The research group aims to reflect upon how language relates to subjectivity. It focuses on discourse mechanisms that have historically produced subjectivity. It builds on the notion of singularity to understand the utterance-speaker relationship as well as the emergence of new forms of discourse. It is intended to investigate education and teaching practice in the classroom, as well as (non)marginalized spaces of speaking and writing. Its research builds on the assumption that singularity is one of the dimensions of the individual’s constitution process; its presence or absence is part of the processes that define the individual’s stand. Thus, the research group addresses discourse circulation in society as integrated to the very process of subjectivity constitution. It gives special attention to the functioning of discourse mechanisms as the material basis for analyzing subjectivity in different corpora. It describes and analyzes linguistic threads, syntactic constructions, and semantic structures in terms of the effects they produce and the processes of subjectivation. Eventually it aims to contribute to a reflection upon discourse in its constitutive relationship with subjectivity in the different social practices in the Brazilian society.
