Abstract

In contemporary times, YouTube becomes a material support for the production of statements, such as those from the channel Histórias de ter.a.pia. The result of this construction appears in the form of self-narratives, which led to the objective of this article: to analyze how the subject living with HIV narrates their liminal experience in discursive practices on ter.a.pia. In this context, we proposed the following issue: how does the body of the subject living with HIV manifest their relationships of knowledge-power intertwined in the self-narrative as a practice of agonistic freedom? The investigative journey indicated that the production of statements is not limited to social issues but also concerns a subject who governs themselves, that is, one who assumes power over their own body and produces power-knowledge relations.

Ismara Eliane Vidal de Souza Tasso, State University of Maringá (UEM)

She holds a Ph.D. in Linguistics and Portuguese Language from the Faculty of Sciences and Letters of Araraquara (2003), with postdoctoral research at IEL-Unicamp (2012-2013); a Master's in Communication and Semiotics from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (1997); and a Bachelor's in Letters from the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Jandaia do Sul (1975). She conducts research in the field of Linguistic Studies on discursive functioning in imagistic and linguistic materialities, inscribed in social and political contexts, where intersections related to the body, language, history, memory, and technologies are established, under the theoretical assumptions of Discourse Analysis, especially based on Foucauldian Discursive Studies; Peircean Semiotics; and Linguistics. Within this scope and through these dispositifs, she seeks to apprehend, understand, and elucidate processes of subjectivation, objectivation, and governmentality of marginalized and minority populations. Her research trajectory focuses on enunciative series whose conditions of existence address: identities; inclusion/exclusion; cultural and ethnic diversity; discursive and reading practices of different materialities; Portuguese as an additional/foreign language; image and/as discourse. At UEM, she leads the Research Group (CNPq) GEDUEM - Discourse Analysis Studies Group of UEM and is a member of the Research Group (CNPq) GEF - Foucauldian Studies Group of UEM.
