Self-reference in the literary text: through a semiological-enunciative analysis of Orgia: Os diaries de Tulio Carella

Tulio Carella. Daily. Linguistics. Literature. Self-reference.

We seek to bring Linguistics closer to Literature through the analysis of the literary work Os Diários de Tulio Carella (2010) with Benveniste's Theory of enunciation as its scope. Therefore, in the first part we discuss based on the Theory of enunciation. Each text by Benveniste has the purpose and fulfills a social function and we seek to characterize a theory of language in Benveniste through the triad of man, language and culture, as this triad enables and mobilizes analyzes in language. In the second part, we see that literature manifests itself as language and Benveniste establishes a possibility of thinking beyond Saussurian writing and, in this way, problematizes language based on literature. In the third part, we seek to understand the eight chapters of Carella's diary through Benvenist's theory of enunciation and Tulio's diaries. Therefore, the subject of the enunciation circulates in the category of the foreigner as a strange category that was not a literary fiction, on the contrary, it came from the experience itself for literary fiction. We see a tangle of Literature and Linguistics when scrutinizing the self-referential elements of the text. Finally, in the last part, we address the self-referential elements in this literary text, we take into account that the narrator assumes the first person and thus acquires a new perspective, and sometimes the narrator's stream of consciousness is interrupted with the third person to intensify the narrator’s distance from the scene. This intriguing fact will guide the debate developed here.
