Using a discursive approach of referentiation based on Foucault (1968, 1987, 2007, 2008), this study aims at carrying out a linguistic analysis of versions of the tale Little Red Riding Hood written in different periods of history. The purpose is to demonstrate how much the field of knowledge and the mechanisms of power form objects of discourse and define the linguistic materialization at a given time. The bibliographical investigation allowed conceptualizing referentiation based on Foucault’s concept of discourse, as well as his archeological and genealogical methods. The categories obtained in this bibliographical research (adopted in the methodology proposed by Fiorin, 2006) allowed analyzing the tales after their contextualization and classification taking their production and propagation conditions into account, as well as their institutional and historical discursive aspect. After analyzing each version, the results were contraposed, which permitted understanding the way through which the discursive referentiation was effectuated in the Middle Ages, Classic period, and Modernity. The analysis was based on the theme “fear”, which allowed investigating the terms of semantic opposition, fundamental syntactic, figurative, and thematic courses founded on current knowledge and power. At the same time, based on this analysis, the study presents the process through which the discourse, in its historical and material aspect, protects the same controlling procedure (the will to truth) that defines the truths, that traces the feasible of knowledge and power, that establishes the objects that may or may not be formed, and that sets both the referentiation of a given period of time and its materialization in the textual signifiers. The results also pointed to the need of questioning the “will to truth” so that we can better understand modern knowledge and perhaps glimpse at a harbinger of a new free paradigm: the fear which the discourse imposes, the knowledge and power traced by the “will to truth”, and the materialization of these linguistic signifiers that rule and define man. This study aims at opening the way to a more in depth analysis of the referentiation mechanism, and even to possibly question "the will to truth".
