From a historical perspective, this work aims to gather and highlight the political events that propelled the perception of the colonized Irish people and their search for freedom, through the W. B. Yeats’ drama The Countess Cathleen, published and performed by the end of the 19th century. The religious aspects that fostered the nationalist movements in Ireland and later the nationalist literary movements are fundamental elements to our analysis, developed in the first part of this work. By analyzing its colonial past, from the presence of the Celtic peoples to the establishment of English supremacy in Ireland, we observe how the Irish people dealt with and sought their identity in the past, resignifying their religion, language and literature in seeking for their independence. This review of the events that culminated in the nationalist projects of the 19th century is crucial to understand the conception moment of the chosen work for analysis. Given the historical context prior to the publication of the play, the second part of this work situates the place and the role Yeats had in the literary production that came to influence the political events after its first staging in Dublin in 1899. Moving to a more specific analysis, we elucidate some of the elements that illustrate the colonial context of Ireland, present in Yeats' allegories. Manifested in the text, the religious syncretism which was established as a pillar of Irish identity is discussed based on the interaction among Celtic and Christian elements, present in the characters lines and in the mystical figures and martyrs, which together compose a dramatic narrative that goes beyond words.

This work aims to read Arnaldo Santos’s novel A casa velha das margens. It intends to reflect about the cultural shock that happens during the narrative, with focus on the protagonist Emídio Mendonça’s displacement and crossing. Based on the mimicry’ concept formulated for Homi Bhabha (1998), we draw attention to the ambiguous position of the main character. When he believes in a negative vison about himself –repeated by the colonizer’s speech – Emídio starts to long the European white’s place. Because the cultural imposition, he is not an Angolan or Portuguese. Based on the Antônio Mendonça’s character, we also discuss about the Portuguese colonialism’s specificities, that sometimes shows the Prospero’s (colonizer) assertiviness and segregation, sometimes takes on Caiban’s (colonized) features. We explored, lastly, the shock between the oral culture and writing culture to achieve recognition. To develop our reflection, we compared the mucanadas ambaquistas (letters) with the ruin’s image; shown by Walter Benjamin in his studies.

The present thesis is a result of a research developed between 2018 and 2020 on Letters Master’s Degree Program at Federal University of São João del-Rei about of a fake news. The research problem addressed is constituted by the superficial description that the journalistic media makes of fake news, considering different language phenomena as if they were a single process. Hence, this results in analyzes and interpretations of fake news without well-defined and clear enunciative criteria, with newspapers being the main responsible for this non-characterization, since they do not explain their criterion (s) in the naming of utterances as fake news. What the recent fake news point out is the alteritarian and passionate process that forms between subject-utterancer and subject-interlocutor, which allows us to analyze the fake news phenomenon based on the theoretical discussion of Bakhtin's Circle, in a dialectic-dialogic way. Thus, this thesis is justified due to the noncareful journalistic description of fake news statements to have made it possible, as we analyzed in this paper, that subject-candidates-to-the-presidency-of-Brazil put themselves in subject-journalist place to emulate false information as true ones. Hence, we aim on this paper to analyze, based on Bakhtin Circle’s philosophy of language, especially, through pravda and istina concepts, the responsive process in which candidates for the presidency of Brazil emulate fake news in the 2018 elections. Methodologically, from the 2018 candidates’ campaign, we selected two utterances of two candidates-subject¸ in two different events, since both were reported by news media as being fake news. Furthermore, in order to describe and interpret the utterancy process of the presidency-candidates that created these utterance-fake, we settled three criteria to define the fake news and distinguish them from others enunciative processes. About the theoretical reference, we start from Bakhtin and the Circle of Bakhtin discussions about language to settle a dialog with others language theories, such as Roxo and Melo (2018) and Alcott and Gentzkow (2017), which allowed us to conceive fake news as a news intentionally false, verifiable and with aim to mislead the electors by emulating as a true news. The ultimate result of our analyze point out, based in criteria aforementioned and in one of our specific objectives, that in only one event analyzed there is, indeed, a production of a fake news, whereas the other utterance does not exhibit the same enunciative characteristics.

