discursive formation; enunciation; body; subject
This research aims to investigate how the images of subjects entitled youtubers are discursively constituted, whose bodies are marked by tattoos and body piercing. It is characterized as an interpretative analytical study, whose corpus consists of videos that were posted by Internet users of the YouTube video platform between 2014 and 2018. Still dealing with the images that are investigated from this corpus, there was pay attention to the image of youtubers about the marked body and about the marking, in addition to the images of internet users about the markings and about the youtubers. As a support to contribute in an elucidative way with the general objective and also for specific objectives, the concepts from the French Discourse Analysis theory and the Enunciation will be used, these are, respectively: Imaginary Formations, Subjectivity in Language and Interdiscourse and Training Discursive. Sociological and anthropological studies will also be mobilized in order to understand the trajectory of body marking and assist in the analyzes that will be made. Both the theorists that were used for the study, and the justification for choosing specific videos for the corpus, are related to a thematic section that discusses the issue of extensive markings on the body; body markings in adolescents; body and job markings and markings and their relationship to health and pain. The unfolding of the research was only possible, since the assumptions for literature review derived from Benveniste (1976, 1989), Pêcheux (1995, 1997b) were based on the linguistic profile. In the field of Sociology and anthropology, theoretical contributions were made based on the considerations of Ferreira (2014), Hall (2000, 2006), Le Breton (2012, 2013
