Abstract

This paper intends to show the construction of ethos and identity of the main character of the short story “The lottery ticket,” by Anton Tchekhov, in addition to stress out the dialogue that the author establishes with the literary tradition that preceded his work. Through an interdisciplinary approach between discourse analysis, cultural studies, and literature, we propose a vision of literature with discursive characteristics and how the act of reading can be a component of enunciation. This paper’s theoretical references are focused on language philosophers such as Dominique Maingueneau, to analyze the question of literary discourse and discursive ethos, and Mikhail Bakhtin, to investigate dialogism; on the cultural aspect, we centered our research in the positions of Stuart Hall about the construction of identity.
