Public policies can be interpreted as the result of government decision-making, which is built on preferences expressed in parliament through political discourses. Objectives: to identify which are the preferences and objectives introduced in the agenda of the regional governments in order to deepen the role they play within the governance of the Higher Education System (SES). Methodology: through documentary analysis of the investiture discourses of four Spanish regional cases (Andalusia, Catalonia, Galicia, and Madrid), governmental preferences in Higher Education (HE) and Research and Development (R&D) between 1980 and 2021 are identified. It also describes territorial diversity and change in HES governance over time. Results: territorial variations in HES governance have been identified, as well as differences in the connection between HE and R&D issues. Conclusions: HES governance has moved towards self-regulation and state supervision, although this trend is far from being general, given that differentiated strategies are established at the regional level, some of them compatible with traditional forms of rational planning and control of the HES.

This article examines the impact of social networks on the construction of meanings around the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil in 2020 and 2021. More specifically, our objective is to analyze the virtual memorial @museudoisolamento on Instagram, observing in its emergence the forms of resignification of death and mourning generated in the face of a context of instability and of Brazilian political crisis. Through French discourse analysis, we seek to understand how this memorial became a significant linguistic event, in which it brought new senses of uniqueness, giving voice, body, and meaning to the mourners, contrary to cold statistics and official numbers.

For several decades, video games have been characterized as new forms of art and, at the same time, they are important elements of mass consumption, creating a highly successful industry with millions of fans around the world. But during its first decades of commercialization in the domestic sector, the content of video games was limited in terms of its graphic power, and its advertising resorted to the use of hand-drawn covers to better represent the game content. What is proposed is that art was used strategically to generate desire for consumption, therefore, the purpose of the work will be to reflect on the social uses of art focused on consumption, through the analysis of the discourse of some video game covers in the 1980s.

This article argues for the inclusion of verbal and nominal ellipsis in the Spanish as a Second Language classroom, mainly at intermediate and advanced levels. A qualitative analysis of Spanish textbooks and grammar manuals reveals that ellipsis processes are frequently ignored in this type of teaching materials. A succinct linguistic description of the main elliptical processes in Spanish (verbal ellipsis, nominal, fragments, and null complement anaphora) is presented and a series of sample learning activities are proposed for the practice of these constructions and their inclusion in teaching materials. At the same time, I argue for the importance of the so-called discourse grammar and of the mechanisms of discourse coherence and cohesion, of which ellipsis is an example, in the construction of complex discourse and, consequently, in the integral teaching of Spanish as a second language.

Considering the relevance that the notion of meaning presents for language studies, this article reviews the seminars and writings of Jacques Lacan with the aim of analyzing the ways in which the French psychoanalyst uses this term. We seek to review the different conceptualizations that are built around meaning to establish some points of dialogue with the approach with which discourse analysis operates. This work allows us to identify four time periods in which different theoretical frameworks are located around this category: 1953-1957, in which meaning is thought in relation to the formations of the unconscious; 1957-1964, in which it is articulated with the signifying chain and the Other; 1964-1974, in which it is differentiated from significance and characterized as a semblant, and, finally, 1974-1977, in which he is distinguished from the Real. These moments show certain continuities with respect to the elaborations that are interwoven, but also significant ruptures: while the reference to meaning as failed --by definition, all-meaning is never achieved-- remains throughout the teachings, in the last years, a leak of meaning is located that refers to a beyond, anchored in the Real, which is outside the discourse.

In this article, I discuss the various contributions to this volume. Vigh's (2009) notion of social navigation allowed me to bring together the ways in which the various contributors capture the discursive and practical agency displayed by the studied social actors in each site. Even though most of the researchers draw on the concept of 'agency', as introduced by Ahearn (2001), in order to analyse their data, some of them invoke other definitions to capture different forms of agency: individual but also collective. The methodological decisions made by most of the contributors prove that qualitative procedures and methods continue to be those most suitable for capturing the complexities around what counts as 'agentive actions and agentive discourses' in the various studied contexts. It is only by interacting with the participants of our research and spending time with them during our fieldwork that we can make sense of the life stories they recount and the decisions they make under the particular circumstances in which they (try to) live.

