THE TEXT AND ITS PRODUCTION PROCESS

Abstract

It is a well-known fact that texts do not exist out of their supports, be them, papyrus, a parchment manuscript, a sheet of paper, a computer screen, which are made up of several elements in their production. In the materiality of written texts, one observes different forms of language inscriptions allowing for the building of a diversity of meanings. With the aim of putting into evidence the states of a text and the elements of which it is made, we take from the perspective of Textual Philology one of the Poemas do mar by the Bahian poet Arthur de Salles, in order to show, in practice, the importance of understanding the process of production, as of textual modifications.