The remix Pride (2018), by Ibi Zoboi, and the mashup Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2009), by Seth Grahame-Smith, are contemporary rewritings which adapt Jane Austen’s quintessential Pride and Prejudice (1813), published more than two centuries ago. The aim of this dissertation is to verify how the feelings of pride and prejudice are perpetuated in these works and in which ways the intermedial procedures remix and mashup, resources originally used in the musical field, contribute for this to occur. In our investigation, we will verify how the movement of those creative procedures from music to literature happens. We will analyze the mentioned works in order to comprehend how such procedures attach themselves into the narratives and which relations are established in the use of such medial tools in literary rewriting, observing possible similarities and differences from their uses in music. To do so, we will rely on Intermedial Studies (Clüver, Rajewsky, Rippl, Elleström), adaptation and appropriation studies (Hutcheon, Sanders), and on the notions of remix (Navas, Gunkel) and mashup (Navas and Harrison, Souza, Voigts).

The present study is connected in the theoretical assumptions of the Semantics of Enunciation. It contributes to the discussion of the concept of nominal formation and enunciate, since this investigative approach handles with different meanings, derived from the most distinct writing occurrences. In the case of this paper, writing occurrences is materially articulated in a language extract, i.e., when entering enunciation, linguistic structures establish relations that determine their effects of meaning. Hence, the focus of this research is based on the following questions, which were fundamental for the delimitation of the general research objective. What referential perspectives are connected in the nominal formations (NF) that constitute the words about the female overweight body, and what meaning effects do these NFs produce, in addition to the statement structure? Essentially, our main aim is investigating the different meaning effects, arising from the nominal formations that constitute the enunciates about the female body, observing how the historical-social attributes acts in the enunciation of these forms and establish the representation of such body. In light of this, we analyze the enunciative action to develop the meanings about the female body, considering the thematic framework of beauty, the referential perspectives, the functioning of negation and the argumentative directions which guide and rewrite the aforesaid body. The selection of the research corpus was carried out through the web search engine Google, applying the methodological process of enunciative networks (DIAS, 2018). Therefore, our analysis allowed us to verify that, by constructing a continuum of meaning, which track the meaning effects of NFs that rewrite the female body, the corpus used demanded an interpretation of statements that organized distinct meanings and sayings about the body. This interpretation, consecutively, connected with the rewriting process, offers an orientation of meaning which claims a less oppressive look at the representation of the female body, that currently state the reference of beaty in a perspective of well-being. Regarding the denial process, it maintains, in interface with its affirmative counterpart, the argumentative orientation about the female body and the two procedures of saying, the denial and the affirmations, offers mechanisms of search for social belonging for such body.

The research analyzes the sociodiscursive imaginary about the housing allowance of magistrates projected by Folha de S. Paulo. The corpus consists of eight news items published throughout 2018. The theoretical-methodological framework is based on Patrick Charaudeau's Semiolinguistic Theory; for the investigation we used as support the analysis grid proposed by Mendes, making possible an interrelation between the semiolinguistic theory with the studies on Polemic of Ruth Amossy, among other authors. Based on the Charaudean conception, the press reverberates with sociodiscursive imagery, which attributes to legal actors, in general, arguments based on knowledge and knowledge of belief conditioned to the illegality / legality imagery; immorality / morality associated with the Judiciary. Through the analysis, it is possible to affirm that the theme of housing assistance addressed by the journalists of the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper corroborates the construction of the controversy, because it opposes speeches, promotes social polarization, tending to disqualify opponents in a communicative situation. The controversy, therefore, is an enactment of the debate, the confrontation and the controversial game based on the aims of attracting and credibility. In this perspective, the subject requires greater debate and reflection with Brazilian society, in view of the contradictions of the benefit and on the part of its members. This ends up weakening judicial institutions and legal actors, as well as Brazilian democracy.

