Resumo: Prezado viajante, Este bilhete lhe dá direito a uma viagem pela estrada metodológica da Análise de Discurso Materialista para que você contemple o filme em DVD ?Central do Brasil?, de Walter Salles Jr. Você passará por três estações a partir da ausência do pai como principal metáfora articuladora dos trilhos narrativos, para que você veja o entrecruzamento entre dois caminhos: o discurso religioso e o discurso psicanalítico, na estruturação do funcionamento da falta metaforizada nessa ausência, movimentando o político no social. Inicialmente você verá os mapas da viagem, circunscritos na perspectiva materialista de Análise de Discurso: a apresentação do corpus, e a indicação dos principais conceitos nele operacionalizados. Em seguida a viagem se dará em três ?estações? através do batimento sinuoso entre descrição e interpretação: na primeira estação se dá a descrição da estrutura organizacional da superfície linguageira em suas condições de produção e circulação, e a formulação narrativa da falta, lhe direcionando para o deslocamento desta em objetos discursivos. Na estação seguinte você se deterá na observação dessa falta nos dois significantes representados como sujeitos: Dora e Josué. Vendo isso, você estará apto para a próxima estação: a inscrição da falta em metáforas e metonímias discursivas: nas imagens de Santa Maria e de Jesus Cristo, em relação a Dora e a Josué, no pai e nas cartas, e noutros objetos cênicos, como um pião e um lenço, objetos discursivos visibilizados nos planos como unidades de significação pela fragmentação da montagem do filme. Esperamos que você perceba que o Cristianismo intervém na superfície textual e discursiva, como também a Psicanálise, no tratamento dado às constelações familiares, à Metáfora Paterna, à lettre lacaniana (carta, letra, significante) e às projeções entre Dora e Josué. Não se assuste: há um embate do sujeito com o Real, em derivas e deslocamentos em torno de posições de sujeito. Entenda conosco quais processos discursivos estão em jogo nessa viagem, tomando a falta como um gesto estruturante do político nas relações sociais. Na chegada possível, você verá que os sentidos são possíveis pela relação e determinação entre o Real da história, o Real da linguagem e o Real do inconsciente, de forma que as condições sócio-históricas são constitutivas das significações do texto. Agradecemos sua preferência. Boa viagem
Abstract: This work assumes the Materialist Discourse Analysis methodology to analyze the DVD movie "Central Station", by Walter Salles Jr. Taking into consideration that the father's absence is the main metaphor that articulates the narrative surface, the intention was to understand this absence in the intersection between religious discourse and psychoanalytic discourse, asking about the politics in social relations. The introduction circumscribes the materialist perspective of Discourse Analysis, and presents the corpus, and the main concepts employed into it. The following chapters are formulated as "stations" around the stages of analysis: on the first step the language's organizational structure surface is described under certain conditions of production and circulation, the narrative design of the ?lack? and its displacement as discoursive objects. Observing the treatments in the screenplay, it was noticed the inscription of the sense effects on the names of biblical characters (Joshua, Jesus, Moses, Isaiah, Hannah, Pedrão - Big Peter), references to images of St. Mary and Jesus Christ - stage props noticed as units of meaning in the fragmentation of the shots of film edition. Psychoanalysis derives from the treatment given to family constellations, to the Paternal Metaphor, to the lacanian letter and to the projections between Dora and Joshua. From the crossing between description and interpretation, it was intended to give evidence to the clash between the subject and the Real, drifts and shifts in the subject positions. The last step of the analysis examines the discursive processes, which make the ?lack? a structuring gesture of the politics in social relations. The audiovisual, object of aesthetic completion and an important commodity in the contemporary world, acts as a massive investment in the subject, determining, renewing and contradicting the circulation of capital, and the effects of the spectacle's ideology, imposed by the logic of the market. The [meanings] senses are possible through the relation and the determination between the Real from the History, the Real from the language and the Real from the unconscious, so that the socio-historical conditions constitutes the meanings of the text
