SUMMARY:
The image of women constructed through religious discourse finds in the character of Mary a series of biblical accounts interpreted by Tradition and the Magisterium of the Church, forming various discursive representations. Therefore, this master's thesis investigates how these representations are constructed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The choice of this research subject was motivated by the historical, literary, and cultural relevance surrounding the character of Mary, as well as by its contribution to Textual Linguistics, considering the need to describe linguistic phenomena in religious discourse. Three questions guide the research: 1) What representations of Mary have been constructed through the Catechism of the Catholic Church?; 2) Which linguistic features reveal the construction of Mary's discursive representations in the context of sacred texts through references in the Catechism of the Catholic Church?; 3) What semantic procedures for constructing representations of Mary's figure are used in the Catechism of the Catholic Church? To address these questions, the general objective is to analyze how the discursive representations of women are constructed in religious discourse, starting from the analysis of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The specific objectives are to identify, describe, analyze, and interpret: 1) How Mary's discursive representations are constructed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 2) The linguistic features that reveal the construction of Mary's discursive representations through the references in the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 3) The semantic procedures for constructing Mary's discursive representations. The study proposes an analysis of religious discourse, based on the approach of Textual Discourse Analysis by Adam (2010, 2011, 2021, 2022, 2023), focusing on the notion of discursive representation and its semantic analysis categories. The corpus of this research consists of excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church previously selected. The methodology falls within a qualitative approach and was established by identifying paragraphs of the Catechism of the Catholic Church that directly or indirectly mention Mary, describing the statements that compose them according to the categories of semantic operations of reference, predication, and modification. For this, a framework was developed to perform a microtextual analysis of the corpus to identify, characterize, and quantify occurrences about Mary in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This analysis identified over two hundred mentions of Mary's names and titles, also noting various nuances of intertextuality – explicit or inferred – present in the paragraphs. The initial results indicate that this discursive representation is constructed around several axes based on semantic operations. Among these axes, the axis of motherhood, purity, and the model of Christian life stand out, among others.
