A portuguese of "light conversations": discourse analysis, interdiscourse and memory through judicial processes

this article seeks to explore the possibilities of analyzing judicial processes through the semantic theory of Discourse Analysis, as well as memory as a theoretical methodological tool. For this, the concept of interdiscourse is used as a point of contact between the two theories, based on the definition by Eni Orlandi (2000) that speech is a language practice, and that it has a dimension of memory. In this way, the concepts of discursive memory (interdiscourse) and high-level memory are explored, according to Joel Candau (2012). In order to reflect on the proposal, a brief analysis of the trajectory of a Portuguese immigrant who arrives in Curitiba in 1878 and is accused of "alleged name crime" follows the debate.
