Resumo
This paper aimed at addressing the discursive representation of Chinese migrants, according to the perspective conveyed in narratives enunciated by Chinese migrants themselves and by Brazilians on Chinese migrants. For that, theoretical foundation on narrative analysis (LABOV; WALETSKY, 1997[1967]; LABOV, 1972), immigrant discourse (PASTOR; DE FINA, 2005) and critical perspective of Orientalism (SAID, 2003[1978]) was used. For the analysis, three narratives of interviews conducted during a PhD research were selected, enunciated by two Brazilians and one Chinese, all language teachers and living in Brazil at the time. The narratives were assessed based on a proposed macrodiscursive and microdiscursive analysis model of narratives derived from the discussion by Pastor and De Fina (2005). As a result, it was observed that identity perspectives enunciated by both Chinese and Brazilians are mostly arising from reflected and refracted discourse based on ingrained culture simulacrum, that is, stigmatized discourse on the Chinese population. Although the complexity inherent to linguistic interaction, particularly regarding intercultural entanglements, were not exhaustively discussed, it is hoped that this work may contribute to broaden understandings on identity aspects of intercultural nature.
