Abstract

The functioning of the designation and one of its produced effects – called

‘dicionarização’ effect - are investigated, in this paper, through a discursive mode of

understanding. We addressed the documentary Falcão – Meninos do Tráfico in order to understand

how are focused, on the video, the ones who according to law (ECA) cannot / should not show

his face, but show the whole body, are shown in / through languages. And this being shown

in/through languages is what worries us the most and that can be made explicit discursively

through modes of signifying. We noticed that the gesture of designating explicits more than one

subject-position: one inside and one outside of drug traffic, while the ‘dicionarização’effect at the

same time that resignifies some stabilized senses in Portuguese dictionaries, stabilizes others.

Indeed, there is a game of destabilization / stabilization of meanings and discursive positions.
