Abstract The objective of this study was to reveal how refugees who live in Brazil perceive the macro-dynamics of the local society and how their response to them varies in accordance with their different psycho demographic profiles. We interviewed 24 refugees from different countries, genders, ages, and races. The interviews were taped, transcribed, and subjected to critical discourse analysis, resulting in three a priori categories: social, discursive, and textual practices. We found out that social practices did differ in terms of their countries of origin, gender, and race. The analysis of their discourses revealed three different places and roles: hero, victim, or faker. Finally, the textual analysis indicated the choice of words that subverted the hegemonic discourse of refugees, revealing resistance to the place refugees are relegated to in Brazilian society.

Inspired by studies on emerging literacy, which indicate the importance of interactional processes and discursive practices in the constitution of the literate subject, in this article, we propose a discussion about oral discursive practices involving interactional situations between a Brazilian child and its different interlocutors. In this perspective, we highlight the practices in which there is the presence of printed materials containing fictional narratives mediating the interactions. The set of data considered in the study is part of a broader research proposal, involving the “narrative path” of ‘E’, this child. The collected material has a longitudinal and naturalistic character, being composed of daily filming done by the parents. Among the data, we separate records corresponding to the second year of life of ‘E’. Our preliminary analyzes highlight a predominance of interactional situations and oral discursive practices involving children’s storybooks and classic children’s literature texts read to ‘E’, mainly by the mother. From the theoretical references to which we are affiliated, we understand that the establishment of these practices is the key to the child’s “capture” (LEMOS, 2002) for this symbolic universe and for their entry into the functioning of the language, marked both by their gestures, vocalizations, and speech, as well as the adult’s interpretation and their relation to the narrated history

The investigation which we propose is concerned with the analysis of the concept of dialectics at sophists, at Socrates in the dialogs of Plato and at Aristotle. As art of controversy (at sophists), as methods of discovering the truth together with the interlocutors (at Socrates), as theory of the commonplaces of the predicables which help us carry out the debates well (at Aristotle), dialectics posed an interest from a theoretical perspective (How it is possible to understand the influencing of others to adhere to our own ideas?), but also from the perspective of discursive practice (How it is possible to succeed in determining others to adhere to our own ideas?). Each of these three important moments of Classical Greek dialectics brings some particularities which reveals the virtues, but also the limits of this art, of which Schopenhauer thought that it can make us "be always right".

This article sets the objective of reflecting on cultural action and its interpretative grid on a daily basis. It addresses the question of cultural and linguistic diversity in the Algerian school context in order to explain the cultural phenomena identified in the discursive practices of learners. The analysis that we propose targets the strategies of developing cultural action in a chosen support - the caricature. This aims at exploiting the facts evoked in a humorous way by the means of the theater of situation which answers a contract established on the basis of iconographic entertainment by treating a didactic sequence namely the nursery rhyme.

This article focuses on “privilege utterances” in online feminist activism: I call “privilege utterances” the discursive practice of listing sex, class, race etc. privileges that one has (or does not have) in order to situate one’s own speech regarding the oppressions one may suffer or inflict. First, I will describe the form and the pragmatic effects of these utterances and I will explain the different feminist movements in which they are rooted. Secondly, I will criticize these discursive practices of identity production. I will show that privilege utterances are based on the illusion of a unitary and autonomous subject and thus partially fail to achieve situated discourses.

This article studies the modalities of the intersection between magazines and literature in Quebec, a meeting that must be examined through a systematic lens that takes into account the entire ensemble of forms, discourses, and practices that compose the modern media regime while at the same time addressing the historicity of literary phenomena. The article pays particular attention to the actors and practices underlying discursive economy, and focuses on La Revue moderne in the 1950s, a decade that, in magazine studies, has been rarely examined and on which this article seeks to cast an illuminating light. From three groups of texts, the article seeks to show how La Revue moderne may be understood as a crucible for literature, inscribed in middlebrow culture, in which discursive practices and a variety of poetic experimentations interact with, influence, and question one another in the characteristic polyphony of the media matrix.