In recent years, the topics of insecurity, juvenile delinquency and criminal responsibility of minors appeared in numerous times at the written press in Argentina through diverse genres such as the newspaper article, the report, the opinion article or the editorial. In this paper, which takes part in a wider research carried out under the direction of Mg. Claudia Gaiotti in the framework of the Diplomatura en Ciencias del Lenguaje (I.S.P. "Dr. Joaquín V. González"), we propose a discursive approach of an opinion article about the Juvenile Justice Reform Project in Argentina, recently published in a national print media, from the francophone Discourse Analysis perspective. To accomplish this, we focus on the discursive analysis of the concessive argumentative connectives. We propose as a hypothesis that the concession introduced by argumentative connectives constitutes a discursive marker through which it is possible to recognize the locutor identities and the alterity voices. In other words, in the analysed article, the argumentative connectives related to the concession could be interpreted as a polyphonic-dialogical marker. As a continuation of this discursive analysis, we elaborate a pedagogical material oriented towards the teaching of the argumentation as a way of discourse organization at the secondary school subject Language and Literature. In this way, this article presents a dual objective: to characterize the discursive functioning of the concessive argumentative connectives and to elaborate a pedagogical projection of such issue dedicated to the secondary level.

This paper analyzes the pragmatic intensification as an argumentative strategy in the discourse delivered by the King of Spain Felipe VI on October 3rd, 2017, two days after the illegal independence referendum held in Catalonia on October 1st. The analysis of the different intensifying mechanisms, governed by the expressive and appellative functions in illocutionary and perlocutionary speech acts, shows, in the global discursive strategy, the confrontation between the constitutionalist and the independence ideologies.

This article presents a discursive analysis of Época and Istoé magazine covers published in November 2015, an effervescent period of women's protests in major Brazilian cities' streets. We propose understanding how these media discourses constitute the Women's Spring event in the correlation between images and captions, producing significance about what is seen and what is read. We establish the theoretical foundation on the interlocution between the concept of myth developed by Roland Barthes' Semiology and postulates of French Discourse Analysis about the image as a social memory operator because the media discourses challenge forms, signification, and history. The analysis demonstrates that the magazine covers present connotation procedures that move significants, atributting then historical meanings. Thus, the magazine covers recite myths such as the "youth who dreams about revolution" and activate, by analogy and association to previous images, memory trajectories that date back to the event of Arab Spring.

We examine the discursive functioning of roundtable discussions about soccer within televised sports programs. The study begins with the hypothesis that the legitimacy of arguments in these debates depends, to a significant extent, on the staging of the enunciators' image (mediator and commentators) through the way they enunciate. There are programs in which commentators disavow 'clubism' in favor of journalistic 'neutrality,' as well as programs in which commentators present themselves to the public as 'representatives' of the teams. As this research is grounded in Discourse Analysis, our aim is not to prescribe the 'appropriate' directions for soccer debates, but rather to verify how specific meanings are validated in these discourses. Drawing on Charaudeau's theoretical framework related to language as staging and seeking support from Maingueneau's and Amossy's studies concerning the concept of ethos, we analyze the programs 'Jogo Aberto' (Rede Bandeirantes) and 'Linha de Passe' (ESPN Brasil).

This article focuses on the social imaginary about women in the discourse of El Diario Austral de Temuco, a publication from Chile's Araucanía region, during the enactment of women's suffrage in the country (1935-1952). Following Potter's model of discourse analysis, the article examines the socio-imaginary constructions articulated in the factual accounts that circulated in the public arena of the local press. We find that this social imaginary was constructed along two central discursive axes: the domesticity of political participation, and the legitimacy of women's suffrage as grounded on their political contributions through the essential nature of their femininity.

