Análise discursiva da escrita de alunos do curso de Medicina: (RE) produção de conhecimento, saber, poder

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the processes and products of the writing of students of Medicine, from teaching practices in disciplines, to investigate if and under what conditions their texts acquire the status of knowledge production on the object of writing. The question that we propose to answer is: Do the productions written by students of Medicine courses, made from teaching practices, acquire the status of knowledge? The methodological path chosen for this was the qualitative-indexical research, which allowed us to cut data in the student’s texts, that led us to interpretations associated with human experience, to the interaction of the underlying subjects in the discursive materiality. Bakhtin and Círculo (1929/2017, 1979/2011, 1993), whose concepts of enunciation, theme, meaning, compositional construction of the genres, discourse quoted, guided our view of the way students organize the enunciated within their texts considering the conditions of production and, moreover, construct a responsive understanding in this verbal interaction, two other Bakhtinian concepts. Foucault’s thoughts on control of social institutions under the discourse, on the knowledge-power relations constitutive of medicine as a science, on discourse, subject, also subsidized this analysis. The analysis of the data, under the light of these theoretical anchorages, allowed us to understand that the coercion exerted by the mechanisms of political-economic-social power determine the student’s discourses, that the process of acquisition and production of knowledge is marked by the historical moment in which is inserted and that medical knowledge built throughout history is still present in current medical practice.
