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.

Objective/context: The study aimed to analyze the debate among Brazilian women senators during the impeachment trial of Dilma Rousseff in 2016. Methodology: Elements of discourse analysis were applied to investigate the main question: How did the debate develop among women senators, considering the ideological spectrum of the party and their position on the impediment (favorable or contrary)? The analysis presents a political-ideological profile of women senators, the arguments used by them in the debate, and the different uses of the defense of democracy. Conclusions: The left-wing women senators were more diligent and repeated their arguments more frequently to increase their discursive visibility. They also addressed the non-existence of a crime of responsibility, a condition to initiate an impeachment process. Women senators from the right and the center, on the other hand, resorted to rhetorical models to reiterate that the then-president of the Republic was no longer in a position to maintain a parliamentary base to support her government. The senators of this group also stated that the investigations demonstrated the use of schemes to irresponsibly disguise public accounts, exclusively with a view to Rousseff's reelection. Originality: It is relevant to highlight the original fact that this is an analysis of the impediment of a woman in the office of President of the Republic from the female perspective of the parliamentary body of the Senate, the institution in charge of judging the impeachment process.

The present work brings a reflection on the discourse constituted by an imaginary of woman, socio-historically constructed, in the lyrics of the song of Clarice Falcão - "I am my problem". For this discussion, we take as basis the theory of Discourse of French line, founded by Pêcheux, in which the indissociability between subject / language / history and ideology is not considered. The subject is not an isolated being, because it is affected by the society, the history and the ideology that circulate in all spaces, and its discourse materializes in the language. For our analysis, we are based mainly on Orlandi (2015, 1996), Moraes (2005), Bourdieu (2002) and Foucault (2003), mobilizing, among other notions, those of subject, language, ideology, interdiscursivity, imaginary formations and socio-historical context. In our opinion, in the lyrics of the song, the author seeks to deconstruct the set of images attributed to women in society throughout history. For this, it constructs several statements constituted by a recurrence to the negation that points to the constitutive heterogeneity. In order to understand the discursive functioning of negation, we take as a basis the works of Indursky (1997), Maingueneau (1991), Pavan (2013) and Henge (2009). Knowing that everything in the text is important to think discursivity, we consider it imperative to explore the negation that is repeated so many times, on the linguistic surface of the song lyric analyzed (Do not get me wrong / But you do not have me / I'm not a hat / In someone's closet / I'm not worth a real ...). Our analysis points to the fact that this linguistic materiality is producing effects of meanings inscribed in the discursive memory that refers to the objectification of women.

In this work, it was proposed, through the Materialist Discourse Analysis, a study of the authorship of an argumentative-disserative text worked from the polysemy with the objective of understanding the functioning of the Polemic Pedagogical Discourse in the writing process. The analysis sought to observe the production of the authorship effect in the texts of technical high school students on Human Rights. Through writing and speeches in the classroom, it was possible to identify the students' discourse on the topic and the way in which they placed themselves in different subject-positions, in the texts produced. The analyzes pointed to the existence of ideological antagonism, and allowed us to identify different degrees of authorship and the way in which the pedagogical discourse can intervene in the student's authorship even when in its controversial functioning.

This article analyses, from a statistical point of view, the titles of the articles published in Análise Social (from 1963 to 2022), by comparing the words used over these six decades. Starting from the premise that a certain choice of words reflect a diverse set of "textual worlds", which are organised according to different motivations and interests, these words, produced under certain historical contexts and mediated by the work of the journal's editorial teams reveal both the continuity and the thematic changes that shaped its lexicon over time.

Considering that Umbanda promotes a symbolic inversion of power by bringing historically marginalized groups to the center of the scene as holders of great spiritual evolution, it is observed that Pombagira emerges as the free and powerful woman who transgresses the relationships historically established by society patriarchal. Based on this observation, we propose to observe the construction of the power ethos of Pombagira Sete Saias incorporated into a male medium in order to understand how she subverts what is both feminine and masculine, dressing her medium and intertwining strength and sensuality. For this, we will borrow the interviews made by the anthropologist Mariana Moura (2018) to Pombagira to analyze the construction of the discursive ethos from the assumptions of Dominique Maingueneau (2008, 2015, 2020). As initial conclusions, we argue that this body in transit raises questions relevant to Discourse Analysis, both with regard to the subject's relationship with the embedded medium, as well as the construction of the self-image in the entity's discourse.