The object of investigation of this dissertation is composed of seventeen photographs of women who have bruises on their bodies. These women hold signs on which are written musical verses, which, in turn, depict the physical aggression they suffered. The photographs were used in the campaign called Música: uma construção de gêneros, carried out by the Secretariat of Policies for Women, in the city of São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul. The objective of the research was to make a multimodal analysis of the imagery content related to the verbal content and, thus, verify the discourses that emerge, that are (de) constructed, that are (re) articulated and legitimized. The Grammar of Visual Design, by Kress and Van Leeuwen (2006), supported the analysis of the photographs, with a multimodal approach. For the textual analysis, Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (2001) was used, applying the categories of Intertextuality and Interdiscursivity and, finally, the Musical Critical Analysis, supported by the perspective of Van Leeuwen (2012) and by French theory focused on the musical enunciator, completes the theoretical reference of this work. After this scientific investigation, it was concluded that, in the musical context of the campaign, the action reveals the various chauvinist and sexist discourses and the violence of genders that go unnoticed by many people. This happens due to the musical artifacts that disguise the power relations present there, hide the brutality of violence against women and function as an ideological deception. The campaign's initiative managed to alert society — still patriarchal — about the perpetuation and naturalization of such speeches and how they can influence the individual's actions.

This master's thesis analyzes the Realism of Eça de Queirós as a literary document of the memory of one of the substantial thinkers in the political and identity formation of Portugal. We aim to analyze the mutual relations between historical value and cultural progress in Portugal of the 19th century. It analyzes Uma Campanha Alegre, published in 1890 containing the chronicles from As Farpas (1871); A Relíquia (1887); and A Cidade e As Serras (1901), and some conferences of the literary group “The Seventies Generation”. Aiming to discuss the correlations between literary studies and social analysis, we use the theories of Luiz Costa Lima (2002) and Antonio Candido (2006) to verify the interrelationships between Literature and Society in the composition of the Realist novels. Furthermore, to understand the influence of Portugal's history on Queirosian literature, as well as on the formation of a national identity in literary Realism, we have recurred to the concepts of "alma nacional" and "autognose" discussed by the philosopher Eduardo Lourenço (2016), and the historian Ernest Renan's (1888) thesis about the formation of a national identity. Considering that the basis of the literary Realism are extended by Eça de Queirós' observation and social memory, we are supported by Émile Zola's (1881) theory of “The experimental novel”, as well as on Maurice Halbwachs' (1990) studies on individual memory as a historical testimony, and Carlo Ginzburg's conception of the Microhistory (2006; 2007) that supports the possibility of the literary documents.

Due to the new meanings of the word “slut” in terms of valuing women, which emerged from the Slutwalk, in editions that took place from 2011 to 2018 in Brazil, we elected the nomination “slut” as the object for study. Our theoretical contribution to this study is the assumptions presented by the Semantics of Enunciation. As this word has productions of different and sometimes opposite meanings, the noun "slut" is useful in the perception of the political operating in the language. Hence, in broad terms, our main aim is the reflection about enunciative assemblies, politically configured, which are performed concerning the (re)meaning of such a word. In order to develop the analysis that we propose, we search for texts that discuss the women’s history. Moreover, we collected the corpus through search on the Google database, and Twitter and YouTube platforms, looking for historical referentiality that attach the regularization of the pejorative meaning of the noun "slut", fought by the walks, as well as statements that build a new referentiality, the women's freedom. Ultimately, we present the movements of meaning about the social representation of women, marked by the meaning of freedom rewritten as a slut, i.e., we analyzed the politics operating in the language through the political subject.

In this research, we analyzed the constructions of the Citizen Ethos that circulate in the opinion pieces produced by students from public schools for the Portuguese Language Olympiad (PLO) based on the conditions of production, interdiscourses, identity and citizenship. To this end, we based our research on the convergence point between Discursive Studies and Semantic Studies of Enunciation, which understand the language, simultaneously, not only as data for materiality, but also a set of historically expressed statements. In this conjuncture, we took as object of study the discursivities and the meanings production about citizenship in the PLO, highlighting the competitors’ ethos and identity in their way of saying about the city where they live. Thus, the relevance of our studied object is based on the investigation of the ways of being and acting portrayed by students as social beings who represent the place where they live through the opinion piece genre. We believe that this investigation will lead us to the perception of different stereotypes that circulate in the genre produced by the students, in a way that from diverse representations of the self, constructed by the students, it is possible to analyze the identities that emerge from the productions, the meanings that cross them, as well as the interdiscourses that build them.

