SUMMARY:

Through the research developed in the master's degree (PINHEIRO, 2021), we noticed that undergraduate students had difficulty in positioning themselves in relation to texts proposed in the classroom. From the results obtained in the research, we sought to investigate whether this problem also remained in graduate studies, in which the subject, in the position of researcher, needs to build an authorial text, in this case a master's dissertation. Thus, we sought to answer the question: how do researchers in training construct the theoretical chapters of their dissertations and how does this writing impacts their analyses and manifests the constitution of their authorship and singularity in academia? This research question is the basis of our general objective: To analyze how the theoretical chapters of dissertations in the field of Discourse Analysis are constructed and sustained, noting how this writing impacts their analyses and how researchers in training constitute themselves as authors of their texts and the nuances between the construction of a singular writing and plagiaristic writing. Through this goal, we also elaborated the specific objectives: (1) To understand how the already said permeate the writing of the theoretical chapters and if they indicate the construction of a plagiaristic writing; (2) to understand how the researchers in training constitute themselves as authors of their texts and how they mark their singularity in writing from the signs present in their theoretical chapters; (3) to analyze how the writing of the theoretical chapters contribute to the construction of authorship and singularity in the analytical chapters. Guided by these objectives, we analyzed the theoretical and analytical chapters of six dissertations, three from academic masters' programs in the field of Discourse Analysis (D1, D2, and D5) and three from the Professional Master's in Letters (PROFLETRAS) (D3, D4, and D6). We conducted these analyses based on Discourse Analysis, from interpretations of Pecheutian theory (PÊCHEUX, 2014a; 2014b; 1990a; 1990b), and with support from assumptions about authorship by Foucault (2009), Possenti (2002; 2013); the perspective of singularity by Riolfi (2011), of plagiarism with Schneider (1990), among others. From these theoretical lenses, we developed a qualitative research, with interpretativist bias (SILVA; ARAÚJO, 2017), through the indicative paradigm of Ginzburg (1989), that is, we analyzed the dissertations through the clues left by the texts about their relationships with the voice itself and with the mobilized theories. The analyses indicate us that the construction of the dissertations is situated between authorial erasure, in which the author's voice disappears to give way to the mobilized theorists - in which we highlight the categories of authorial erasure "Generalizations" (in some data added to the discussion about theoretical incongruities); "Expressions of authorial erasure"; "Grouted text, paraphrases and copies" (in some data accompanied by the highlight for the defense of theories); "Superficial analyses and defense of an opinion"; and the search for building something of their own, singular, by means of the interpretations given to the theories and the analyzed data - aspect analyzed in the category "Signs of authorship". These results point to an oscillation between the need to belong to the academy, reproducing its models and authors usually cited - and also the search for fulfilling the activity of writing in a fast (and bureaucratic) way - and the emergence of an authorial writing, which brings unique solutions to the research problems.