Introduction: The digital platforms have become a place for sharing intimate issues, for instance, to talk about one's own illness, what characterize an extimacy movement, boosted by the mediatization process. This dynamic is commonly used by patients with rare diseases -- as Turner Syndrome -- due to its low frequency, the stigmas and the unfamiliarity of doctors and people in general. Objectives: Comprehend and analyze how, in the ambience of mediatization, occurs the process of extimacy in patients with Turner Syndrome on the Instagram profile Turner & Eu and on the Butterfly TV YouTube channel. Methodology: Using the Analysis of Discursive Circulation, the meanings contained in two posts of the Instagram profile and in one video of the YouTube channel were studied through an intertextual analysis of the discursive operations. Results: The extimacy process aims no just to expose intimate issues, but it is also a way of self-affirmation, validation, self-organization, inspiration and it enables the end of stigmas, providing a reconfiguration of the illness. Conclusion: The extimacy involves two dimensions: the temporality of each patient and the digital platform where this movement happens. Besides that, it is also a process collaboratively built.

In 1938, Graciliano Ramos publishes the work Vidas Secas that fits into Brazilian Modernism, highlighting the tragic life of the migrant. Thus, this research aims to investigate, under the method of French Discourse Analysis and the Ecocritical perspective, the man-environment relations and the representations of the countryside and of the backwoods that the author outlines, also dialoguing with the human feeling. which is awakened in the dialogue with the place and the environment, bearing in mind the concepts of topophobia and topophilia. As main results, it can be said that the discourses present in the narrative predominantly demonstrate the feeling of horror (topophobia) of the Caatinga, in a tone of social criticism, due to the problems resulting from the drought. Therefore, Ecocriticism and Humanistic Geography (topophobia and topophilia) are fertile areas of interdisciplinary knowledge, with a view to revealing human-environment relations.

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 starts from a concern about the changes in the discourse regarding the two transsexual participants in the history of the reality show Big Brother Brasil, Ariadna Arantes, in 2011, and Linn da Quebrada, in 2022. Considering the eleven years of difference between the participations, we sought to understand whether there was a change in the meaning effects used to report their participation based on the analysis of news from G1. Starting from a theoretical discussion on theories of journalism and with the framework of French Discourse Analysis, we will analyze the articles published during the month of January 2011 and 2022, when Rede Globo starts publicizing the cast of the program. We seek to diagnose the emergence of a new perspective at transsexual gender identities in the press. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a time marked by connectivity, transparency and lack of trust, while journalism has plunged into an unprecedented crisis, Public Relations are being called to manage reputation and ensure/restore trust in brands. In order to contribute to the clarification of the normative objectives/motivations of these two socio-professional fields, this article explores supranational deontological codes, using discourse analysis. We verified that, despite the absence of conflicts in values/principles, there are differences in normative purposes/motivations, suggesting different social concerns and commitments, that can help to delimitate/demarcate boundaries between these two "close relatives". This study suggests, among others, that while journalism struggles to be respected; the central concern in Public Relations is to be respectable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.

The Solidarity Economy - SE consists of economic experiences based on differentiated values and practiced with self-management. The objective of this work is to understand education as a factor for strengthening of SE, highlighting some of the educational themes demanded by its workers. This research is characterized as exploratory, descriptive and qualitative. Data collection took place with the Coordination of the Solidarity Economy Forum of Guarabira (PB) and Region, through a focus group and semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed based on discourse analysis (French perspective). It is argued that education can be carried out in the most diverse spaces, being possible to consider it, mainly non-formal education, as an instrument of citizenship, liberation and emancipation, even more if allied to popular education. Still, it was possible to verify several training demands by this public, related to the management of the enterprises, organizational aspects, but, mainly, about the values that guide ES.

