A CONCEP O DE AUTOR (LOCUTOR) DO "CíRCULO BAKHTIN, MEDVEDEV, VOLOSHINOV": CONFRONTOS E DEFINI ES

This paper, which retrieves some earlier writings of its author, aims to explore some elements relative to the constitutive centrality of the interlocutors' discursive image in the production of sense, approaching with this purpose the concept of authorship according to the conception of language and discourse of the " BAKHTIN, MEDVEDEV, VOLOSHINOV CIRCLE " (beyond false questions of authorship), a perspective whereby life and language intertwine: the act, the process of language exchange, along with statements/speeches, these latter understood not as products coming from ex nihilo, are the object of study and the center of the Circle’s theoretical and practical works. This paper also discusses the notion of ethos, in the perspective of Maingueneau and Amossy as well as the concept of author in Michael Foucault, so as to explore the specificity of the Circle's proposal and identity possible points of contact and divergence between these points of view.
