Abstract

The samba song Extra! Extra! A Vale Samba apresenta. ‘Evolução, revolução... O fantástico mundo da comunicação’ of the 2012 Carnival is analyzed. The song, prepared by the Vale Samba carnival band of Joaçaba, a mid-western town of the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil, is investigated specifically by the scenography concept and discursive ethos foregrounded on the theory by Dominique Maingueneau (1997, 2006, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c, 2010, 2011a, 2011b). Research is methodologically characterized as exploratory and descriptive. The reading and analysis of its corpus, through the enunciation point of view, reveal that the Samba song does not only present a specific compositional structure, but it is also characterized by ambivalence due to specific semes of the carnival scene in its syntagmatization.