This paper develops a reflection on Discourse Analysis (DA), which has had an increasingly meaningful role in the field of organizational studies, especially in administration. It begins with the presentation of the DA main streams, a methodological division which delimits distinct orientations both in the theoretical and practical fields. It takes Saussure’s contributions as the starting point of the theoretical foundation. After that, the theories of speech acts, or pragmatics, as well as the theories of enunciation and the concept of destination are briefly explored, as a way to establish a background to guide the reader and allow him/ her to understand the urge to submit the discourse of administration to the indiscreet DA lenses.

The objective of this study is to understand how the Umbanda movement of the beginning of the 20th century, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, anchored in the announcement of Umbanda by the Caboclo das Sete Encruzilhadas, on November 15, 1908, outlined a religious ethos with a clear racist outline. This is a qualitative research with an exploratory approach and discourse analysis. Based on the analysis of the discursive construction of the I Congress of Umbanda Spiritism (1941), we sought to elucidate concepts that could relate the construction of the religious ethos to the process of whitening the religion. The results of the research indicated that the de-Africanization of religion was an intentional strategy of "cleansing" of religion articulated by the white middle class to amalgamate the process of legitimating religion in urban society.

This article analyzes, in the light of French Discourse Analysis, the discursive functioning of the term "mi-mi-mi". The study takes as a corpus two excerpts from the social network Twitter, in which it is possible to verify that the expression "mi-mi-mi" and the statements with which it establishes a relationship are used as a way of mocking, belittling, embarrassing and silencing minorities, evidencing knowledge that delineate the Extreme Right Discursive Formation, such as racism and misogyny. In general, it was observed that when expressing such meanings, the analyzed discourses express views that converge to the idea that there is a group that must prevail over the others.

This article aims to analyze how different discourses are valuatively intertwined in the constitution of the "Cartilha para crianças: Coronavírus - vamos nos proteger" of the Ministry of Health, based on tense dialogical relationships between the discursive thematization of preventive guidelines for coping with the Covid-19 pandemic and other political government discourses. Dialogical studies of language, in the light of Bakhtin Circle's writings and contemporary research in Dialogical Discourse Analysis (DDA), have guided the discussion. The results show that, in its socio-historical, cultural, ideological and verbal-visual dimensions, the semantic-axiological confluence between what has already been said and what is to come in the Cartilha engenders political-governmental discourse legitimated by hybrid refractions of the public-scientific-everyday ideological spheres, in a valued whole from which citizens' accessibility discourses emerge into guidance and into medical care by the SUS/government; euphemization of the consequences of the disease; denial of its seriousness; denial of the permanence of its pandemic status; family and governmental protection for children and for the elderly, among others.

This article aims to analyse the way in which the media and the discourses that are formulated and circulate in it appear in the theoretical-analytical reflections proposed by Michel Pêcheux, in the theory of discourse analysis. Specifically, it considered two points: a) the way in which media discourses are mobilized in texts by Pêcheux and other researchers related to him, in their productions on the French scene, between the late 1960s and early 1980s; b) the way in which these reflections that permeate the Pecheutian work found resonance from the reterritorialization of discourse analysis in Brazil, resulting in analysis of diverse corpora and theorizations about the journalistic, advertising and digital discourse.

This work has as main objective to analyze axiological dimensions emerging in the development of the text review activity during the work of a reviewer in the thesis of her client, based on the analysis of discourses exchanged via e-mail between the subjects that were investigated. The reflections presented support the epistemological principles of the dialogical analysis of the discourse on language and the ergological approach to deal with the reviewer's work activity. Thus, we investigated how intersubjective relationships are organized and developed reflections that allowed us to show the (in) tense negotiations of meanings established in and through language, which mobilize social voices in a process full of values and multiple axiological tones.

This article is the partial result of a bigger project that seeks to understand the reception and particularities assumed by Bakhtinian thought in Brazil since its introduction in the 1970s to the present day. For doing so, it analyzes the texts that frame the Brazilian translations and (re)translations of the Bakhtinian work, examining which dialogical (evaluative) relationships can be observed in these frametexts: with whom they dialogue and to whom they are addressed at the time of their publication. This paper analyzes the Brazilian reception of the essays on Aesthetics of Verbal Creation, in the 1992 and 1997 editions, in the 2003 (re)translation, and also in subsequent publications, 2016 and 2017. The frame-texts of each of these editions show how reception, initially inserted in the tradition and continuity of a European and international academic scientific moment, has established itself institutionally over four decades, revealing new ways of reading and circulating the dialogical perspective of discourse in Brazil.

