What does the incessant return of the Brazilian national team jersey between June 2013 and the government of Jair Bolsonaro mean? What is its role? What does football have to do with Brazil's public life in the early 21st century? Does its intervention in the recent political and social history of the country limit itself to the appearance of the national team jersey and its appropriation by extreme-right movements and parties? These are some of the questions that this article seeks to answer. To do so, the analysis mobilizes the theoretical-methodological framework of Greimas' discursive semiotics and Jurij Lotman's semiotics of culture, combining micro analyses of specific texts, practices, and discourses with macro analyses of broader and transversal sociocultural configurations, revealing the links between the semiospheres of football, politics, media, and religion.

When the work of the Constituent and Legislative General Assembly of the Empire of Brazil was begun in 1823, the state of Bahia was absent. It was to arrive at a delay, as in its capital and surrounding region the fight for independence was still underway. Such a situation sparked controversies and debates which highlighted the province's economic and political importance, whose absence, according to various deputies, rendered the implementation of certain agendas inviable. Between impasses and decisions, it is possible to understand Bahia's insertion in parliamentary debates and to problematize the intentions, interests, and plans of its representatives when they comment on issues such as amnesty, provincial government, and the creation of law courses in Brazil, based on the speeches registered in the annals of the Senate. The minutes of the Constituent General Assembly's sessions held in 1823 are the sources used here, interpreted and problematized from the perspective of the discourse analysis method.

This article aims to: understand the meanings and the subjects produced, focusing on the linguistic, enunciative and textual resources used in the discursive constitution of the work “O sucesso de amanhã começa hoje” (MAXWELL, 2005), in search of discovering recurrences in the production of certain effects of meaning on their success and their relationship with their interlocutors. Saying about success refers to a possibility of historical rise whose viability is closely linked to the conditions of emergence of a discourse that capitalizes on the desire for change in the disposition of social contrasts. On the other hand, the foundation of the discourse of success (SOARES, 2016; 2017; 2018) is in line with the discrepant functioning of the very forms in which this type of discourse means and permeates multiple meanings in its structure. At the current stage of its dispersion, it can be said that its strong manifestation, guaranteed by coaching, transmutes it into a self-knowledge mechanism by insinuating itself as a discourse of change or even revolutionary that sustains its continuity and diffusion. Thus, with the investigation of the functioning of the discourse of success in “O sucesso de amanhã começa hoje” and its relationship with other studies about the circulating discourses, we hope to contribute to the elaboration of a better grounded knowledge about social relations in the contemporary world, in particular, in Brazil today. For that, we will use the renowned theoretical and analytical tool of Discourse Analysis derived from the texts of Michel Pêcheux and his collaborators, being the main members of the analysis device: conditions of production, discursive formation and interdiscourse.

This paper aims to analyze Google for Education not just as a platform, but as a means of fostering cultural pedagogies in the realm of education. We are interested in understanding how this kind of digital agent places itself in the Distance Education (DE) context, more specifically, the way it represents itself and its products in the face of the expectations generated by the current moment of education in Brazil. The way it has come to be perceived, from the growth of the so-called Big Techs, giant technology conglomerates with global influence and range, is related to the expansion of neoliberal rationality and informational capitalism that underlie the discourses and representations about DE. In this sense, we propose to analyze Google for Education advertisements, how they teach distance education, in a market logic, linking through images and discourses their products to the idea of quality and guarantee of excellence in education. For this, we will use the methodology of Fairclough (2001), called Text-Oriented Discourse Analysis, in what it allows us to understand in terms of the connection between linguistic resources used in real texts, and the symbolic mechanisms of power. Finally, we seek to demonstrate the impact caused by the advance of neoliberal rationale on educational systems in Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: analyzing how entrepreneurship is portrayed by the mass media in Brazil, based on data on one of the main national communication media, namely: Folha de São Paulo newspaper. Design/methodology/approach: 1,288 news reports, published between January 2019 and December 2021, were analyzed based on using Structural Topic Modeling (STM) algorithm support and R programming language. Publications' volume and the main entrepreneurship topics were herein described. In addition, content published in the year before the Covid-19 pandemic and those published during the aforementioned health crisis were comparatively analyzed, based on trends reported by previous research. Results: there was increase in the number of publications during the pandemic period. Entrepreneurship's positive image was maintained by the media, which disregarded narratives about entrepreneurs' trajectories and failure times. Topics associated with minorities' inclusion proved to be a novelty, with emphasis on social entrepreneurship. Originality/value: the current research has evidenced entrepreneurship representation specificities, such as those associated with the pandemic period, although this scientific topic remains poorly explored at national level. STM highlights the news reports adopting discourse analysis among most studies on this subject. Furthermore, previous studies have mainly focused on news reports published in business magazines. In terms of social contribution, the current findings trigger a critical reflection on how mass media portray entrepreneurship in Brazil, and it enables addressing the need of developing more realistic and less romanticized narratives about this phenomenon.

