Marcas do fascismo nas traduções e tensionamentos da Semiosfera do Tribunal do Júri

Abstract

This paper seeks to understand how certain fascist characteristics, thought in a micropolitical level, permeate the interactions that occur among the various members of the Jury Court. For this, it describes the semiotic
interactions that constituted the Jury’s Court Semiosphere in three sessions of the Jury’s Court of Judicial District of Porto Alegre, in order to ascertain how these characteristics are translated and tensioned in the relations that are established between nucleus and periphery of this semiosphere. The paper is
based on the observational method of Antonio Carlos Gil as technical means of obtaining data, that resulted in a descriptive research, according to Cleber Cristiano Pradanov and Ernani Cesar de Freitas. The analysis is based on Semiotics of Culture concepts, mainly addressed by Iúri Lotman and Irene
Machado, concerning to the codifications being in several areas of culture. There are also references to reflections of Umberto Eco, on different types of fascism, and Roland Barthes, on political and fascist aspects of language. It also explores the relations between fascism and power based on Deleuze, Guattari, and Michel Foucault. The focus of the work is directed towards a reading of the translations and the tensions that occurred in those trials. It discusses the dynamics established among members of the Jury’s Court
focusing on the structurality of language, perceiving a strong power dispute that is manifested in the fascist characteristics that permeate those relations. It is noted that micropolitical actions against power are limited by semiosphere high codification and description level, which establish a practically insurmountable
border between nucleus and periphery. This reveals that micropolitical level tends to reproduce what is established macro politically.
