French affiliation created by Michel Pêcheux, as well as the conceptualization of the discourse, formation of the discursive subject, the understood language making sense, the Intertextual relations and the historical context. The work integrates the research line Analysis of the Religious Discourse and has by corpus the novel Dom Casmurro, of Machado de Assis. Among the theoreticians consulted for this dissertation, Bakhtin (1998), Brandão (2004), Dominique Maingueneau (1997), Koch (1997-2003), Pêcheux (1990) Thus, through the application of the theoretical-methodological framework, the objective was to verify how the Catholic Religious Discourse exerted influences on the production of the work in appreciation. For this, the analyzes were carried out, initially using the intertext and then the historical context as discursive elements in the construction of meaning. And it was inferred that in Dom Casmurro, a realist novel by Machado de Assis, the enunciator, although not authoring a literature that could be recognized as "Christian", presents an extensive work influenced by religious beliefs, specifically those of the Catholic Church .