Asking about a possible aesthetic formation for teaching in visual arts may seem obvious, however, based on a survey of texts carried out in the archives of four important events for the areas of Art and Education in Brazil, they are: "Reunião Anual da Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação -- ANPEd"; "Encontro Nacional da Associação Nacional de Pesquisadores em Artes Plásticas -- ANPAP"; "Encontro Nacional de Didática e Prática de Ensino -- ENDIPE"; "Congresso da Federação de Arte Educadores do Brasil -- CONFAEB", it was possible to identify that the relationships between the themes of aesthetics, teaching and visual arts are distinct and point to different issues within the field of teacher education. The texts were analyzed under the inspiration of Michel Foucault's discourse analysis, texts that were published between the years 2008 and 2015. In them, it was possible to identify a system of regularities and dispersions that made visible the existence of four trends in the ways in which they are placed in relation to the themes of art, teaching and aesthetic formation. At the end of the text, I propose some questions to problematize what we have done in relation to the training of teachers in arts with the intention of launching clues on the issue that mobilized the study the aesthetic dimension of the study of teachers of visual arts.

Considering the context of political dispute and the confrontation with LGBT subjects in education, this research aims to per form an analysis of the anti-gender crusade in the educational field. As of a post-structuralist theorization, anchored mainly in Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, it is argued that a neo-conservative motion based in an anti-feminist discourse was developed in Brazil to fight gender and sexuality topics in school curriculum. In conclusion, to carry out an analysis of neo-conservative discourses is essential for gender studies, since these narratives, based in moral panic strategies, has created support for educational laws as homeschoooling and militarized schools.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the limits of coping with the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, in its first 180 days. The methodology used is bibliographic survey, to find gaps in the field of social sciences, and a discourse analysis, in a Marxist sense. The results indicate two types of problems: an organic, which is related to the condition of a country of dependent capitalism, which has a form of autocratic domination, which negatively influences public health; the other is the Bolsonaro's government and its inertia in dealing with the health crisis. Also, the pandemic develops unevenly, reaching mostly the poorest and blacks / browns, showing the class character of the pandemic in Brazil. Finally, we criticize the limits of the approaches that defend the return of the Keynesian State as a solution to the crisis of neoliberalism that the coronavirus opens up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes aims to perform an analysis of the discourses of twelve Brazilian bills law projects that aim have as proposal the to prohibition of the use of gender-neutral language. To do so, we depart start from a discussion on Foucauldian governmentality to and elaborate a description of the topology of government in Brazil today according to the order of late neoliberalism and Christian-Neopentecostal morality -- considering its effects for the LGBTQIA+ population. We then move on to discuss the invention of gender-neutral language and the agonistics it makes work to, finally, analyze three strategies of the bills: that of the hardening recrudescence of the language-nation people pair, that of the production of public enemies, and that of the invention of a childhood to be protected. We close the text with observations about the production of abnormality and monstrosity today, aimed at increasingly problematic framings for dissent from heterocisnormativity.

This study presents elements about the conditions of reading, reception, and exegesis of Bakhtinian work in Brazil. For this purpose, it raises some biographical aspects of Bakhtin, Volochinov, and Medvedev, as well as a brief historical overview in respect of the reception of their texts in France, especially in the late '60s with Julia Kristeva. In addition, it analyzes four paratexts of works by some authors from the Bakhtin Circle with which we discussed the conditions of reading by investigating translation and reception matters. At the end, based on Beth Brait's contributions, there is a reading of Bakhtinian work with a focus on the Dialogical Discourse Analysis (DDA). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to INCRA data (2019), in Brazil there are 9,443 thousand settlements, and for many of them there is no forecast of land regularization. It is included that many of these rural settlements were implemented as a land tenure regularization policy, as well as a way of resettling those affected by big national development works. In this context, the Special Colonization Project of Serra do Ramalho (PEC-SR) is inserted, which was born as a settlement project resulting from a development policy in the 1970s. In this sense, the objective of the research was to analyze the confrontation of the peasants in the struggle in / for the land in order to better understand them as social subjects of resistance in the land of work and life, most of them "forgotten" by the hegemonic discourse of capital. It became evident that, with the expansion of capitalism in the countryside, peasants are increasingly subordinated to the subjection of land value and, in short, face a constant struggle against all means of expropriation. Resistance is a constant struggle by peasants to ensure that access to possession and permanence on land are constituted as rights of a sufficient land and agricultural policy to allow concrete actions, in order to historically break with the practices produced and reproduced in the countryside.