This Master’s Thesis presents a case study of Jantar Secreto (2016), written by Raphael Montes, in which the main theme revolves around cannibalism. The aim of this work was to associate excerpts from the novel to aspects of the contemporary world which endorses this narrative. Jantar Secreto (2016) is filled with hyperbolic elements, which reveals themselves through suspense, the horror, and the grotesque. A parallel between the narrative and Rubem Fonseca’s literary works was established and it revealed that Fonseca had a strong influence on Montes’ writings, especially in short stories such as Anjos da Marquises, published in the collection Confraria das Espadas (1986), and Nau Catrineta, part of book Feliz Ano Novo (1975). Then, a historical background about Anthropophagy in Brazil was traced, from its historical and cultural aspects in indigenous communities, to the Anthropophagic Movement, its presence in literature, and its contemporary representations in the Arts, in which it assumes a position of criticism and denounce, besides drawing attention to problems related to the social inequality inherited from the colonization process in Brazil. Thus, it became clear that some elements from literary fiction, namely cannibalism, organs traffic and social inequality producing violent situations, are common in a real life that is characterized by a post-modern discontent, a consequence of the necropolitics promoted by neoliberal systems. Finally, the presence of cannibalism in different forms of artistic expressions was underlined, and it indicated that society is becoming more interested in this topic, even though its representation acquires new meanings depending on the subjectivity of the artist/author. However, most of the times, cannibalism holds a critical bias in literary, social, and political spheres.

The thematization of the woman's body from the perspective of deconstructing paradigms related to beauty and behavior has been present in the public and private spheres. Such aspects seem to be under review and the narrative that promotes the perfect or ideal body has been giving place to self-acceptance proposals and reconstruction of identities. Considering the context in which social networks operate under the reformulation of what “being a woman” is, as an object of study, we analyzed the profile on Instagram of the digital influencer Mirian Bottan. We investigated how the creation of self-narratives in social networks allows women to occupy new social spaces, in addition to objectifications and other tensions such as the centralization of their identities. To compose the corpus of the analysis, were selected posts – images and captions – from the profile of Mirian Bottan that approach the question of bodies and behaviors, having as reference the theoretical contributions of Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler, Naomi Wolf, Susan Sontag, Philippe Lejeune, among other authors. Thus, we discuss how, in contemporary times, such posts can act in the process of reconstructing women's identities and foment new forms of narratives.

Through this work, is intended to raise a proposal for reading – and its justification – of some of the Lima Barreto's works as self-fictional productions. Motivated by the perception of the late critical reception of his work, the analysis here brought aims to realize an investigative path that permeates studies about madness, under a comparative look between both humanist and illuminist philosophical thoughts; of the self writings, under the consideration that it is inherent to them a process of self-fictionalization; and self-fiction, reflecting, from the understandings of its concepts, on the possibilities of categorization of the works analyzed here. The literary texts brought here as object of study are Diário do Hospício (2017) and Cemitério dos vivos (2017), both written by Lima Barreto during the periods during which the author was admitted to an asylum in Rio de Janeiro, under the diagnosis of hallucinations caused by alcoholism.

