SUMMARY:

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).