The pandemic caused by Covid-19 changed the relationships established between the subjects involved in the school context. Students' lack of active participation is often noted, as they commonly do not interact and keep their cameras and microphones turned off during online activities. Based on this scenario, this article has as its object of analysis six excerpts from interviews carried out with students from Integrated High School and Technical Courses from Federal Institutes in different states, and aims to analyze the meaning effects engendered by the absence of the body in remote education activities. Therefore, a theoretical-analytical path was traced based on Pêcheux's Discourse Analysis, which allows, as a methodology, to interrogate the interpretation in order to understand its discursive functioning. With the investigation, it was understood that both the body and the silence of its absence give rise to meaning effects that impact the constitution of subjectivity, and that especially the affective distance in the student environment is accentuated.

This article discusses, based on journalistic discourses published in the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo and in the digital magazine AzMina, how productions of meanings about female sexuality still suffer from logics that incur in norms and silencing regarding topics considered taboo. At the same time, the text reflects on journalistic dynamics differentiated between a traditional vehicle and another designated as alternative, which is projected in the ways in which agendas are approached and in the distinction of the respective speeches. As theoretical supports, Discourse Analysis, spiral of silence, newsworthiness criteria and social construction of reality are discussed, in addition to themes related to symbolic violence linked to women’s sexuality, choices regarding their own bodies and the stereotypes that orbit this field.

This article has the main objective to understand how the religious work of priests (priests) of Catholic churches of a city in the state of Minas Gerais is configured. The qualitative approach was adopted based on field, exploratory, and descriptive research. The instruments for data collection comprised semi-structured interviews conducted through a script, being recorded and transcribed for analysis. The technique used for data analysis was discourse analysis. As a result, it was possible to observe that the work of the priest is born from a vocational call that is worked on a formation based on five main axes: academic, intellectual, spiritual, human-affective, and communitarian. Na arduous/tiresome routine of priestly activity is observed, and, although not a dangerous/unhealthy profession, there seems to be a consensus as priests may suffer several damages of a physical and/or mental nature.

The absence or insufficiency of a more complex approach to breastfeeding in official breastfeeding promotion materials induced the research project that investigated maternal perceptions about the act of breastfeeding their babies and the weaning process and its implications for them, their children and families. This article presents the results of the aforementioned research, based on the analysis of interviews with women who weaned a maximum of two years ago. Women's experiences are affected by models of motherhood asserted by official discourses for breastfeeding and those that appear in the media. Sharing subjects seldom addressed or silenced in these discourses have helped them to reframe the breastfeeding experience, displacing their meanings and, to some extent, transforming them.

The French-line Discourse Analysis (DA) and the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) support this study, which examines a journalistic statement about the effects of soil erosion on agricultural production. The intention is to investigate how a news about a typical problem in the rural and/or environmental universe produces meanings for interlocutors without links to agribusiness. The statement shows signs of polyphony, silencing and didacticity, which demarcate the conditions of text production, identify endo/exogroups, in addition to determining a line of reading, among many other possible ones. The analysis concludes that this discourse does not connect the problem of soil degradation to the final consumer. The meaning is interrupted in the rural production link, as if the effects of soil degradation suffered a discontinuity, without affecting items that are consumed by urban inhabitants.

This work aims to understand the meanings about early childhood present in the Brazilian documentary "The beginning of life" (Estela Renner, 2016). For this, through Discourse Analysis (DA) concepts, we investigate who the imagined spectator is, the discursive organization of the film and the truth effects established by it. We conclude that, besides the preponderant sense of valuing early childhood care, the work carries other meanings, such as the possibility of a predetermined future for some children, especially those who live in social vulnerability. In addition, we realize that the "truth effects" built for the film's argument, that is, the conditions created by its directors so that the proposed narrative about early childhood is considered "valid", carries silencing of meaning.

