In this work, we did a case study about the intertextual aspects which constitutes the
discourse about environment in a Brazilian quality newspaper monthly supplement on
Environmental Issues. The analysis of the editions published in the fist year of the
magazine allow us to make a characterization of the heterogeneity of this supplement,
so as the identification of their most important interlocutors and the most important
constitutive elements of their discourse about environment. Departing from the
framework of the critical discourse analysis we did our methodological draw; formulate
our questions and use the category of manifest intertextuality and vocabulary analysis
for generate and discuss our data. Our data indicates that the environment discourse of
the newspaper supplement creates a dialogue primarily with the political and economic
sectors of the society and use primarily discourses elements from this sectors to
constitute their discourse about environment. Beside of this, the supplement works with
the sustainability concept from the productive sectors without dialogue with the
discussion of this concept in the academic and scientific circles. In this sense, we
believe that the supplement acts like a semiotic mediator that promotes the political and
economic discourse about the environment which contributes with the establishment of
the hegemony of these sectors in the environmental field. With the possibilities of use of
this kind of texts in pedagogical contexts ,we try to contribute for the development of a
critical, view and appropriation, of this texts to improve the use of this kind of texts in
education.