Because cities have a curriculum, the purpose of this article is to show the constitution, as an educational territory, of a path taken by children organized in a comprehensive education experience characterized by activities outside the school space: the Programa Escola Integrada (Belo Horizonte/MG). Based on the postcritical perspective of curriculum studies, the article shows that, in the experience of the curriculum of the city, although children are enrolled in a world whose way of being adult is standardized through the device of infanthood (which produces child subjects since the beginning of Modernity), children learn in/with the city, which enables educational territories creation. Using elements from educational ethnography and Foucauldian discourse analysis, we present aspects to reflect on the pedagogical practices, especially those related to the constitution of subjectivities, of full-time education programs in Brazil.

With this article, we present a first journey in a collective research program on the institutionalization of the History of Linguistic Ideas in Brazil, in its different axes of production and circulation. Here we bring three initial analytical gestures that will illustrate the complexity and vigor of this field of knowledge, namely: the construction of a network of researchers in continuous training; historicity and the transmission process - in which we scrutinized its initial registration as a project and its course in a representative congress in the field of Brazilian sciences, ANPOLL, and in which we observed the current framework of current productivity grants -; and, finally, what refers to institutional and academicscientific representativeness in a national context - in which we present an initial mapping of the disciplines of History of Linguistic Ideas in the graduate and postgraduate courses of Brazilian State and Federal Universities.

In this work, we aim to present questions that, formulated since the articulation of the Materialist Discourse Analysis with the History of Linguistic Ideas in Brazil, seek to understand the meanings of language, law and subject of linguistic rights and duties in the enunciation space Brazilian. In addition to giving rise to studies that contribute to the analysis of law as an instrument of language policy in this space, we analyzed a recent text of Brazilian jurisprudence that decided on the requirement to communicate in Portuguese for naturalization in Brazil, a linguistic duty imposed by country's migratory law. The presentation of our theoretical and methodological basis as well as the analysis gesture bring contributions to a materialist reading of the practices of language regulation in Brazil, focusing on the processes of building an idea of Brazilian language, citizenship and nationality.

The present study, anchored in the theoretical-analytical principles of the Materialist Discourse Analysis, aims to presente a historical overview of the language policies related to Spanish language teaching in Brazil, conducting a discussion on the discursive functioning of recent legislation regarding this educational practice. We observe the socio-historicalideological effects in the production of these policies, paying particular attention to the recent period of the Brazilian history, from the publication of the Spanish Language Law, in 2005, to the FicaEspanhol (StaySpanish) movement, mobilized from the repeal of the Spanish Language Law by the High School Reform, in 2017. With this text, we point to the effects of the neoliberal discourse in the elaboration of Brazilian language policies, materialized through the erasure of the Spanish language in the main documents that legislate on language teaching in Brazil.

Objective: To understand the social representations of the use of concept maps in a tutorial group of nursing students. Methods: Qualitative research, based on the Collective Subject Discourse analysis of 26 students from a public university in the Midwest of Brazil. Results: Two categories emerged from the discourse analysis: 1) Concept Map: a facilitating tool for learning organization and 2) Concept Map: a tool that causes tension and disadvantages learning. Conclusion: The concept map facilitates self-study and learning, as it enables the synthesis of knowledge and the organization of reasoning. Regarding their collective use, there were flaws in the time spent in elaboration and in the need to find linking words. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

the article analyzes the socio-historical affiliations of the discourse of optimization of the physical and human resources of the federal universities proposed by Program to Support Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Federal Universities (Reuni). Thus, the investigation seeks to identify the conditions of production that support this optimization discourse, given that the idea that there are underused, poorly used or wasted resources in institutions that have long publicly denounced government scrapping and clamoring for help. To this end, in the light of Discourse Analysis affiliated with Michel Pêcheux, in conjunction with historical-dialectical materialism, we analyze the conditions of production that support this discourse. Throughout the text, it is demonstrated that, in addition to being in line with Capital's demands for precarious increase in the level of education in Brazil, the Reuni discourse also updates a discursive memory of the 1968 university reform. Thus, it ís concludes by stating that the Reuni is characterized as the old man dressed again, insofar as its optimization discourse is a discursive update of the idea of rationalizing material and human resources proposed by the university reform of the Brazilian Military Dictatorship.

