A metaforização dos sentidos na nomeação do ensino escolar em tempo de pandemia

Abstract

In this work, we aim to problematize the metaphorization of the sense of the words used for naming school education, in times of pandemic, through the statements contained in the discursive materiality in news from newspapers and official documents that circulated in the media during the period of suspension of face-to-face classes. Our research is based on the theoretical-analytical field French Discourse Analysis (hereinafter, AD) matrix, stemming from the theories of Michel Pêcheux and other authors liable to dialogue with these theories. We seek to understand the use of different formulations referring to school education, such as remote, distance education and online classes, analyzing how they are inserted in the discursive memory, modifying and moving in the materialities that circulate in the midst of the discursive event, pandemic. In our gesture of interpretation, we will describe and interpret the selected materiality, observing metaphorization as constituting the functioning of discursivity, considering that metaphor is the point of articulation between misunderstanding and non-sens. The analyzes show that metaphorizations of meaning about school education occur due to the pandemic, which caused a slippage in the way school education is meant. The school space is no longer the same, neither are the teaching methodologies, as the classroom has migrated to the homes of teachers and students.
