(Des)viados no discurso a formação de um vocabulário de identidade e resistência nas páginas do lampião.

Abstract

The Brazilian military dictatorship was a period of huge setbacks with regard to the freedoms and rights of the population, especially the social minorities, but also a period that allowed the formation of strong groups and actions of resistance. In this sense, the newspaper Lampião da Esquina had a great importance in the fight for the rights of the LGBTQIAP+ community. This work aims to analyze the way in which the newspaper used some lexical unities and expressions considered pejorative to the LGBTQIAP+ community in order to reframe its meanings. Based on the theoretical assumptions of Pêcheux and Orlandi on Discourse Analysis, we analyzed the editions zero, one, two, twenty-seven, twenty-eight and twenty-nine of Lampião da Esquina, in order to make a match between the beginning and a more advanced phase of the publications, in the “Opinião” and “Cartas na mesa” sessions, so that it was possible to compare the use of some words by the editorial board and by readers. With this analysis, we discussed the impacts of the newspaper on the social environment and on the Movement for Homosexual Liberation, showing how Lampião da Esquina's discursiveness is composed as a Discursive Event and forms a vocabulary of identity and resistance that promoted impacts in the struggle for LGBTQIAP+ rights.
