Um estudo da realização da seqüência narrativa no gênero notícia

Abstract

This research analyzes and describes the realization of the narrative sequences in the genre news of newspaper through the Michel Adam’s prototypical project of narrative sequences (cf. ADAM, 1992) and through the relations between this project and the proper structure of that genre. The corpus was formed by 48 news, being 24 about crimes and 24 about other subjects. They were extracted from the sites O Povo and Folha de São Paulo from September/2005 to September/2006 and later they were submitted to identification of the narrative macro-proposals in its textual structure. After, the news were classified as narrative and expositive according to identification or not of the narrative sequence in its structure. From this classification, we observed that the narrative sequence became predominantly current in the news about crimes, presenting almost always the following form of realization: the expressive occurrence of the narrative sequence in the lead, with all its phases, and the constant repetition of some narrative macro-proposals in the text like a characteristic and an extension of the content of the genre news. So, the narrative sequence functioned as an important mechanism of textual organization of the genre news, although its prototypical conformation is different of that one thought by Adam. About the other kinds of news, the profit was low. Itsrecurrent compositional structure is expositive, therefore we analyze it with the theoretician proposals of Bronckart (1999). This way, we tried to make possible a theoretical reflection about the realization in the genre news of the prototype of narrative sequence thought by Adam, waiting to contribute for the operacionalization of the notion of narrative textual sequence through the didactic treatment of not-literary genres, but narrative genres such as the genre news.
