Discurso e intertextualidade: uma retrospectiva com base em 100 anos de seca

Abstract

For many years the saga of the drought is being denounced and depicted in various ways by various avenues of information, and the numerous textual genres have shown evidence of the reasons for which, even today, in Brazil, still have not managed to revert the negative consequences of this phenomenon. On the basis of records made through verbal speech and/or non-verbal, our proposal, in this article is to establish the dialogical relations (BAKHTIN, 1997) by means of the intertextual lodged between texts of different semiosis, with the objective of bringing them and cause a reflection on the subject from these speeches that sometimes assume historical character, sometimes have a complaint about the alienation of politicians with regard to this problem. For both, restrict an interim period of 100 years: 1915 (year in that happened to the first great drought of XX century) to 2015 (current year and centenary of this murky phenomenon). The analysis of textual cutouts on this theme presented in multisemiotic genres allows the caller to reflect on two aspects: 1. the neglect of rulers for the victims of this tragedy and 2. negligence in the applicability of public policies to resolve this tragedy, announced since the 16th century (1583/1585), with the first signs of this calamity, and repeated numerous times, the example of the severe drought that ravaged the Brazilian Northeast in 1877, in 1915 and in 2013. At the end of this analysis, we can be concluded that the characters change, but the scenario remains the same and, probably, this problem still continue without solution for some time.
