RESUMO

This text aims at the discursive study of six Files for the Registration of Correspondence from the Escola Complementar e Grupo Escolar de Itapetininga (Complementary and Publica School at Itapetininga). The Files contain 648 letters written by a writer contracted by the school in the period of 1905 to 1911. Starting from a study of the possible circulation of the Files and the contents of the correspondence, we established four major subjects: communication, requests, delivery and reception of documents. We constituted a corpus of 36 letters. The turning point of the work is the relation between the seemingly stability of the written language registered in the Livros de Registro da Correspondência and the possible aspects of instability as a consequence of the chances of regime from Empire to Republic in Brazil in the end of the XIXth century and beginning of the XXth century, same period as the creation of the school where the Files were found. The theoretical point of view is related to the notions of locutor (BENVENISTE, 1974/1989), interlocutor (BAKHTIN, 1979/2003), others (BAKHTIN, 1929/1988), discourse genre (BAKHTIN 1979/2003), immediate verbal context and extraverbal context (BAKHTIN/VOLOCHINOV (1926/2000). The analysis of the material was done in three stages: 1) the observation of the language forms (BAKHTIN/VOLOCHINOV (1926/2000) working in relation to person, space and time in the texts; 2) the observation of the organization of the forms of the language working as a discourse genre (BAKHTIN 1979/2003) named Livro de Registro da Correspondência; and 3) the interference of the extraverbal context in the forms of the language. We noticed that the locutor constitutes itself in a stable environment, organized under the theme of order which stabilizes and organizes the forms of language. But, an exterior reality, less stable, imposes itself in the reality of the language. We reached the conclusion that the Livros Registros da Correspondência are a way of dialogue (BAKHTIN/VOLOCHINOV, 1929/1988) of the direction of the school. The value of order in circulation in the Files stabilizes the writing, but this value is only a wish of the locutor in relation to the interlocutors. A wish to come (BAKHTIN/VOLOCHINOV (1926/2000), opposing itself to the value of disorder circulating in the reality during the beginning of the Republican regime in Brazil.