In this article we present a case of misdiagnosis in mental health that started in the admission interview and lasted for a year of treatment. To interpret the causes of this error, and based on a collaborative process with the mental health team, we use two theoretical categories: “discourse” (understood as the set of semiotic and semantic regularities that correspond to a social field, as in “medical discourse”, etc.) and “voice” (understood as the singular product of the articulation between multiple discourses throughout the biographical trajectory of a person). Methodologically, we use the descriptive tools of conversation analysis in a heterogeneous corpus that goes through the different stages of diagnosis and treatment. The analysis shows the effect of psychoanalytic discourse, which selects some aspects of the patient’s voice while ignoring others, arriving at a diagnosis of conversion disorder (“hysteria”) and preventing another, of progressive aphasia. In the end, the potential of interaction studies for the diagnostic process and some implications of the case for the field of discourse analysis are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fake news as a phenomenon got attention in the 2018 election in Brazil, mainly benefiting the campaign of then-candidate Jair Bolsonaro. A parliamentary inquiry commission has begun work to investigate the incident. Three hearings of this commission will be analyzed for this research, which aims to understand the discursive disputes present in these meetings. The methodology is based on French discourse analysis and we made the discourse of deponents and parliamentarians emerge, in their interactions of dissent or consensus, from two heuristic categories of discursive processes, the positions: (1) related to the dissemination of disinformation; (2) and in relation to the 2018 election. We identified a deliberate action by the Bolsonarist's group to control the meanings of the records through the reproduction of rhetorical strategies already used in the electoral campaign and also during the Bolsonaro administration.

Advertising discourses are conceived as processes of production of meaning and symbolic significance that establish socially and culturally. The objectives of our study are based on interpreting the latent mythical foundations that are present in the discursive representation evoked by the Nike corporation. The methodology used is based on Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis and the multimodal discourse analysis approach. The conclusions corroborate that the sports celebrity acts as a cultural artifact that instrumentalizes the imaginary of the brand based on the social realities of our time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since March 2020 the world has been living in a pandemic status because of Covid- 19. This situation has created a context of political and social action to contain it. Research about covid-19 and its consequences has appear in different areas, topics and disciplines. In our case, this article explores the covid-19 situation thru discourse analysis, specifically social discourse, which is a macro analytical framework for doing discourse studies. By using this analytical path, we create narrative groups that give us the possibility to explore the social construction of sense and meaning. The three narrative groups are: government, experts and the media (traditional media). Thru an inductive methodology and using centrally a discourse analysis technic-emphasising the social aspect- the document ponders conflict, arrangement, problems, difficulties and social sense from this 2 years track on covid-19. A central conclusion about social discourse is that confirmed and stimulate social inequality and promotes social division in the country. The covid-19 phenomenon is presented as something almost incomprehensible due to the high complexity process linking epidemiology knowledge and social behaviour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the causes and characteristics of xenophobic discourse in contexts of forced migration in its different expressions from the perspectives opened by the Critical Discourse Analysis proposed by T. Van Dijk, in order to demonstrate the characteristics and scope of xenophobic discourse. cited speech in its different dimensions, the context where they are emitted and their expression as forms of sociopolitical practices. From an alternative view of the xenophobic discourse, the contributions of the ethics of hospitality are analyzed, based on its formulation in the thought of Daniel Innerarity, as a solution platform for the reception of migrants in contexts of forced migration and it is established some reflective bases for its contextualization in relation to discourses and practices present in the current reality of Colombia.

This work attempts to analyse intensification published in the Spanish media after Weinstein's case in 2017. Thus, we want to conclude to what extent the Spanish media carried the general indignation or whether, on the contrary, it prefers to adopt a neutral position. To this task, we shall divide the intensifiers into lexical, semantic and stylistics. Also, we shall make a statistical operation of the variance and hypothesis among the three types of intensification and conclude with the reasons of the results offered. In this way, we shall carry out a content analysis. Results show that the lexical and semantic examples follow a relative frequency, while stylistics do not follow a common pattern of frequency.

The aim of this article is to analyze the concept of populism using the notion of crisis as a basis. The latter described along the lines of Thomas Kuhn's idea of scientific revolutions. This allows to understand the role of crisis as generating the conditions for populism to develop -not simply as a political tendency, but as a discursive practice that allows the comprehension of deeply related concepts such as people, hegemony, and the figure of the populist leader itself. The methodology used was documentary research on relevant authors and discourse analysis. It is concluded that hegemonic governments face a populist paradox: leaders need to concentrate the demands of the people to use them for their own benefit, but, at the same time, it is unlikely that the same figure could resolve all the demands that the crisis generates.

