REMARKS ABOUT A POSSIBLE THEORY OF DISCURSIVE REVASCULARIZATION

ABSTRACT

In this text, based on the work of Gayatri C. Spivak (1988 [1985]) about the possibility for subordinate subjects to speak and be heard and in Marie-Anne Paveau (2019a, 2019b, 2020) regarding the theory of discursive resignification, we seek to propose the category of discursive revascularization. In the light of this discursive category, whose first term comes initially from medicine, we analyze a small set of discursive practices engendered by subjects in a social vulnerability situation, who, from a discursive obstruction, of a problem, create, in their social networks, alternative paths for to solve/desobstruct their problems. The data are not very numerous, but the discussion undertaken from these data shows us a pertinent and relevant path for this category to help us reflect on the possibility of intervening and contributing to the construction of a more decent society (MARGALIT, 1996).
