This essay aims at describing the process carried out during the master's thesis in the Postgraduate Program in Languages, in the area of Language Studies, with the French Discourse Analysis approach, whose pillars are Dominique Maingueneau and Michel Foucault. However, here, the method of cartography will be presented based on a Deleuzian perspective, having as main theoretical support the book Pistas do Método da Cartografia: pesquisa-intervenção e produção de subjetividade. The result is the possibility of narratively intertwining theory and practice, presenting the power of this method in areas of science beyond psychology. The master's research was based on the law proposal PL 867/2015 analysis, a result of the movement Escola Sem Partido [Nonpartisan School], through the construction of a discursive network, composed of related law proposals, in addition to PL 14111/2015, which typifies the so-called crime of "ideological harassment" in the classroom.

In recent decades quantitative studies have documented an increase in paternal involvement. These changes have led to hypotheses of a new model of fatherhood. The aim of this paper is to explore the discourses of Spanish fathers regarding paternal involvement, identifying its structure and changing tendencies. The analysis is based on eight focus groups conducted in Madrid and Barcelona. Among the main findings we emphasize that the transition of fatherhood, not without contradictions, is causing the traditional homogeneous fatherhood to evolve toward a more complex and multidimensional conceptualization.

The article analyses and compares the thinking on citizen participation of elected and non-elected officials, as well as social activists of the Spanish cities of Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastián and Lleida. The research is based on Q methodology, whose combination of quantitative and qualitative elements can generate systematic, rigorous and quantifiable evidence, without sacrificing the complexity and richness of language. The results reveal three distinct perspectives on participation (integral, regenerative and distrustful), that differ notably in their appreciation of political institutions and social organizations. However, results also point to the existence of a core of consensus beliefs, which opens the door to building more legitimate and effective participatory institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to understand how discourses of electronic media present reflections and refractions of resistance practices of the youth in organizational spaces as shopping malls ; these practices are currently known as Rolezinhos. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: Considering urban spaces as socially produced and cities as practical and discursive stages of symbolic dynamics of segregation, we discuss the processes of occupation of shopping malls in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, by youngsters from run-down areas, named Rolezinhos by electronic media. Key methodological aspects: We adopted the French Discourse Analysis as the basis of analysis of this research. The analysis corpus consists of discourses present in fifteen electronic news portals of the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, which produced during the year 2013 eighteen reports on the collective occupation of shopping malls by youngsters from run-down areas. Summary of key results: Resistance practices have expanded the boundaries of organizational spaces once they displace control points of the actions of subjects and question the construction of the shopping malls as organizational space to segregate disadvantaged social groups, emphasizing the potential for resistance and reframing of groups marginalized in these organizations. Key considerations/conclusions: We understand the "rolezinhos" as achallenge of the limits of organizational space that produced border displacement of organizations. They are effects of changes in the relations of socioeconomic forces that were in the streets and, when expanded into organizational spaces, caused tensions which remain latent because the streets continue their dynamics and will again challenge these boundaries.