This article aims to understand, through the analysis of the PoliticalPedagogical Projects, how the bilingual subject was conceived by two schools, which called themselves bilingual. The analysis, of a documental nature, approached Dialogic Discourse Analysis (BRAIT, 2006). School A's proposal suggests that students become bilingual from the experience of languages in the school environment, moving between them and putting them in constant contact, whereas school B's proposal, by proposing a school organization in monolingual environments, indicates that the bilingual student is understood as the one who learns a foreign language as a linguistic system regardless their native language. It is thus concluded that, just as there are different ways of understanding bilingualism, there is also no single way of thinking about bilingual education. The only common ground between the proposals is the promise of a better future for those who know a foreign language, especially English. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]

This research carried out an archive analysis, having as object the degree program structure (DPS) of a natural sciences teacher training course. Based on Freire's Liberating Education, as well as other critical theoretical frameworks, and the French-Brazilian Discourse Analysis theoreticalmethodological framework, it aimed to look at the context production of the discourse materialized in the DPS. Through the analysis, it was considered that emerged from their interdiscourse elements such as: articulation between theory and practice in teacher education; articulation between teaching, research, and university extension; approximation between University and School; pedagogy of competences. On the other hand, some silences were noticed: absence of theoretical affiliations; jargon and commonplaces; absence of equity discourse. Thus, it was concluded that the critical-transformative perspectives cannot and should not appear in a veiled or implicit way in a document of this type. On the other hand, in this movement, we can consider the silence and inconclusion present in the discourse materialized in the DPS precisely as points of drift, transformation and overcoming of the hegemonic logic.

In this article, affiliated with the Discourse Analysis founded by Michel Pêcheux, we propose to analyze the short story O homem podre, by Natália Borges Polesso (2018), a contemporary Brazilian writer, thinking of literary discourse as the place where the 'semantically normal world' is suspended and gives space to misconception, absurdity and non-sens. Therefore, we articulate to the theoretical assumptions of D.A the concept of aesthetic revolution, as thought by Jacques Rancière, in order to configure what we call Aesthetic Discursive Formation (ADF), a region of interdiscourse whose prototypical knowledge revolves around the dismantling of the illusion of transparency and unity. The pendulum process between theory and corpus proper to the analytical procedures of discourse theory showed that, in the short story under analysis, the effect of questioning the evidence is related to the equivocal game between the literal, the metaphorical and the metonymic. In the text, the literal arises in the place where the metaphorical is commonly expected, in order to implode the barriers between what would be the 'legitimate' meaning of a given word or utterance and the meaning taken in common sense as marginal. This aesthetic procedure captures the real of the language, always hidden in other discursive formations, which unfolds in a transgressive power typical of the artistic and the literary.

This article integrates results of reflections on the importance of the History and Philosophy of Science in the initial training of teachers of the Licentiate in Chemistry at the Universidade Estadual da Paraíba. To write this article, we sought in articles related to the History and Philosophy of Science, theoretical assumptions that approach the inclusion of the historical perspective in teaching. Methodologically, we carried out a descriptive and exploratory study, characterized as a case study, using the questionnaire as a data collection instrument, applied to six teachers of the respective course, according to a qualitative perspective. After this step, in order to analyze the answers to the open questions suggested in this instrument, we based ourselves on the theory of Discourse Analysis, proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin, to interpret the arguments presented as answers by the teachers. Therefore, we understand that its theoretical framework presents interesting elements that offer strong support to our interpretations, as well as brings to light the functioning of language, in which the subject is constituted by the interpretation he makes. The results indicate, from the speeches of the teachers studied here, that the approach of History and Philosophy of Science is of great relevance for teaching, as a didactic strategy and teaching activity, allowing to contextualize the classes, showing the process of transformation of the science, provide a reflective learning about the nature of scientific knowledge, in addition to observing the internal and external aspects that are peculiar to them.

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.