In a multidisciplinar dialogue with historical and cultural studies, this research takes a discursive perspective, highlighting the social and linguistic materiality, as well as a constructivist look to society in order to investigate how female domestic workers are represented on the Facebook page called Eu, Empregada doméstica, reporting the way work goes through social life, according to (re)presented comments in a social media page. We propose to question, through the Critical Discourse Analysis, the way the female domestic workers’ reports are constituted on the fanpage Eu, empregada doméstica, created by the ex-domestic worker, teacher and rapper Preta Rara, as well as the identity of those female workers on the page. The problem of discrimination, exploration and (in)visibility of the workers is showed in this discursive study, in which is also used some contribuitions from cultural studies and Sociology so we can reflect about domestic work. Considering the constructivist perspective of society and culture, anchored by the studies of the sociologist Anthony Giddens, this work forsees the speech(es), that comprehend, according to Fairclough (2001), the use of language as a social practice, and points to the way we see the world and (re)signify it. With this in mind, we use the proposed by Fairclough (2001; 2003) and of some main concepts of this work, as the acional, representation and identification to handle the object, and some procedures to the textual analysis are essential to the analysis, without losing sight of the tridimensional proposal from critical discursive analysis with the perspective of the meanings that, highlighting the reports. Therefore, will be analysed the social practices that reflect and reconstruct wider social historical standards presente on the reports, considering that the reports are discursive practices about housemaids. When dealing with the manings, we notice the significant presence of housemaid’s sayings that “speaks” about herself. Sometimes there is the narrative of the other’s story, while a social denoucement to the housemaid’s condition with whom they lived with. We work, therefore, with the implications of these sayings and how they are manifested.

This thesis approaches BNCC as discourse, based upon the relationship between language and ideology. It shows how the text of the document produces effects of meaning upon BNCC itself and upon education. In other words, the thesis consolidates the idea that discourse intervenes in the real and constitutes reality. Our objective was to comprehend the effects of meaning upon BNCC produced in / by the text of the document in its relationship with the meaning of education. To approach these effects, we used as theoretical and methodological reference Michel Pêcheux’s Discourse Analysis, especially Pêcheux’s idea, discussed in AAD-69, that discourse is not transmission of information, but effects of meaning between speakers. We also discussed neoliberal rationale and economization (DARDOT; LAVAL, 2016. LAVAL, 2019. ANDRADE, 2019) to help us comprehend the effects of meaning upon education in / by BNCC. The object of the research is the BNCC approved by the Minister of Education Rossieli Soares da Silva in 2018, which included Ensino Medio elements and, thus, encompasses all Brazilian Basic Education. We identified discursive sequences in the document which were analyzed alternating between description of linguistic material and interpretation. The analysis identified an effect of truth in which BNCC is represented as educational quality by means of an authoritarian discourse that aims at controlling meaning. Besides, we identified an apparent contradiction between homogeneity and heterogeneity.The term apparent refers to the fact that in spite of an appeal to heterogeneity and to diversity, the document ends up reinforcing homogeneity, thus restricting diversity. This apparent contradiction contributes to an effect of curricular centralization, thus corroborating the representation of BNCC as educational equality and as overcoming of educational “problems”. These effects of meaning upon BNCC also signify education as BNCC itself. As discourse, BNCC, in its relationship with neoliberal rationale, intervenes in the real and constitutes both quality and equality in education as BNCC itself, a process in which we can identify an economization of education.

