Abstract

 In this paper, we are concerned with the tension of a dialogical ontology with a structuralist episteme on the Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis model, the Social Theory of Discourse (1992; 2003). Our approach considers that, on the one hand, its origins in the Systemic Functional Grammar (HALLIDAY, 2004) maintain a "top-down" structuralist residuality, which remains in textual and linguistic analysis. However, on the other hand, we recognize that the Bakhtinian dialogism assumption (BAKHTIN, 1993; 1986) functions as a "bottom-up" dialogical eventicity that forms the ethical basis of the critical perspective. This methodological treatment of the relationship among events, practices and texts by their description and interpretation is what allows the transition from a static ethical agenda to an empowering ethical agenda. The real empowerment, embedded in the “critical purpose”, needs the consideration of the responsible and responsive integrality of the act (COSTA, 2013; 2012)