This article analyzes the publications on Facebook entitled "Joaquin Teixeira Thoughts" and on Twitter @joaquimvoltou, social networks that make a satire and opposition to political correctness and that would represent the thought of the Brazilian conservative right, The page deals with the elderly Joaquin Teixeira, a conservative and prejudiced far-right grandfather who uses posts to attack minorities and stereotype left-wing ideology. For this analysis, concepts of French Discourse Analysis were mobilized, used as a theoretical and methodological basis. The corpus is composed of screenshots of publications on social networks, involving various themes that make up his supposed right-wing FD, understanding how this satirical/ironic humor marked, from 2014 onwards, the resurgence of right-wing discourse.

This paper aims to discuss the effects of meaning of racism's constitutive silence in newspaper and magazine headlines. This discussion crosses words and, beyond its physical aspects, considers silence in its process of signification, based on history and ideology. When entering Portuguese Language classes, this proposal tends to redirect teaching situations, often centered on descriptive, mechanistic and normative approaches, sustained by a view of language that is restricted to the linguistic system, in order to move senses and destabilize them. Considering this process, the text aims: (a) to present results of an analysis that investigates the effects of meaning of silences constitutive of racism from news headlines that, on April 8, 2019, reported the murder of Evaldo Rosa, a black musician, in Guadalupe, in Rio de Janeiro; (b) to propose an approach to teaching Portuguese Language as a social and antiracist practice. To theoretically and methodologically support the analysis, the study is anchored in investigations on the forms of silence, within the scope of Discourse Analysis (ORLANDI, 2011), and in discussions on structural racism (ALMEIDA, 2019), within a decolonial perspective.

In this work, based on proposals of Dialogical Discourse Analysis (ADD), originated by the theorizations of Mikhail Bakhtin and the Circle, we argue for and illustrate the Bakhtinian thesis that the subject is individual and social at the same time and that, therefore, every subject is answerable for the others and before others -- or at least could be taken as being so, something which interests us more specifically. We examine, based on the idea of ethical responsibility, and considering several reactions of subjects to the pandemic (reactions which go from absolute denial to panic), two attitudes, one that approaches the acceptance of responsibility for themselves and others and another that refuses this dimension of human beings.

This study aimed to understand the perception of wheelchair users about the interference of pressure injuries in their daily lives. This research is characterized as applied, descriptive, and participant, with data analysis and discussion under the qualitative paradigm. The group of interviewees was composed of 14 wheelchair users. Data were analyzed from the perspective of discourse analysis, followed by triangulation. The results indicated that the interviewees are aware of and understand the complexity of the care required when facing the development of pressure ulcer; however, they are not always able to apply it daily. The injury not only affects the user's physical health but also interferes deeply in the psychosocial field, implying limitations and care that make them dependent on other people. Thus, the importance of preventive measures that can provide an improvement in the quality of life of these individuals is evident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This investigation seeks to delineate the imbrications existing in the binomial communication and culture, with the objective of understanding the social inclusion dispositif from the analysis of the film "Colegas", released in 2013, and the socio-historical context of its production, based on notion of dispositif used by Foucault (2015) and operationalized by Deleuze (1996). As a procedure, the dispositif requires the method of discourse analysis used in this study, in line with film analysis, based on Vanoye and Goliot-Lété (2006), culminating in the hybrid called film discourse analysis. As a result, it made it possible to understand how the meanings manifested in "Colegas" dialogue with the discourses circulating in contemporary society about the inclusion of people with Down syndrome and the main conclusion is that the subject with Down was built in "Colegas" with based on the historical moment of production of the film, which has as its premise the dispositif of social inclusion.

The permanence of the debates carried out in Brazilian modernism throughout the 20th century is discussed based on an analysis of the discourses of aesthetic and political engagement proposed by Mário de Andrade, of the official institutional actions that privileged the productions of this aesthetic current in their cultural, educational, and diplomatic policies, as well as the actions of interpreters and composers in defense of musical nationalism. It concludes that, in order to understand this permanence, it is necessary to reflect on the role that institutions have historically played, and that the analysis of the action of other agents, such as interpreters, can reveal aspects not yet discussed in the study of modernism.

