Resumo
Por trás de um discurso, existe sempre outro discurso. Esta é uma afirmação que podemos empregar também às imagens, haja vista sua capacidade enunciativa. Assim como qualquer outra forma de discurso, elas estão atreladas a outras que as precedem, conectadas em uma imensa rede de memórias que compõem a memória coletiva. Isto posto, podemos afirmar que uma imagem pode nos evocar outra e com isso nos trazer a sensação de déjà-vu. Tomando como regularidade o sintagma nominal Holocausto da Amazônia atrelado a uma série de imagens de destruição que circularam em diferentes jornais durante o ano de 2019, extraímos um conjunto de sequências discursivas que, vinculadas a fotografias de queimadas, possibilitam uma análise do atravessamento do discurso bélico no discurso ambiental. Essa análise nos incita a pensar nas imagens e termos utilizados para noticiar as queimadas a partir desse atravessamento que ressignifica a floresta de “pulmão do mundo” para “cenário de guerra e destruição”. As imagens, em especial, nos reenviam a tantas outras imagens de guerra ao longo da história, revelando seu caráter intericônico. Nesta investigação, descrevemos o funcionamento do discurso bélico na memória coletiva, observando o efeito mnemônico de tal discurso na construção de uma memória discursiva preponderantemente bélica e, para tal, mobilizamos o conceito de intericonicidade e sua relação com a memória discursiva. Para averiguarmos esta relação interdiscursiva em que o discurso bélico emerge no discurso ambiental, este trabalho fundamenta-se principalmente nos conceitos de intericonicidade proposto por Jean Jaques Courtine. Visando compreender como as memórias interna e coletiva entrecruzam-se, recorremos ainda aos estudos de Maurice Halbwachs e, por fim, ao conceito do paradigma indiciário proposto por Carlo Ginzburg.
Behind a discourse, there is always another discourse. This is a statement that we can also apply to images, given their enunciative capacity. As with any other form of discourse, they are linked to others that precede them, connected in an immense network of memories that make up the collective imagination. That said, we can say that one image can evoke another image and with it bring us the sensation of déjà vu. Taking as regularity the nominal phrase Amazonian Holocaust linked to a series of images of destruction that circulated in different newspapers during 2019, we extracted a set of discursive sequences that, linked to photographs of fires, enable an analysis of the crossing of the military discourse in the environmental discourse. This analysis encourages us to think about the images and terms used to report the fires from this crossing of the military discourse that re-signifies the forest from the “lung of the world” to a “scenario of war and destruction”. The images, in particular, send us back to so many other images of war throughout history, revealing their intericonic character. In this investigation, we describe the functioning of warlike discourse in collective memory, observing the mnemonic effect of such discourse in the construction of a predominantly warlike discursive memory and, for that, we mobilize the concept of intericonicity (COURTINE, 2013) and its relationship with discursive memory . In order to investigate this interdiscursive relationship in which the military discourse emerges in the environmental discourse, this work is mainly based on the concepts of intericonicity proposed by Jean Jaques Courtine. Aiming to understand how internal and collective memories intertwine, we also resorted to studies by Maurice Halbwachs and, finally, to the concept of the evidential paradigm proposed by Carlo Ginzburg.
