Organização retórica do resumo acadêmico gráfico: um gênero acadêmico multimodal

2017 
Resumo: Este artigo relata a investigacao do resumo academico grafico (RAG), pratica discursiva multimodal tipica de certas areas do contexto academico. Metodologicamente, empregou-se a Analise Critica de Genero (MEURER, 2002; BHATIA, 2004; MOTTA-ROTH, 2006, 2008) a fim de analisar as caracteristicas textuais e contextuais de 40 RAGs de Quimica e de Biologia e descrever sua organizacao retorica prototipica. Para a analise textual, efetuaram-se: i) identificacao, descricao e categorizacao dos significados dos modos semioticos verbal e visual (HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004; KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2006); e ii) identificacao de padroes retoricos recorrentes (SWALES, 1990). Para a analise contextual realizaram-se: i) entrevistas com pesquisadores das areas investigadas; e ii) analise documental. Os resultados evidenciam que, embora o RAG apresente movimentos retoricos tipicos de outros generos academicos, e um novo genero, que coloca em proeminencia o modo semiotico visual. Essa caracteristica o diferencia do resumo academico, pois potencializa o multiproposito comunicativo de atrair o leitor e sintetizar a pesquisa reportada em um artigo. Isso responde a recorrente necessidade da comunidade cientifica de otimizar o tempo de busca e de selecao de artigos academicos para leitura e, especialmente, de destacar e otimizar a divulgacao dos resultados da pesquisa cientifica. Este trabalho defende que o estudo critico e multimodal de RAGs possibilita interpretar os novos discursos disponiveis no contexto academico, auxiliando na proposicao de meios pedagogicos em prol dos multiletramentos (THE NEW LONDON GROUP, 1996). Palavras-chave: resumo academico grafico; Analise Critica de Genero; organizacao retorica. Abstract: This paper reports an investigation about academic graphical abstract (AGA), typical multimodal discursive practice from certain areas of academic context. Methodologically, we employed the Genre Critical Analysis (MEURER, 2002; BHATIA, 2004; MOTTA-ROTH, 2006, 2008) to investigate the textual and contextual features of forty AGAs from Chemistry and Biology, and to describe its rhetoric prototypical organization. For textual analysis, we performed: i) identification, description and categorization of the meanings from verbal and visual semiotic modes (HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004; KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2006); and ii) identification of recurrent rhetorical patterns (SWALES, 1990). For contextual analysis, we performed: i) interviews with researchers of the investigated areas; and ii) documental analysis. Our results showed that although the RAG presents typical rhetorical movements similar to other academic genres, it is a new genre that puts prominence on the visual semiotic mode. This feature differentiates AGA from academic abstracts, mainly because it enhances the multipurpose of attracting the reader and summarizing the research reported in an article. This ensures the recurring need of scientific community to save time during the search and selection of academic articles and optimize the dissemination of scientific research results. We believe that the critical and multimodal study of AGAs enables us to interpret new discourses nowadays available in the academic context, supporting teach methodologies in favor of multiliteracies (THE NEW LONDON GROUP, 1996). Keywords: academic graphical abstract; Genre Critical Analysis; rhetorical organization.
