RESUMO:

This thesis, entitled Visual Formulations and Discursive Circulation: Emojis in/of Social Networks, is part of the line of Study of Discursive Processes, of the Postgraduate Program in Linguistics, of the University of the State of Mato Grosso (PPGL/UNEMAT). We propose to discuss the visual formulations, constituted in emojis, a specific visual language of the/to the virtual environment, whose term is a consequence of the junction between (e) image + (moji) letter/word. Emojis are available on digital communication devices, so when we open the dialog box, we see a variety of images organized by categories, highlighting smileys and people, animals and nature, food and drink, activities, travel and places, objects , symbols and flags, etc. It is important for us to understand the discursive functioning of these formulations, so we theoretically affiliate the Discourse Analysis, as worked by Pêcheux, in France and by Orlandi, in Brazil, also considering as essential the contributions of many other authors, who have much contributed to the theorization of complex concepts related to the discipline. Considering the technological context of social networks as a discursive space for the functioning of meanings, we ask: how emojis are signified and are signified as a language; yet, how do they produce meaning effects in their visual formulations? By diving into the universe of emojis, we seek to question the effects of representation, of the supposed transparency of the meanings of the image that imposes a relationship with the thing, according to pragmatic theories of language. Thinking about a discursive configuration of visual language, in the form of articulation with technology, in the way of intervening in the memory of the discourse, in the relationship with the subject and the senses, we selected the materials that highlight emojis in different ways of meaning in space. virtual. We list as material for analysis, a montage that circulated on the social networks WhatsApp and Facebook, supposedly giving visibility to the set of images from antiquity (the hieroglyphs), linked to the supposedly set of images from the contemporary world (the emojis), whose montage is cadenced by the statement “4 thousand years later we speak the same language again”. In addition to this clipping, we selected some emojis, which play with the subject's gaze and interpretation. The work produced by Emojipedia is part of this operation, given as responsible for the meanings of the images. From these materials, we mobilized some concepts considered fundamental in the theoretical/analytical path, such as interdiscourse and discursive memory; paraphrase and polysemy; production conditions; ideology; the question about the verbal and the visual; the different symbolic materialities; These concepts made us better understand emojis as a materiality of the discourse of social networks.
