A poesia visual nos meios digitais: um estudo de caso dos aeropoemas de Clarice Freire na perspectiva bakhtiniana.

Abstract

In a context characterized by the propagation of digital social networks, we can observe spaces of interaction, where discursive genres from the literary domain circulate. Some of these genres were previously published in printed media and began to be published in virtual media. This is the case of Clarice Freire, a writer from Pernambuco who publishes visual poetry on her profile @claricefreire on Instagram. Among the visual poems posted by the writer, there are the Aeropoems, that articulate images and written elements related to the theme of airplanes to produce meanings. Given this scenario, this research is justified by the need to deepen reflections on the language practices that occur in digital media. In this sense, we have established as a general objective to analyze, from a Bakhtinian perspective, the verbal-visual and chronotopic dimension of Clarice Freire's Aeropoems on Instagram, and as specific objectives a) to describe the compositional construction of Clarice Freire's Aeropoems on Instagram; b) to discuss the relationship between the thematic content and the multisemiotic aspects used to construct the meanings of Clarice Freire's Aeropoems on Instagram; c) to investigate the contributions of the chronotope to the construction of the meanings of Aeropoems as visual poems published on Instagram; and d) to develop a concept of Aeropoem based on the thematic and compositional elements of the verbal-visual and chronotopic dimension of the visual poetry genre. To achieve these goals, we opted for a qualitative methodology (Paiva, 2019), of the case study type, based on Yin's (2015) postulations on the visual poetry published on the public profile @claricefreire on Instagram. The corpus selection was carried out based on objective criteria that led us to a total of twenty-three Aeropoems, published between 2019 and 2022. To analyze the selected corpus, we established categories based on the elements of the verbal-visual and chronotopic dimension of the Aeropoems. As a theoretical foundation, we based ourselves on the dialogic perspective of language and the conception of discursive genres of the Bakhtin Circle ([1979] 2016, [1929] 2021, [1975] 2014, and [1926] 1976), situating this dissertation within the scope of Textual Linguistics, with a socio-interactionist basis, based on the studies of Koch (2023), Koch and Elias (2016), Marcuschi (2008) and Cavalcante et al. (2019; 2023). Regarding the literary aspects, we sought support from Cândido ([1965] 2023), Moisés ([1982] 2024) and Goldstein (2006), as well as using Dencker's (2012) concept of visual poetry. We also used Santaella (2021; 2024) and Rojo and Barbosa (2020) to characterize digital media and the genres that circulate in these environments. As a result, we concluded that the thematic and compositional elements of the verbal-visual dimension of Aeropoems dialogue with each other to produce meanings in these visual poems that, when published on Instagram, are permeated by the chronotopic marks of the ubiquity that characterizes digital social networks.