Broadcasting refers, in general terms, to the production and transmission of journalistic, educational and entertainment content in mass media. In this scenario, the work in Maintenance and Support (M&S), for the systems that support and compose the entire structure in broadcast, is one of the most complex, which raised the objective of analyzing the activity of these maintenance workers, responsible for the production support and broadcast transmission in Brazil. Based on an ergological and Bakhtinian perspective, the methodological format of semi-structured interviews allowed the recording and analysis of the speeches of the workers themselves, using a virtual room. The survey results showed a work activity riddled with labor disputes between teams and permanent pressure for full availability and immediate results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Inclusion of mental health care into primary care has occurred in several countries, including Brazil, to tackle the lack of assistance. The integration of services is seen as necessary, but at the same time a major challenge. The aim of this study was to conduct an exploratory analysis of discursive practices on the use of psychotropic drugs and non-pharmacological approaches to overcome negative life events. Interviews conducted with physicians working in family health on the clinical practice of primary mental health care made up our research corpus. Data were analyzed based on the assumptions of discourse analysis. The analytical descriptions were built based on the statements identified in the discursive formation of the medicalization of life. The results of the analysis showed the therapeutic pluralism of psychotropics and their effects, less frequently using non-pharmacological approaches. Prescription excludes broader social plots, captures the power of life by modulating individual and collective behavior, so that social life is assured and legitimized, thus ensuring the alleged common good.

Objective: Describe the use of Yoga in breastfeeding support, from the perspective of nursing mothers. Methods: This is an exploratory, descriptive study with a qualitative approach, with ten lactating women, from the municipality of Niterói - RJ, in the period between May and September 2018, using the structured interview, workshop as data production tool Yoga and field diary. The data were submitted to discourse analysis in the thematic modality. Results: Three categories were identified: Yoga as emotional and physical support for mothers; The assistance of the health team, and the meanings of the experience during the parturition and breastfeeding process; and The mother-baby relationship as a basis for maternal well-being and continuity of breastfeeding. Conclusion: The convergence between Yoga and breastfeeding is identified, since the physiological and psychic processes are manifested in the health of the physical body, holistically interconnected. The senses and negative emotions, reported in the breastfeeding process were minimized with the use of yoga as a therapeutic resource. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study aims to discuss a historical record of Brazil, based on a complimentary and even euphoric look, about it in the British newspaper The Economist during the second term of former President Lula. The vehicle is regarded by economists and financial market experts from around the world as the bible of world liberalism; with this "brand" The Economist goes from panic with the imminent victory of the former union leader in 2002 to enthusiasm for the former Head of State of Latin America's greatest economic power house in less than a decade! This paper, with theoretical foundation surrounded by discourse analysis and important folkcommunicational aspects, makes a return to a recent historical past, however, extremely distant from the current Brazilian reality, in which the crisis permeates various sectors and the folk language, light, peaceful gave way to the discourse of "denialism" in the face of social demands of emergency order, as is the case of hunger, employment, public health. Finally, what was "marolinha" in the economy of the Lula Government, turning into praise and example for the whole planet, today seems a distant historical record. It is the aforementioned record that now presents itself, involving the speech as the central axis of the folk image of a former Brazilian president who brought praise and euphoria to his country.

Objective: to analyze the barriers to access HIV rapid test from the perspective of the discourse of managers of Primary Health Care services. Method: exploratory, qualitative research conducted in a health district of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Data collection was performed in September 2017 with 13 health managers. The empirical material was based on the theoretical-methodological contribution of the Discourse Analysis of the French matrix. Results: the discursive block "Barriers of user access in the health system to perform the HIV rapid test in Primary Health Care" was identified. The discourses revealed barriers of access tied to the dimensions: geographical accessibility, availability, feasibility and acceptability. Final considerations: the units have the potential to strengthen the performance of the HIV rapid test, however, they need political support aimed at strategies to strengthen the performance of the rapid test with scope to reduce access barriers.

