SENSES OF LEGAL EDUCATION AND READING: THE WORKING EFFICIENCY DISCOURSES IN/BY LANGUAGE
Language; Historical subject-form; Discursive formations; Pre-constructed
This thesis, included in the area of concentration Study of Linguistic Processes and in the research line Study of Discursive Processes, of the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program in Linguistics of the University of the State of Mato Grosso (PPGL/Unemat), affiliated with Materialist Discourse Analysis, theory that takes the discourse materialized in language as its object of study, aims to understand how, from the discourses about a representation of language, textualized in/by the prefaces and presentations of doctrines and books of Law, legal education means and is meaning, and the way in which their reading practices are established in these processes. The corpus consists of presentations and prefaces, cut from eight works, from which we extract each of the discursive sequences analyzed throughout this work. For the selection of a sequence and not another, as a criterion, we chose the presence, in the statements, of sayings about: the language used, the writing of the text and the didactic-pedagogical skills of its authors. In our analysis gestures, we observed that there are, at work, in the teaching materials, speeches about an idealized language representation, which is both clear and pleasant and whose use is capable of facilitating learning. These discourses are constitutively related to the capitalist historical subject-form that subjects the subject, and, due to their inscription in a network of neoliberal, individualist and technicist discursive formations, they signify legal education and its reading practices, based and under the bias of efficiency, establishing it as its paradigm. We also observe that, in the sayings about language, there is, presentified in the intradiscourse, a pre-constructed one, which at times sustains the very representation of the proposed language, justifying, as natural and unanimous, its application, at times retakes, by the already- sayings, meanings that enshrine the type of language, traditionally adopted in legal education as inaccessible, as a practice to be fought.