Este artigo objetiva apresentar uma análise discursiva da telenovela Senhora do Destino (Rede Globo, 2004-2005). A postura construcionista, aliada a uma leitura feminista, permitiu compreender a noção de lesbianidade como uma construção social na qual os discursos e a linguagem empregados variam segundo o contexto social e histórico específico. O foco de análise se deu a partir das práticas discursivas, entendidas como linguagem em ação, sempre múltiplas, situadas e dialógicas. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontam para um duplo efeito na introdução da temática lesbianidade na novela. Se, de um lado, o processo de assimilação da categoria lésbica provoca uma maior "familiarização" na sociedade, bem como a circulação de códigos/modelos propiciam a legitimação de relações afetivo-sexuais entre pessoas do mesmo sexo, de outro, o modo como ocorrem os processos de legitimação/aceitação não propicia uma desestabilização de normas sociais e de modelos hegemônicos.This article aims to present a discursive analysis of the soap opera Senhora do Destino (Rede Globlo, 2004-2005). The constructionist perspective together with a feminist reading allowed to understand the notion of lesbianity as a social construction in which the discourses and the language adopted vary according to the social and historical context. The analysis was centered on discursive practices, understood as language in action, always multiple, situated and dialogical versions of conversation. The results of this research suggest parallel effects of the introduction of the issue of lesbianity in the soap opera. On one hand, the process of assimilation of the lesbian category provokes a broader "familiarity" in society, as well as the presence of codes/models that allow the legitimacy of same sex relations. On the other hand, the legitimizing/acceptance processes occur in ways that do not provoke the destabilization of social norms and hegemonic models.

Neste estudo, buscou-se compreender os efeitos da discriminação racial na identidade e subjetividade de mulheres negras atendidas no programa SOS Racismo/Porto Alegre/RS. Essa pesquisa fundamentou-se em um grupo dispositivo, cujo objetivo foi ouvir as narrativas das mulheres que sofreram atos de racismo/discriminação e agenciar outras referências identitárias. O referencial teórico-metodológico utilizado para analisar o material empírico produzido nos grupos foi o das práticas discursivas, entendidas como a forma pela quais as pessoas produzem sentidos para experiências como as da violência racial. Os repertórios interpretativos presentes nos diálogos enunciados pelas mulheres referiam-se à discriminação racial e ao racismo e sinalizavam a construção de estratégias de enfrentamento e resistência. Acreditamos que a intervenção produziu efeitos políticos de reflexão e mudança, na medida em que o grupo construiu novos sentidos para as violências sofridas, transformando a narrativa pessoal em uma denúncia pública.In this study, we investigated the effects of racial discrimination on the identity and subjectivity patterns of black women assisted through the SOS Racism Program in Porto Alegre/RS. The research was based on a discussion group whose objective was to listen to the women's narratives of racial discrimination and agency other identity references. The theoretical and methodological support used to analyze the information was the discursive practice. This practice refers to the way by which people produce meaning in social interactions, like experiences of racial violence. The interpretative repertoires used by the women in the group dialogues were about racial discrimination and racism and pointed to the construction of resistance strategies. We believe that this intervention produces political effects of reflection and change, in the way that the group worked out new meanings for the violence suffered, changing from a personal narrative to a public denounce.

Neste texto realizamos um exercício teórico estudando a situação de homens que cometem violência contra mulheres. Buscando pesquisar como as pessoas se posicionam e são posicionadas em práticas de poder e jogos de verdade, pressupomos ser imprescindível compreender os recursos discursivos e não-discursivos que instauram, constroem e mantêm uma prática, no caso a de violência às mulheres. Colocamos em discussão a atenção dada aos homens autores de violência nas diretrizes governamentais, dando ênfase a Lei Maria da Penha, concluindo que temos em jogo duas direções de análises e intervenções que se imbricam: por um lado, discussões e manifestações que incluem homens e mulheres, difundindo críticas ao modelo hegemônico sexista, por meio de produções artísticas, jornalísticas, publicitárias, conferências, pesquisas etc.; por outro lado, ações de mobilização voltadas para os "agentes sociais" que já atuam nas situações de violência contra a mulher para que mudem a perspectiva de suas intervenções, dando também atenção aos homens.In this text, we performed a theoretical exercise by focusing our analysis on the men who commit violence against women. In order to understand how people situate themselves and are situated within empowerment practices and truth games, we think that is absolutely essential to comprehend the narrative and the non-narrative resources that install, create and maintain any given practice, such as the violence against women. The goal of the study is to discuss the attention paid to the men who commit violence considering the government policies with special emphasis to the "Maria da Penha" Law. We concluded that there are two directions of analyses and interventions that are interconnected, such as: on one hand, there are forums and demonstrations that involve men and women spreading criticisms to the hegemonic sexist model through artistic, media, publicity, conferences, research work and so on. On the other hand, there are a series of practices taking place to support the work of the "social agent", who already work with the situations of violence committed against women, in order to change their perspective of intervention so that more attention can be given to the men as well.