Grounded on the dialogical perspective of language and the critical approach to the study of language teacher emotions, this paper aims to discuss the emotions of an English teacher in her remote teaching experience in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We present a case study based on the discourse analysis of the teacher's experience report during her participation in a roundtable discussion about English teaching in pandemic times. The online event took place in the first semester of 2020, during the University Week of a college located in the countryside of Ceará State, Brazil. Considering the concrete context and the broader contexts of discursive production, our analysis of the teacher's utterance indicates the predominance of emotional distress in power relations, especially, with academic, pedagogical, and legislative discourses. Notwithstanding, she reveals self-confidence in face of the demand for frequently using the computer and WhatsApp in remote language teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions from Pêcheux's Discourse Analysis, this study aims to comprehend the sense effects that emerge from excessive discursive operations of negation in narratives mobilized by overweight subjects. From the analysis, the article proposes a possibility where that excess is related to a resistance process in the discourse of those subjects. The overweight subject, interpelled by the dominant Discursive Formation (DF), cannot establish an identification with the evidences that the DF produces: the body imposes itself as a barrier to the process of identification. However, the subject does not find a possibility of identification outside the dominant DF. The process of subjectivation of the overweight subject is crossed by a negation: the subject is what he/she is not. In other words, the overweigth subject needs to be subjectified by the opposite of the evidence. This process is linearized in his/her discourse through excessive negation uses.

In this article, we carry out an analysis of discourses of reading promotion in texts that circulated in the Brazilian printed media at the beginning of the twentieth century, where there is the project and activities of the Brazilian League against Illiteracy, founded in 1915. The League actions and projects' enunciation indicates both discourses then in effect about Brazilian reading and readers and shared representations regarding the encouragement of this practice. Our goal is to describe some of those representations and their fomentation that guide the League creators' actions. For this purpose, we are supported by some principles of the Discourse Analysis and the Cultural History of Reading. Besides the consensus that still exists on Brazilians permanent reading deficit, we noticed a re-emergence of the proselytizing discourse in the reading promotion, assumed by that institution as a "holy crusade".

From the theoretical and methodological perspective of the Materialistic Discourse Analysis (PÊCHEUX, [1969] 2019; [1975] 2009), this article aims to analyze how the space is signified through discursive practices concerning the Covid-19 pandemic: the State advertising and the infrared thermometer. This way, we comprehend that there are two models of space management: the drama setting, related to disciplinary power and biopolitics (FOUCAULT, [1975] 2010; [1978] 2008); and the war zone, related to the society of control (DELEUZE, 1992) and to the necropolitics (MBEMBE, 2018). In addition, it is possible to observe that space regulation, in the context of fighting the pandemic, has a differential in relation to the categories of class, sex, gender, and race.

In 2013, Brazil saw the emergence of several political groups identified with right-wing politics and united against the left and the Worker's Party consecutive administration. This paper investigates the characteristics of this phenomenon in northeastern Brazil to understand how right-wing militancy discursively organizes its identity and that of groups it chooses as antagonists. Based on discourse analysis, the study analyzes transcripts of interviews conducted with nine members of this militancy. Categories such as conservative, liberal and libertarian were used by the interviewees as self-identifying positions. How they describe these categories reveals the plurality of the political right, highlighting its complexity and contradictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work is framed within the general objective of understand how Hugo Chávez and the MBR200 achieved to dispute the hegemony in crisis in Venezuela during the 90'. Within a gramscian approach to the theories of Hegemony, we published a series of papers that address this dispute thematically and chronologically. In this article we focus on the final period, 1996-1998, with two specific studies: the conformation of the Patriotic Pole in the framework of the political-organizational articulations, and the analysis of the campaign discourse in the framework of the ideological-discursive articulations. In order to complement these analysis of previous periods and topics, we understand that Chávez's triumph in the 1998 elections was due to a strategy of impugnation-polarization, and the organizational as well as ideological-discursive articulation which managed to conform an identity around his figure and the Constituent Assembly.

This study moves through the environment of Brazilian public universities in two periods of our republic - in the 1960s, after the military coup of 1964, and in the post-institutional coup in 2016. The objective is to understand the functioning of the discourse about the university in periods of strong threat to democracy, when, not by chance, the economic system pressures states to carry out reforms in sectors such as education and health. Thus, anchored in Discourse Analysis with a Pecheutian (PÊCHEUX, 2014; ORLANDI, 2012; SILVA SOBRINHO, 2018) bias, the article focuses on a memory that is updated whenever the hegemonic class is threatened, leading to the advance of state authoritarianism. In this context, the public university, as a space of plurality of ideas and resistance, is one of the main targets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