The essay has as its theme the water roads on the MAP border in Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia, inserted in the great Pan-Amazon, while crucial elements to deconstruct representations of an Amazon seen as ‘green hell’, ‘isolated’. To this end, we used to move across the borders of Geography, History, Literature, Cultural Studies, and Discourse Analysis to make the role of rivers visible in the process of deconstructing discourses cemented in literary canons, cartoons, and in the social and cultural imagery that one has of the region, from them as a place of transit, of social relations, and with nature.

The intensification of management ideals has contributed to other aspects of daily life, beyond the educational and organizational scope, are built according to the model defined by management. From this perspective, executives stand out in the social imaginary as examples of successful managers and icons of (re) production of lifestyles. In this sense, the objective of this article is to analyze the process of deconstruction of the image of Eike Batista as successful executive from the analysis of the memes about the manifestations of Internet users in the face of the fugitive and the imprisonment situation of the entrepreneur in 2017. Through the French Discourse Analysis of 142 different memes, it is possible to affirm that for many demonstrators the image of Eike Batista as entrepreneur, successful Brazilian executive and/or success case for the Administration is being deconstructed and re-signified as a criminal or anti-hero. However, Brazil's mainstream media still build, associate and convey the image of Eike Batista as a manager, reinforcing the popularization and legitimation of the management culture in the country.

This work presents an example of the Archaeological Derivation Tree tool as a way to visually systematize the path taken by the researcher who walks through the Archaeological Discourse Analysis (Foucault, 2005). This methodological strategy also contributes to the visualization of the bundles of relationships between the analyzed speeches, strengthening the possibility of using this methodology for studies in the field of communication and journalism. The exemplification is based on the documents that make up the ongoing doctoral research that aims to elucidate the discursive status of teaching photography in journalism courses in Brazil.

This paper studies the nationality regulation on radio and newspapers, trying to understand its effect over the language policy in those communication vehicles. For this purpose, we based the discussion on the Discourse Analysis and the History of Linguistic Ideas in Brazil. The corpus involves the legislation for the mass media published during the Vargas Era (1930-1945). In general, we discuss how the nationality policy resulted in a policy for the languages on radio and the written press, when increased or limited the right to speak for native or naturalized Brazilians and foreigners. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the right to speak regulation was an attempt to control the discourse production causing a foreigner interdiction in those particular vehicles.

In the 1940s, the radio exploded in Brazil and, with it, the controversy over the language spoken in its microphones. This article analyses the debate on the radio language in the journal Cultura Política: revista mensal de estudos brasileiros (1941-1945). The corpus was composed of 21 articles and interpreted in the light of Discourse Analysis and History of Linguistic Ideas in Brazil. The study aims understand the meanings projected for the languages (foreign and national) and the state attempt to organize a language policy to the radio. The Cultura Política discourse opposes a real Brazil - multilingual and diversified - to an ideal Brazil - monolingual and uniform. The radio spread the languages and popular speech and needed to be regulated by the State toward a national and standard language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A study on public policies is presented as an object of research in different areas of knowledge, considering the growth of publications on the subject in scientific journals. The objective is to analyze the scientific production on public policies in Brazil, to understand the development of this production, in addition to verifying the contribution of Minas Gerais in the period from 1980 to 2018. The theoretical framework deals with scientific production, scientific communication and communication channels, formal communication, scientific journals, bibliometrics, discourse analysis and public policies. The research is characterized by the quantitative, descriptive and bibliographic approach. The research corpus formed by the set of scientific articles linked to the journals indexed in the SciELO and Scopus databases. Data analysis based on bibliometric techniques and discourse analysis. It seeks to know the scientific journals, authors and institutions; and learn about public policy issues of interest to the academic community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this text we consider some of the journeys and recurring struggles over meanings and discoursivities in Amazonia, via a study focused on the life of the Macurany riverside community in Parintins, Amazonas state, Brazil. Parintins forms a strong case study site as the city provides an intersection of the contradictions of Amazonian social formations. Accordingly, we used studies and interpretations of regional history, and of riverside and indigenous communities, to evaluate and relate, through the materialistic perspective of Discourse Analysis, these interpretations in contrast with the reality of this riverside community of indigenous origin. We found continuing resonances of the discursivities originally installed during colonization. Such a situation calls for increased investment in artistic works and, school- and academic- and journalism-based activities to analyse and clarify, and also help resolve the problems and debilitating effects of the symbolic, moral, political, social, economic and physical violence caused by those discursivities.

