RESUMO

The present research investigates the discourse of newly graduates from the public university. It also considers some current discourses about the processes of qualification and professional placement, in order to delineate the state of new orders of subjectivity in contemporary world. According to Foucault’s perspective, which conceives the discourse as an act of production and legitimacy of subjects and social practices, and grounded on institutional analysis’s concepts, this research intends to make explicit, in the newly-graduate speeches, the relationship established between these actors, their formation and professional universe, besides outlining the effects of subjectivity contained in their speech: concerning themselves, their graduation and work histories, their expectations and life projects. To attain our goal, were interviewed 17 graduates from 8 different courses, completed in a time period ranging from 2 months to 2 years. The three different steps of the analytical process showed 5 central thematic categories. Attention was paid to the regularities and singularities concerning theme apprehension, to the attribution games and the assumption of subjective places, to relations established between institutional practices, within them and these actors, and to the effects of acknowledgement and unacknowledgement in their speech. This analysis has allowed the outlining of a subject that gives support to the institutional discourse, and that also constitutes himself as a singular psychological subject. This corroborates the hypotheses, based on the methodological assumptions of the research, that subjectivity is produced in the constant tension between the subduing in the discursive institutional order, and the resistance into this same order. And that, even under this subduing, a singularity in speech is possible. It could also be noticed how the continuous arrangement of subjective places – recognized or shown – is produced on the expectations that emerge in their relationship with the agents of professional qualification and placement. And how, side by side with the so-called gaps established through the discourses that relate these practices, relations of continuity are revealed. Moreover, we have also verified how these newly graduates, in the same interview scene, have not only reacted to the institutional discourses about professional qualification and placement, but, in effect, have also established them, sometimes legitimating them, sometimes subverting them. Thus, we have identified some resistance vectors to the images usually attributed to the newly graduate condition – such as, the affirmation of oneself as someone who makes himself visible. The ways through which such visibility was configured in the enunciative scenes allowed the inclusion of another perspective of analysis: that of the characters revealed in the newly graduates’ discourse (namely, the as if, the oppositioner and the athlete).
