Políticas linguísticas no espaço entre-línguas-culturas: o sujeito indígena em documentos oficiais

Abstract

This article presents the development and results of the research project called Ser-estar-entre-linguasculturas: politicas linguisticas e educacao de estudantes indigenas em Chapeco/SC (Being between language-cultures: linguistic policies and education of indigenous students in Chapeco/SC). The objective was to perform the description and analysis of state and national documents, which produce linguistic politics that affect the relationship between indigenous students and their coexisting language. Methodogically, the following documents were selected in order to produce our analysis: the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1998, the National Education Guidelines and Framework Law (LDB) of 1996 and Proposta Curricular de Santa Catarina (PCSC) (Curricular Proposal of Santa Catarina) of 2014 - the last one being chosen due to the demarcation of this research: the region of Universidade Federal da Fronteira do Sul (UFFS), Chapeco/RS Campus. Our theoretical point of view is based on the French Discursive Analysis, from which we use some concepts as language, subject, discursive memory and muzzling. It is important to emphasize that the methodology of this research has a lenient approach and interpretative basis. Thus, we affiliate to the interpretation concept on a discursive view, in which it constitutes the discursive memory, embracing other speeches previously mentioned and which the subject renews in their speech. The results point to muzzling of the culture-language of the indigenous that resounds in the official documents through the white men s speech. In these terms, we interpret that there is an indigenous labeling as being wild, non-civilized, and needing to go through a civilization process. KEYWORDS: Linguistic Policies; Language; Indigenous Subject; Official Documents.