Esta pesquisa focalizou o uso de imagens de risco-aventura em revistas em uma perspectiva diacrônica, de modo a investigar sua legitimação e a emergência de novas estratégias de gestão do risco na contemporaneidade. Utilizamos uma amostra da revista Veja relativa ao período de 1968 a 2003, totalizando 212 exemplares. A análise sugere que a presença de atividades de risco-aventura na mídia, numa perspectiva temporal, teve dois movimentos: o primeiro remete à profissionalização de atividades que até muito recentemente eram consideradas exóticas. No segundo movimento, esses esportes de aventura são tornados accessíveis ao público que é seduzido pela oferta de pacotes turísticos e cursos especializados. As imagens de risco-aventura na mídia contemporânea constituem parte da informação e apoio ao texto. Mas há outros efeitos, entre eles, permitir a vivência de acontecimentos aos quais não teríamos acesso direto, seja pelos custos envolvidos nessas atividades, seja pela falta de competência técnica para tal.This research focused the use of images of risk-adventure in magazines in a diachronic perspective in order to investigate their legitimation and the emergence of strategies of governing risk in contemporanity. A sample of 212 issues of Veja published in the period between 1968 and 2003 was used. The analysis suggests that the presence of risk-adventure activities in the media, in a temporal perspective, had two stages: the first concerns the profissionalization of activities that until recently were considered exotic. In the second stage adventure sports became more accessible and the public is seduced through the offer of tourist packages and specialized courses. Images of risk-adventure in contemporary media are intrinsic information resources and support for the text. But they have other effects, such as promoting the experience of events to which one would not have direct access because of the costs involved or the lack of the necessary technical competence.

Este artigo apresenta o movimento construcionista como uma perspectiva crítica em Psicologia Social que propõe compreender os processos de institucionalização que tornaram certos acontecimentos essencializados. Para tanto, enfoca o estudo das práticas discursivas, considerando a linguagem como prática que provoca efeitos. Essa perspectiva possibilita estudos que focalizam acontecimentos na interface entre os usos da linguagem e as condições de sua produção e veiculação. O movimento indica que é necessário direcionar pesquisas para os regimes de verdade que as práticas discursivas sustentam ou rompem e, também, para as relações de poder que controlam, selecionam e organizam os enunciados.This paper presents the constructionist movement as a critical perspective in Social Psychology, which proposes to understand and explain the processes of institutionalization that have made certain facts essentialized. For such, it focuses on the study of discursive practices, regarding language practice as a cause of effects. This language perspective makes research possible that focuses happenings in the interface between the uses of language and the conditions of its production and propagation. The movement indicates the need to redirect research to the regimes of truth that the discursive practices sustain or break and, also, for the relations of power that control, select and organize enunciations.

A indústria de seguros vem respondendo à crescente exposição deliberada ao risco no contexto do turismo de aventura. Os seguros constituem apenas uma das possíveis aplicações de tecnologias do risco, mas têm se tornado um dos elementos centrais nos diferentes tipos de contratos estabelecidos pelas operadoras de turismo. Procuramos, neste artigo, responder à pergunta: de quem é a responsabilidade pelos danos, quando o risco é ativamente procurado como forma de lazer? Abordaremos inicialmente a inserção da proposta de estudo no contexto da literatura sobre risco e aspectos gerais da regulação do turismo de aventura no Brasil. A seguir, por meio de estudo de caso de uma operadora de turismo de aventura, analisaremos como é garantida a segurança do usuário no jogo de relações entre mercado de turismo, seguros e Estado. Concluiremos com breves considerações sobre a partilha dos danos e responsabilidades entre operadoras de seguros e de turismo, Estado e usuários, apontando ainda para possíveis mudanças no cenário atualmente configurado.The insurance industry has been quick to respond to the increase in deliberate exposure to risk in the context of adventure tourism. Although insurance is only one aspect of the possible applications of risk technologies, it has become a central element in the variety of contracts established between tourism operators and clients. This article addresses the question: who has responsibility for damages incurred when risk is actively sought in leisure pursuits? Initially we'll discuss risk-adventure in the context of the literature on risk and the regulation of adventure tourism in Brazil. Based on a case study of a tourism office offering leisure activities in nature, it proceeds with an analysis of how client safety is guaranteed in the network of relationships involving tourism market, insurance industry and State regulation. It concludes with brief considerations about the distribution of damages and responsibilities between tourism operators, insurance agents, clients and the State, with emphasis on potential changes in the scenario presently configured.