This paper discusses the dissemination and use of environmental discourse in the virtual space as a strategy to raise awareness about the planet, aiming to produce environmental human beings. Considering the discursive scenario and the emergence of a new model of subjects, this paper aimed to examine the construction of environmentally correct individuals in the electronic game Minecraft. Studies of the discourse analysis developed by Michel Foucault were used to provide the background for our methodology and to map discursiveness found in our material. When analyzing the discursiveness in the game, an environmental pedagogical discourse was evidenced, which is materialized through the environmental human statement. These are discursive tactics that aim to teach the players ways of being and acting environmentally correct, through the images of the characters, scenes, and the lessons of returning to natural life.

This article aims to analyze the construction of the category "misbehavior" in managerial discourses, considering these discourses as claiming activities that try to persuade about the problematic condition of this behavior in the organizational context and propose intervention and control strategies on this form of deviation. As part of the fieldwork, a qualitative methodology was used, consisting of in-depth interviews and rhetorical analysis of the discourse of nine managers, occupying intermediate positions in different organizations. From this analysis, which privileges the central rhetorical constructs in the process of elaboration, legitimation and transformation of labels of deviation, the research identifies in this rhetoric a set of characteristics that place the individual in opposition to a striking profile in the neoliberal rhetoric of capitalist society. The market appears in this context as the main prognostic figure to adequately punish the deviations of those who fail in the face of the new standards of organizational behavior required.

Television of the South-teleSUR was created in July 2005 to promote, from the media field, the regional integration of Latin American cultures and peoples, placed as "the informative voice of Latin America" in contrast to external narratives about the region. This work analyzes its communicative proposal in Latin America. As an analysis device, we use bibliographical and documentary research and French Discourse Analysis. In the theoretical base we resort to the epistemic perspective of Good Living/Living Well, complemented with authors who problematize the Latin American media. Thus, we conclude that the teleSUR performance accentuates the North/South geographic binarism, when it denies the North and reinforces the South, in opposition to external views, specially US media groups.

This study presents an analysis about author-function and about the roles played by the subjects in the manifestation of the truth. This study was based on the analysis of the portuguese work Virgeu de consolaçon (unidentified manuscript whose production dates from the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th). Based on the theoretical-methodological support of the discourse analysis, mainly the foucauldian theory, the study mobilizes, above all, the concepts of aleturgy (FOUCAULT, 2014a) and author (FOUCAULT, 2000, 2014b; CHARTIER, 2012). The development of the analyzes is configured from the unanswered question about the identification of an author to the work (that motivated philological investigations throughout the 20th century) and with the aim of demonstrating the effects, precisely, of the erasure of authorship in the Virgeu de consolaçon, whose gesture pemit to understand the of subjet as author of the manuscript and his role in the revelation of the truth provided by the work. As a result, we have: I. the definition of the Virgeu de consolaçon as a ritual manifestation of the truth, by the role of the author; II. the identification of the role played by the authorities who enunciate in the work and III. the identification of the role played by the monk who reads the work.

This paper examines and compares, in the light of French Discourse Analysis, four life stories - collected through interviews - that were produced by Brazilian migrants that live illegally in France or in England. The main objective is to find out the discursive representations (of themselves, of the others, of the world) constructed by such individuals in their narratives and, at the same time, verify if and how their irregular situation interferes with their routine in the new country. In order to analyze and compare the four stories, some categories that integrate Maingueneau's Global Semantics (2005) were used: themes, vocabulary, enunciative deixis and enunciation mode. If the results reveal differences in the way of telling and evaluating the migratory experience, they also allow us to apprehend similarities, such as the primarily economic motivation to migrate, the difficulties (cultural, linguistic etc.) faced especially when arriving in the destination country and the precarious working conditions to which Brazilian migrants are submitted due to being in an irregular situation. Even though two of the interviewed subjetcts have preferred to be silent on this issue, their opinions can be implicitly identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With this article, which is anchored in the Analysis of Materialist Discourse and in its relation with the History of Linguistic Ideas, we started from a set of notes produced by Alencar for the novels Iracema and O Guarani which had as their common characteristic the explicit referencing of their sources. Our proposal was to go in search of a retrospection horizon projected in the notes in order to reflect on the (re) production and circulation of knowledge by the notes. For the analysis of the relationships between the notes and their sources, we also used Authier-Revuz's theoretical-analytical apparatus, which allowed us to observe the dynamic that is woven between what is attributed to you and the other in its different forms and functions. The analysis path undertaken allowed us to observe the author's gestures about the language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to reflect on social and communicational practices in rap battles (rhythm and poetry) in the university environment, considering the case of the Battle of the Coliseu, which takes place on the Central Campus of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), in Natal (RN). We used bibliographic research, observational method and semi-structured interviews, as well as discourse analysis to relate and discuss the data collected during the investigation. From the results obtained, we found that rap battles can be seen as cultural manifestations of a popular and counter-hegemonic character, due to the intrinsic relationship between rap music and social struggles. Furthermore, it was also noticed the need for more in-depth research on the communication phenomena observed here, in order to understand their practices as cultural manifestations of popular resistance.