In this article, we intend to discuss the discursive practices conveyed by news sites, between government and indigenous peoples, in the struggle for the Territory in the current Brazilian political scenario. For this, we approach the senses of being Indian in Brazil, in other words, the indigenous (trans) formation of identity, as well as certain discursive practices involving the indigenous, in the middle of the national political debate about the (non) demarcation and exploitation of indigenous lands. Authors such as Maher (1998, 2007), Cuche (2002), Bakhtin (2003), Bakhtin e Volochinov (2006), Stuart Hall (2015), among others, guide the discussion about identity and culture. Situated in the 'Discourse Analysis', we base the notion of discourse on a Foucaultian perspective (Foucault, 1995; 2007; 2014), in order to problematize the power relations between government and indigenous populations. What we realize is that in the power struggle, in resistance movements, indigenous identity is affirmed and sustained, strengthening, more and more, the sense of being Indian. Discourse analysts, who try to show the contradictions and problematize the evidence of meaning, have a duty to contribute to more efficient discursive practices in the struggle against hegemonic discourses.

Based on news of the rape of a 9-year-old child at Bororó village, located in the city of Dourados, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, this paper discusses how the cultural diversity of indigenous peoples is textualized in MS Record, the local TV news program. Supported by the French Line of Discourse Analysis and the study of social practices, this research analyzes how the television media, when questioning some aspects of the indigenous cultural identity through its supposed uniqueness and legitimacy, strikes out at the human rights and diversity, mostly contesting "privileges" given to indigenous people. Among the power relations inherent to the journalistic discourse and the historicity of the analyzed event, there is a effacement of the crime itself in relation to the (lack of) indianity. Ultimately, there is a dissemination of a prejudiced and discriminatory discourse towards them, particularly about how the courts and Brazilian indigenous protection organizations understand their own native people.

Bibliographic-documentary study in the interstitial zone of visual communication and religiosity in Brazil. It address questions about the possibility of understanding Brazilian Protestantism as iconoclastic. The answer this question it focus on the events surrounding the building of the most famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer, and in the political context of beginning of Brazilian Republic. It is from an analysis that we engage the discussion on the relation between religion and society in Brazil. The research strategy focuses on discursive and argumentative discourse pro and against the building of the monument. The discourse analyses of this religious dispute reveal a struggle for the social and political redefinition of the country; they also reveal iconoclasm in the Brazilian Protestant speech. The description of the iconoclastic operation by David Morgan (2005) provides the theoretical basis for the analysis. Another authors help to understand the Brazilian context, as Alberto Klein, Norval Baitello e Malena Contrera, besides authors of the Anthropology and Sociology of Religion. We conclude that Brazilian Protestantism does have in itself, an iconoclastic perspective. We also consider that the lack of separation between the public and the religious spheres of past are still relevant to understand today's social context in that country; and, finally, we affirm that visuality perfumes a central role in Brazilian religious practices.

As a theoretical and methodological framework, the Discourse Analysis and works to link between general characteristics of a newspaper front-page and device concepts and enunciation scenes. The chosen scenes, primarily the card game, function as the gear that powers the speech that is enunciated. In a context of great politicalmedia turbulence, generated by Dilma Rousseff impeachment process, one of the antecedents of the Bolsonaro era, a wave of polarized discourses developed that were disseminated and animated by the media.

This paper aims to analyze the Escola Sem Partido Bill (PL 7.180/2014) that is being processed in the Chamber of Deputies since 2014 and whose purpose is to end an alleged ideological indoctrination to which students are presumably subjected to in school. Therefore, we intend to discuss issues such as the existence of Ideology in teaching and what kind of ideology one wants to extinguish with such a project. Aspects that concern the freedom and autonomy of schools, students and teachers, will also be addressed, as well as the way this project would work and its possible implications. The method of analysis applied is the Michel Pêcheux’s French Discourse Analysis (DA), which consists of a theoretical-analytical device and involves three distinct areas: Linguistics, Psychoanalysis, and the Historical Materialism. We intend to elucidate terms belonging to this theory so that we can start with the analysis of the said bill’s text, as well as the discourses of its counterproposals: the Escola Livre bill (PL 6.005/2016) and the Política Nacional de Liberdade para Aprender e Ensinar bill (PL 10.997/2018), in order to verify how these projects that relate to the same theme but have distinct objectives mean in Brazil today.

