RAFAEL BRAGA CAMPAIGN FOR FREEDOM: ALLIED BODIES AND THE PRODUCTION OF EPISTEMIC COMMUNITIES IN RESPONSE TO ANTINEGRITUDE

ABSTRACT In this paper our aim is to deepen the discussion on discursive aspects of Rafael Braga's case, especially around the Campaign for Rafael Braga's Freedom. Taking Rancière's political philosophy alongside Kress and van Leeuwen's multimodality studies and the structural perspective of racism in Brazil, we look at the speeches of members of the Campaign for Rafael Braga's Freedom and other actors around the theme, and for multimodal artifacts produced in this context of collective mobilization. Without intending to carry out a critical discourse analysis, we assume the task of conducting a discourse criticism. Linguistics in this paper is not taken as analytical categories, but we understand and emphasize the relevance of language and discourse for the scenes of disagreement that the Rafael Braga's case of the Campaign for his freedom engender. For this, we use part of the ethnography that we have been developing over the past six years.

摘要：本研究旨在深化拉斐尔·布拉加（Rafael Braga）事件的话语维度研讨，尤其围绕“拉斐尔·布拉加自由运动（Campaign for Rafael Braga's Freedom）”展开。本研究结合朗西埃（Rancière）的政治哲学、克雷斯（Kress）与范·利乌文（van Leeuwen）的多模态研究，以及巴西种族主义的结构视角，分析了该运动成员及其他相关行动主体围绕该主题的发言，同时考察了这场集体动员语境下产生的多模态符号制品（multimodal artifacts）。本研究无意开展批判话语分析（critical discourse analysis），而是旨在进行话语批评实践。本文未将语言学作为分析范畴，但我们认识并强调，语言与话语对于拉斐尔·布拉加事件及其自由运动所催生的分歧场域而言，具有重要意义。为此，我们采用了过去六年中持续开展的民族志（ethnography）研究的部分素材。