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.

Thursday, February 10, 2022, "an 18-year-old student was arrested this Thursday by the Judiciary Police suspect of the crime of terrorism, as he had been planning to attack his colleagues at the Faculty of Science of the University of Lisbon for months" (Henriques et al., 2022, para. 1). A case without parallel in Portugal, in a media context characterised by immediate consumption and the growing importance of social networks and social media, such as Twitter, even in information dissemination. We start from the perception of Twitter as a relevant platform for contemporary journalism that connects information flows between parties (Bennett & Segerberg, 2012; Sadler, 2018). Some 3,577 tweets were extracted within 1 week since the occurrence from the five official Twitter accounts with the most followers of journalistic/information nature in Portugal. Of those, only 104 tweets focus on this particular case, with Correio da Manhã showing three times as many tweets as Expresso. This work uses a qualitative approach to perform a discourse analysis using word clouds, visually representing the frequency of terms. Determining the narratives, including macro and micro-narratives (Lits, 2015; Motta, 2013), serves as guidelines for identifying the macro-narrative of an attack on a faculty of the University of Lisbon. Although common in the general corpus, the terrorism narrative is not central since it is found in a nonuniform way among the five-word clouds, only identified in the word clouds of SIC Notícias, Jornal de Notícias and Correio da Manhã. The analysis seeks to help develop insights about the narratives employed to provide and construct meaning to the media coverage of this unmatched case in Portugal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has shown that cyberwarfare is integral to modern military strategies. Although the Russian army has developed cyber capabilities and capacities over the years, Ukraine has quickly created a new and innovative cyber defence that includes public and private actors. Using online communication platforms to reach out to populations, internally and externally, has been instrumental for military success. Inventive thinking has enabled the actors to utilise the online space and develop new computing tactics to defend the country. The intense online presence of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stands in clear contrast to Russian President Putin. President Zelenskyy is mastering online communication and is speaking directly to the people. Because of his constant use of virtual communication platforms, new public and private resistance movements have formed based on civic activism and a defiant stance against Russian aggression. Various non-governmental groups of hackers, hacktivists and activists have created a structure of resistance, where each has taken on a role in a nodal system depending on skills and engagement levels. This article will focus on how the Ukrainian leadership has been able to carry out a successful speech act that has activated numerous online users internally and externally. This speech act has enabled a new form of online civic activism where online actors fight with the military forces -- but mostly without being employed by the state. Within the first 40 days, this activism has proven beneficial to the existing military force to defend Ukraine. The article investigates Ukraine's role in the David and Goliath fight and how Ukraine's initiatives have helped develop its cyber defence. The research is based on secondary sources predominately based on grounded theory, where the data collected are critically compared with theoretical content. All data is theoretically sampled and analysed based on the established socio-political approaches deriving from discourse analysis. The timeframe for this research is the first 40 days of the conflict, starting on February 24 2022. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper explores elements of the national political debate on education, focusing on the authoritative references used in deliberation. The systematic identification and analysis of the intertextualities present in the debates on education that took place in the Portuguese National Assembly (ar) between 1978 and 2018, allowed to map the sources of authority used - national and international; legal and expert - and disclose structural features of the discourse on education. The results point to the existence of a discursive environment that is not very favourable to evidence-based deliberation, in which the questioning of sources of authority and the results achieved is persistent. Discourse evolves around the horizon of international comparison, with the persistence over time of the ideas of crisis and change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