This paper intends to analyse, based on the theoretical perspective of the Discourse Analysis in France, the discourse on the Indigenous and African languages in the Museu da Língua Portuguesa (Museum of the Portuguese Language) - aninstitution in São Paulo (Brazil) which is being rebuilt due to a fire occurred in december 2015. Using the concepts of scene of enunciation and ethos, the analysis focuses on the texts exhibited in the space Palavras Cruzadas (Crossword) on these languages. The paper argues that, by restricting the Indigenous and African languages to a certain "influence" in the lexicon, the museum takes a position on the linguistic identity of Brazil which recognizes the originality of the Portuguese language and, above all, its unity.

Diverse and productive ways of studying the word have been instituted in the field of language sciences. In this paper, the objective is to delineate epistemological and theoretical-methodological considerations regarding the study of the word as an ideological sign, from the writings of today called Bakhtin Circle and, more specifically, M. Bakhtin, V. Volóchinov and P. Medviédev. Therefore, the paper revisits the set of these works and returns to the main considerations developed there, centered on the constitutive relation existing among sign-ideology-word. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the word as a semiotic-ideological dimension, placing the relevance of this discussion for idiom/language studies in the enunciative-discursive perspective and in the consolidation of the discursive studies, which in Brazil are called Dialogical Discourse Analysis (ADD).

This article seeks to understand how the fake news, that comes to us in hand by means of digital media environments produce meaning. Initially, we sought to understand how this new phenomenon arose and how they reproduce in the online environment. Furthermore, a brief parameter of the current situation of corona virus (COVID-19) in Brazil and in the world, and finally, the theoretical framework was developed based on the principles of Discourse Analysis: Brandão (2014); Benveniste (1989); Bahktin (2006) and Charaudeau (2013, 2016). In the analyses, it was possible to identify the strategies used by those who build the fake news. Therefore, recognizing them, it is possible to avoid their spread, as well as preventing them from having an impact on life and decision making in the offline environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The text analyzes public and private sectors performance in the sanitation policy in the second decade of the 21st century, considering the resumption of discussions about the services privatization. To perform this task, a literature review was conducted to recover the policy trajectory, the analysis of data from the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS) was made to develop the sector's diagnosis, and the study of documents, discourses and strategies of the main social actors was done for an evaluation of the proposals rediscussing the national regulatory framework. In addition to an introduction and concluding observations, the paper was divided into three sections. The first presents a synthesis of the policy trajectory in Brazil. The following introduces a diagnosis of public and private sectors performance in the second decade of the 21st century. And, in the third moment, it recovers the discussion about the increased incidence of private sector from the regulatory transformations experienced. The study concludes that, even after the end of Planasa, centralizing structures were maintained, displacing the protagonism of the Union over the policy towards the states. Alliances between stateists and municipalists were effective in keeping reduced the private initiative participation, on the other hand, also prevented system's decentralization. Given the resurgence of privatization proposals, it is not clear whether the recovery of such alliances will be sufficient to block further attempts to expand private participation. However, it is argued that any substantive change in the current model will depend on a consensus that includes these actors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use and distribution of marijuana in Brazil can be considered as a recurring subject in discussions in social networks, currently. However, the discussion about marijuana is not a recent issue, and can be traced back to Brazil colony. In this paper, it is proposed to discuss the uses of the role of science as a discourse capable of participating actively in this discussion. Two postings of pages with opposing ideological orientations will be analyzed from Discourse Analysis next to the notion of Phrases Without Text, proposed by Dominique Maingueneau. From psychoanalysis, virtual relations will be thought of as spaces full of affection and meaning, understood as a place where aggressiveness is also present. At the end, the possible uses of results and research on marijuana and THC in the analyzed posts are highlighted, evidencing the oppositions and rivalries that make it difficult to have a dialogue about the use of marijuana in Brazil.

This article is based on a research about the discursive functioning of journalistic coverage in news applications, among them the French Le Monde. It focuses on the effects of detachment, studying a corpus of international news about Brazil. With the theoretical-methodological support of the French Discourse Analysis (AD), it seeks to understand how media production modes demand attention to what we propose to call as a discursive syntax of detachment, which becomes constitutive of memory records of the contemporaneity. It is considered the inseparability of the procedures of the digital media and of the processes of solidification of discourses, since salient themes of contemporaneity, reiterated in a non-static way in the applications, are mixed with contemporaneity itself. This results in the need to reflect on communication in today's society based on new concepts. As contribution, this work proposes the reflection about the discursive syntax of the detachment, linked to what is understood here as the constitution of contemporary discursive memory.