The main objective of the present work is to carry out a critical analysis of the discursive representations of the phenomenon of femicide in two online journalistic portals, namely G1 and Brasil de Fato. This investigation is relevant since Brazil was recently classified as having the fifth highest rate of femicide in the world according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which demonstrates the seriousness of this social problem in the country. The media integrates symbolic power and, through the production of media products, distributes symbolic forms in society, making people use the resources made available by it to establish their understanding of the world (THOMPSON, 1998). Discourse, on the other hand, consists of a practice of representation and meaning of the world, constituting and constructing the world in meaning (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001). Therefore, the relevance of the media in the formation of public opinion justifies the interest in studying social phenomena through a media bias. On the other hand, investigating the issue of femicide from a discursive perspective allows the observation of how aspects of language intersect with broader social structures, enabling the understanding of which discourses on femicide have circulated widely in Brazilian society. Furthermore, femicide is a crime motivated by gender issues, which makes the discussion about gender, patriarchy and social roles a central aspect of this research. From a theoretical-methodological point of view, we rely mainly on the critical discourse analysis proposed by Fairclough (1995, 2001, 2003) to carry out this research, also mobilizing some assumptions from Systemic-Functional Linguistics and Corpus Linguistics. Starting from a small corpus (cf. SINCLAIR, 2001) and with the support of data collected through the AntConc program (ANTHONY, 2019), we sought to explain the lexical relations built with the keyword femicide, in order to understand which Discourse orders the term is being listed, as well as describing its use and thematic associations in the G1 and Brasil de Fato portals. To make the analysis feasible, we first turned our attention to language, starting from the standardization of the femicide keyword and, later, relating its use to textual cohesion. The analysis of the conditions of production, distribution and consumption of texts was also part of the analysis, based on the mapping of the characteristics of the studied vehicles, paying attention to the institutional and social context of the media, through the observation of power relations and ideology present in the discourses on the themes that are evoked in the corpus. Through this investigation, it was possible to affirm that the semantic profile of the femicide keyword presents differences when we observe the two portals G1 and Brasil de Fato. While in the G1 portal, femicide is mainly linked to the criminal and police discursive field, focused on a factual perspective of the phenomenon, in the Brasil de Fato portal the discourse of militancy and a sociological discourse are activated, focused on the discussion of femicide as a social problem, seeking a critical analysis of the issue and the need to combat this type of crime.

This present study has as its theme the hate speech in opposition to the freedom of expression on the Analysis of the Legal Discourse and the case of the natives that occurred with the federal deputy JairMessiasBolsonaro, current president of the Republic in Brazil. This master's thesis seeks to portray the structure of the speech and how he was acquitted in the face of a clearly xenophobic and racist phrase and expression issued by the deputy who was understood to be a speech that was not endowed with crime because it was in a political campaign and that it was not possible maintain a conviction in this regard. Several questions arise within this constitution of discourse analysis, and for this reason, the development of this thesis is based on investigating and presenting arguments that reflect the need to limit freedom of expression in order to prevent cases of hate speech in Brazil. Within this conception, this thesis was divided into four chapters. The first chapter is based on the structure of the judiciary in the Federal Constitution of 1988. Subsequently, it examines the Critical Discourse Analysis, considering a theoretical-methodological approach of the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), its basic concepts, the three-dimensional model exposed by the author Norman Fairclough, in addition to appreciating about the means and symbols of power and ways of operationalizing ideology. Also in this same chapter, it is a question of investigating and succinctly presenting the argumentative operators and intertextuality and, finally, the Critical Analysis of Legal Discourse. In chapter three it is inferred to elucidate about hate speech versus freedom of expression. And finally, considering the previous analysis before a summary of the object of analysis that refer to the actions that was judged JairMessiasBolsonaro and the case of natives. The methodology used is based on considering a qualitative analysis, highlighting the doctrines and scientific articles duly published, sharing their understandings and positions that, invariably, are exposed in a political, social, and legal way in relation to the case in question, in addition to documentally review the processes in the judiciary that analyzed the deputy's conduct. The construction of the text was entirely based on the authors' considerations, and, in the end, the author's position is highlighted to seek to build a more adequate Brazilian scenario due to hate speech crimes.

Abstract
Margaret Atwood wrote The Edible Woman (in Portuguese, A Mulher Comestível), her first novel, between the spring and summer of 1965. The novel would only be published four years later, in 1969, for marketing reasons, since her first book of poems, published a few years earlier, proved itself to be a success in sales. In The Edible Woman, we get to know some female characters for whom marriage and motherhood seem to be the main female experiences. Marian, the main character, is undecided about choosing between a marriage that promises a future in which she will get restricted to the realms of domestic life and a job that does not value her skills. In this context, a crisis begins in which, unconsciously to her, Marian's body seems to take control of her actions through a refusal to consume food. The main character's crisis seems to be linked with the oppression imposed by the patriarchy, combined with the exploitation inherent in the capitalist economic system. Based on this, I propose to relate the plot of The Edible Woman to some theories of Feminist Criticism, associated with Marxist Studies, in order to reflect on the possibilities of choices for women in a patriarchal and capitalist society.

