A VOZ DISCURSIVA IRÔNICA EM VIVA O POVO BRASILEIRO, DE JOÃO UBALDO RIBEIRO

Abstract

Viva o povo brasileiro, work of 1984, by João Ubaldo Ribeiro, is the source of study to approach the ironic discourse that begins soon in the title. Language acclaims the people as a hero throughout the narrative. In almost four centuries of clashes, the speech emphasizes the characteristics of the characters, brings their nuances of colors and the mixture of languages. The time and the place are organized to mock the own historical episodes, they allow us to read what is not said, but possible to be seen between the lines. The theoretical foundation passes through Barthes, Bhabba, Bernd, Fanon, Brait, Ducrot, Machado and other authors. The methodology adopted consisted of bibliographical readings, searching for the relation between the constitutive elements of the work mainly on the war and the irony permeated by the hybrid content that color the narrated events. Continuously, the act of warfare is an object that moves the lives of the characters. Thus the composition of narrative text reveals its blend of hybridized worlds and stories.
