Análise crítica do discurso jornalístico sobre a implantação - Unicap

iiABSTRACT: This work aims to promote the critical discourse analysis (CDA) of a bodyof articles published in the print media, during the period of 2003 to 2006, regarding theimplementation of the quota system at Brazilian universities. It aims to present an analyticalvision of the use of language in the organization and maintenance of hegemony by socialgroups, given that the texts position the subjects involved in the process as producers andreceivers of news. By using the term ‘discourse,’ we admit the existence of ideology, evenif it is implicit, and the use of language as a social practice, and not as a purely individualactivity or even as a reflex of situational variables. This way, in the selected body of articleswe propose to examine the role of language in the reproduction of social practices andideologies, as well as identify the clues that indicate the intentions and ideas that lie withinthe texts.Keywords:CDA (critical discourse analysis); quotas; ideology, language; press.