In the background of our discussions, what moves us is the interest in investigating the dimensions of the potentiality of generation of recognition, by social actors, of the representations constructed by the fictional series Merlí, Catalan production available in Brazil since 2016 via the platform of Netflix streaming. We look at this empirical object, above all, from the concepts of discourse analysis (CHARAUDEAU, 2010), aiming to study gender and sexuality representations presented by this media product. Unlike other media products, which sometimes produce more invisibility, we support the thesis that Merlí contests current representations of minorities, being in tune with an emerging political discursivity in in contemporary times - or a "new political imaginary", according to Fraser (2006).

Faced with the evolutionary scenario of the telecommunications sector and the highly competitive market in Brazil and the constant need to rethink the quality of the service provided, there is a need to generate differentiated customer experience as a way of growth and maintenance of the customer base. In this way, this research sought to analyze the operational actions that guide the operations area of a company that provides mobile telephony service to meet the Customer Experience concept, which was adopted by the organization as a business strategy. For that, a theoretical study on operational strategy based resource vision (VBR) and customer experience was carried out. The data collection was performed through an open interview with managers of the operational area, as well as public data of the company in question, maintaining the confidentiality necessary for the execution of the research. Discourse analysis was used as a methodology, in order to obtain the interviewee's understanding not only of what was said but also of the meaning of what he had reported. The result allowed to identify great opportunity in relation to the use of organizational, physical and human resources. With this, it is hoped to contribute to improve the vision of the operation on the aspects of the business in a large Corporation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Brazil, in the 1930's and 1940's, the concern with the formation of salaried class, necessary labor for the economic development of the country, is highlighted in the Brazilian social thought. Thus, internal and international migrations presented an emerging solution scarcity of workers for coffee harvesting and industry (Fordist / Taylorist model). This article analyzes migration through the debate established in Roberto Simonsen's work (1889-1948). The objective is to hold a debate based on the essay “Economic Resources and Population Movement”, published 1940. The hypothesis is that, in the author's thought, economic resources and the human factor are basic cells in the development of capitalism whose method production takes place in the industry. The methodology is guided by discourse analysis. The results and conclusions indicate that Simonsen, well ahead of his time, saw the need and state responsibility for the production of migration planning policy to improve living standards in the country.

This article aims to present a semiolinguistic analysis of the text History of Brazil, written by Paulo Mendes Campos, author from de Brazilian State of Minas Gerais. The analysis started from the theoretical and methodological postulates of Semiolinguistic Discourse Theory (2012), by Patrick Charaudeau, as well as from specific concepts coming from the Systemic-Functional Grammar. During this analysis, we demonstrate how the enunciating subject lends his voice to the Creator, the Judeo- Christian God, in an interdiscursive process between literary, religious and historical text that briefly and critically narrates Brazilian History. In this process, several meanings can be found in the text that, even if produced many decades ago, still remains current. From the perspective of the literary scope, Paulo Mendes Campos' text is timeless and makes the reader critically immerse in the historical events that decipt Brazilian alienation since colonization.

This essay aims to analyze the proposals for intervention presented in modeled writing essays in the National Secondary Education Exam (Enem) in the year of 2016. From the proposal of religious intolerance theme, interculturality is born in a context of admission of the intensification of struggles on the recognition of identities and rights in contemporary societies. The space provided for intervention emerge as an area of conflict, whereas the force upshot between social agents are assigned to resolve, control and reassure conflicts. Using the theoretical and methodological approach of the French Discourse Analysis, Foucault's approaches about power and speech, and taking account the peculiarities of the national history, we intend to examine the incidents, the action complementarity and the ranking of the agents that act in the intervention, and thus recognize the impact in the complex reality discursive formed around the coexistence and cultural exchanges in Brazil.

Journalistic discourse always is result of specific conditions of production that anchor the sayings about events, themes, problems and diverse individuals. In this research, we reflect especially on conditions of production that allow the reiteration of meanings about climate change in Superinteressante magazine. In our interpretive action, we mapped sayings about the climate issues constructed by the publication between 1995 and 2015. Based on the theoretical- methodological contributions of Discourse Analysis (AD), we located four Discursive Formations (DF) and ten Paraphrases Networks (PN) about climate change. The discussion of such categories points out how this magazine works, in its own discourse, the different dimensions of climate change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
