Entrevista por e-mail: pragmática de um gênero (des)conhecido ou problemas comunicativos na variação do gênero

Abstract

The genre analysis as a stimulator of discussions in the field of linguistic studies, in the way that it is structured, constructs an epistemology that separates the subjetive factors of genre estructuring. Though it arises from an interactional statute, it disregards the problems of convention and use of genre because it does not considers the individual aspects of the language users and, in this way, lose sight of the fators related to the formation and to the variation of genre. In this sense, the presente article proposes to investigate the interactional path of a particular communicative event in regard to a genre that can be characterized as emergent. The particular aspect of the case studied resides in the fact that the discourse community is not the one that seems to be playing the principle role in formatting of the “interview by e-mail” as a genre, but the “fight” of the interactors with the novelty presented: a media that imposes a different pattern of interaction and textual forms that respect it.
