Caliban e a fundação da linguagem: uma leitura de A Tempestade

Abstract

Study on imperative forms of language rationalized by the realm of speech of power, phonemic matter that stands on an alibi of necessities shaped by ideology. Sometimes it goes further to a symbolic foundation of language as a gift, which establishes a tension between two opposites worlds under an orientation of the logic of equivalencies of transmission of someone else’s values. This study intends to verify the rescue of the myth of language as a heritage in the play The Tempest of Shakespeare, to make explicit the relationship within economic matters, which goes trough it, or even that frontier of language expressed in the play, as well as the transpositions of the language worked out. Conditions of changes announced by the mechanisms that characterize the modern times of maritime navigations, that pervade past and present to the present modes of economic production and accumulation.
