O amor como argumento: uma análise textual de gêneros produzidos por suicidas

Abstract

This study aims to present results obtained from the use of the textual / discursive analysis adapted from Adam (2011) model used in genres produced by suicide (letters and notes) who were motivated by the love or unrequited love as the cause of self-inflicted death (corpus collected in surveys filed in the National Archive of RJ – 1889-1940) . The analysis model created identified this type of motivation ( when compared to others found motives) and indicates that the documents fell into a plan to build representations of actions in two movements: the choice of voluntary death and the preparation of a message writing, not always focused on presenting motivations for suicidal act. Using the model, it identified treating a sociodiscursiva activity materialized by a written format, bringing, in most cases, beliefs, and I image of a conservative and religious discourse.
