SUMMARY:

In this thesis, we adopt a discursive perspective in the analysis of i) semi-structured interviews with three independent-women-editors: Constanza Brunet (Argentina), Isabelle Pivert (France) and Ivana Jinkings (Brazil) and ii) three editorial catalogs of the publishing houses Marea Editorial (Argentina), Éditions du Sextant (France) and Boitempo Editorial (Brazil). The unfolding of this thesis comes from the following question: what do these independent-women-editors project about themselves, in the private/public sense, through their sayings and their editorial catalog? We believe, a priori, that catalogs are one of the facets, an “editing of the self”, through an institutional ethos, of “extimacy” (self-validation), of what independent-women-editors edit about themselves through their life narratives, their biographemes. The objective of this thesis is to identify, through semi-structured interviews and the editorial catalog, how this “editing of the self” appears in a discursive and editorial perspective. Discursive, considering the enunciative marks of biographemes, heterogeneity, subjectivity, ethos, “extimacy” and discursive memory. Editorial, by analyzing their catalogues. In this way, we relate semi-structured interviews and editorial catalogs to this “editing of the self”. In the movement of choice and justification for the corpus of this research, permeated by the parameter of interculturality, we established the criterion of being “independent-women-editors”, creators of their own publishing houses and with a progressive political theme in their endeavors. Our corpora were built from attempts to no longer make these women invisible in the editorial scenario and to focus even more on what they can say from a discursive and editorial perspective. Further, we used semi-structured interviews as a decolonial gesture, mainly to rethink other demands in a discursive perspective, with a view to encompassing its multiple subjects and rethinking contemporary urgencies. We believe that the syntagma “editing of the self” accompanies this incompleteness in various discursive and, above all, editorial senses, since there is no finished catalog, but attempts to have a path and books to be made, of constant and unfinished editions – both of the self and the publishing house. In this “personification” among projections, this “editing of the self” is an “umbrella” concept to anchor a process that shows an incompleteness of the being and of the institution. Describing and analyzing the catalog as a discursive narrative is one of the ways of narrating about this “editing of the self” as a place for make signification and evaluation of the self. Despite the contradictions, ambiguities, ambivalences, and dichotomies belonging to the editorial field, “editing” is a tool of resistance, “editing the self”, “editing the world” are powers to re-exist. Editing books, mainly in an independent decolonial perspective, as a place to reach, means enabling the extension of memory, imagination, means proposing bibliodiversity to a society.