Nowadays is common to hear that “being different is normal”, but it was not always the case. Growing up hearing that a type of behavior was wrong, even when it seem to make sense; feeling overwhelmed in a placed that should be fun; realizing that, maybe, what many consider “normal” does not apply to the same situations when in comes to your life… it was like that that Marguerite, the main character of The Invisible Difference, a graphic novel written by Julie Dachez and illustrated by Mademoiselle Caroline, found out she was autistic. And its publication made the opening of a new layer of understanding and discussion about the topic possible. The present research has its focus on the comprehension of the construction of the identity of the autistic individual by the means of autobiographic writing, showing the importance of representation in media. Besides that, a study about the history of the Autistic Spectrum Disorder was conducted, with the intention of contextualizing how the perception of the spectrum was changing over time and with the growth of publications from autistic individuals sharing their experiences and lives. The use of images in the graphic novel was also a point of discussion of the validity of this recourse in the dissemination of information about autism to different types of spectators. The research was organized in three chapters, covering the history of autism, the identity and autobiography and the analysis of the work The Invisible Difference. With that, is expected for the reader to not only learn more about the theme, but also to feel embraced by it.

This essay raises the hypothesis that the book-report is a journalistic-literary device that builds social memory, as it circumvents the permanence of the mass press. For this, a critical reading of the Holocausto Brasileiro, by Daniela Arbex, is made. The central theme of this research is how journalism and literature are linked and how both work for the social memory's construction. For this, we analyze this relationship, contextualizing this encounter, but between research and narration and between text and image. Thus, we unfold the possibility of investigating how a book report is a relevant component in the construction of the history and memory of our society.

Access to land in Brazil is located in an arena of semantic dispute where nominations emerge and constitute conflicting points of view (PÊCHEUX [1969], 1997) with each other and that seek to (re)signify the subjects and the referent according to different perspectives of the world. Therefore, in the present dissertation, we investigate, in a quali-quantitative way, the conflict of nominations regarding agrarian reform constituted in the ideological clash between landless subjects and rural landowners in the period of the New Brazilian Republic (1985 to 2019), focusing on the constitution of social knowledge circulating in and by civil society. Therefore, our data are formed by 88 (eighty-eight) texts produced by the Brazil’s Landless Workers Movement (MST) and the New Right in 4 (four) distinct moments of this period of national history: the first encompasses what we understand to be the institution of the New Republic and the political organization of the social actors evaluated (1985 to 1989); the second considers the growing state and national elite adherence to neoliberal economic policy and the deepening of the capitalist agricultural model (1990 to 1999); the third contemplates the intensification of neoliberalism (2000 to 2009); finally, the fourth comprises the recent historical context characterized by the strengthening of New Right ultraneoliberalism on the public scene and by authoritarian practices of persecution of social movements (2010 to 2019). In this way, we link to the interface between the conceptions of discourse, imaginary and ideology in the materialistic Analysis of Discourse (PÊCHEUX [1969], 1997; ORLANDI, 1987), the lexicometric approach in Née ( 2017), the studies of nominalization in Siblot (1997; 2001) and the contributions to the enunciative analysis of nominalization in Dahlet (2015) and Guilbert (2020) to investigate the ways of naming - in which nominalizations are included - the land and the social actors involved in the meanings of land reform. Furthermore, we analyze the discursive construction of legitimacy, authority, and credibility of the social practices of these two groups. With this, we aim to contribute to the field of discourse studies on the theme, considering this asynchronous, yet contemporary, dialogue between distinct discursive positions on land as a privileged theoretical and methodological procedure to observe the meanings of land reform and the implications that the conflicts between the nominations bring to the political debate. With this in mind, we organize our research in three chapters, namely: Chapter 1 outlines a historical background on land distribution/concentration and on the land reform debate in the country; Chapter 2 is aimed at the development of our theoretical-methodological perspective for the analysis of the public debate on land reform; Chapter 3 brings the analyses of the semantic conflict of nominations and the process of resignification of land reform between MST and New Right in the New Brazilian Republic (1985 to 2019).
