Os sentidos sobre Dilma Rousseff na edição 2417 da revista IstoÉ

Abstract

The present research’s work analyses the journalistic text published on the edition 2417 of the magazine IstoÉ, whose title is “Uma presidente fora de si”, and which corresponds to the publication’s cover. Starting from this textual construction, we look for the understanding of the meanings about Dilma Rousseff showed up in the magazine, considering, also, its context of production. While our main goal is to comprehend the meanings produced by the magazine about the character, our specific goals consist in analyze the discursive construction of the journalistic text related to the cover of the 2417’s edition of IstoÉ’s magazine looking for the understanding of the gender implications in the construction of the character Dilma Rousseff, besides of the observation of the voices that compose the pointed discourse. For that, we use as theoretical and methodological approach the French Discourse Analysis, whereby we look for the observation of the discursive function of these voices, in order to comprehend the legitimation strategies of the present publication. The analysis allowed us to recognize two discursive formations, presented on the elapse of this work, which are: the hysteric and the masculine; besides the mapping of the voices who compose the discourse. The analyzed elements show us that the magazine tends to orientate the textual meaning construction to a hysteric and masculine representation of Dilma Rousseff.
