This dissertation consists of a discourse analysis of the labor world in the novel Jorge, um brasileiro, by Oswaldo França Junior, published in 1967. This research is theoretically founded - for the field of language and literature – on the concepts of Mikhail Bakhtin and the Circle, which enables the perception of certain artistic and compositional peculiarities in the novel structure from the dialogic matrix as a constitutive principle of all discourse. This research builds on the reflections on the labor world by thinkers who contributed to a more critical look at this issue such as Marx and Engels, Lukacs, Gorz, Marcuse and Antunes. This theoretical foundation is an excerpt of the framework of thinkers who are studied in the research project "The discursive formalization of the labor and technology spheres in Brazilian literary texts", Graduate Technology Program from the UTFPR, which this dissertation isconnected to. The discourses on labor are investigated considering the dichotomy between two ambivalent enunciation plans in the novel: the capitalist society, where the worker exploitation prevails, and the collective and socialized work, which creates a subtle symbolic universe in which labor and social relations can carry more human meanings. The foreground points to a certain fatalism in the journey of the worker who sells his workforce in the market society and, despite his strive, fails to disrupt social hierarchy or attain a more emancipated life. The background is taken symbolically as an area of resistance to today's production model, and presents an architecture endowed with some positivity through joint work in interaction with nature and through common leisure and mutual assistance moments among the nine truck drivers in the journey through inland Minas Gerais. Here, work is a socialization factor, which strongly criticizes the capitalist society where everything works according to the logics of an economic rationality.
