THE DISCOURSE OF INTERNATIONALIZATION THROUGH THE CLASS EVENT

Abstract

Internationalization is a global movement that has occupied various spaces in the
contemporary world. One of them is the university, specifically undergraduate and
postgraduate courses. At the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Francisco
Beltrão campus (UTFPR-FB) was no different, with the insertion of international
student mobility, double diploma, among others, the Computer Science Degree
course was also interested in the opportunity to attend part of the program abroad
and thus developed a class- event with the discipline of Linguistic Communication.
To develop this research we sought in Michel Foucault the theoretical foundation
and analyzed the subject position of we analyzed the subject position of two speakers
involved in the so-called class-event. As a result, we verified that one of the speakers
assumed the position of academic subject during most of his speech, which
demonstrates that in his experience he experienced the university relationship more,
while the other analyzed speaker was divided in his subject function, sometimes
positioned himself as an academic, for others he took on the professional role of
environmental engineer who would receive a job opportunity in Europe.