The aim of this paper is to examine the discursive strategies articulated with the construction of a tourist Argentina (attractions, destinations, valuations and tourist practices) within the context of the first peronist government. We are interested in analyzing, in general terms, the configuration of a tourist Argentina, in relation to the construction of objects and places’ attractiveness during the peronist administration. Specifically, we examine the discursive practices involved in the construction of a set of tourist images included in a tourism promotion document elaborated by an official department. In first place, we explore the development of both institutions and tourist practices in Argentina during that period. In second place, we analyze An Outline of Argentina (Visión de Argentina, 1950), a publication released in 1950 by General Management of National Parks and Tourism.

TV commercials are examples of a complex interactional situation. The distance in time and space and the fact that the message is transmitted through a media channel will have a great impact on their discursive strategies. The purpose of the present work is to underline the fact that nowadays we cannot treat the advertising discourse simply as a manipulating tool and the consumers simply as a target audience or victims of advertising. There are several aspects which have to be taken into consideration (such as the social and cultural aspects) in order to assess the interactional aspect of this type of discourse.

Ever since the Hugolian struggle between shadow and light, theatre has encompassed the night to generate climates adequate to political mutations. Now, with the advent of Bertolt Brecht, theatre exposes itself as the place and location of discourse. L'Achat du cuivre, while exposing the theoretical issues of epic theatre, brings on a novelty in the link it seals between theatre and night, forming the ideal frame of meta-theatricality. Almost sixty years later, while issues of political struggle changed a lot, the closed space of theatre by night offers a frame to introspection. From La ronde de nuit by Theatre Aftaab (Afghanistan) under the protection of Théâtre du Soleil, to the old actors embodied by Jean-Paul Roussillon in Chekhov's Le Chant du cygne directed by Alain Françon and Michel Piccoli in Minetti staged by André Engel, floats the doubt between reality and fiction. Far from the demonstrations of the Philosopher in L'Achat du cuivre, theatre and night, in a recovered intimacy between the actor and the public, hustle usual landmarks and leave the following question hanging: who, in the end, takes up the stage? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article offers information on collective activity in an organization which is based on the pragmatist language of habit. It mentions that by the adoption of pragmatist theories of habit and inquiry, collective activity is analyzed as a discursive process. It also presents a case study related to the implementation of an integrated management information system which reveals that organizational changes show habits and discursive coherence.

The article discusses the linguistic field of lexics in reference to the study of the linguistic field of discourse analysis, with a focus on recent advances, as of 2012, in semantics, which integrate with discursive interpretations. Topics include a discussion of how to enter discourse by words, which type of semantics to use with the linguistic method of Lexical access to discourse analysis (A.D.E.L.), and the background of relations between the linguistic fields of discourse, semantics, and lexics.

The article discusses the roots of French discourse analysis in the examination of words which represent real life, and realist linguistics, and the interest of French discourse analysis in expressions which are not tied to physical reality, but rather represent concepts of ideology, preconstructed notions, and interdiscourse. Topics include the recent, as of 2012, focus on naming, particularly in reference to media discourse and the naming of events, the concept of deference and the respect paid to native speakers, which derives from analytic philosophy, and the limits of linguistic deference in information discourse.

Roger Chartier's interview investigates the relationships between History and Discourse with special reference to the ideas on enunciation and discontinuity by Michel Foucault. It also discusses the possible crisis that History is undergoing, or rather, the interpretation issue and the new perspectives and contemporary problems within the historiographic field and in Discourse Analysis. The interview highlights that the core of the philosopher's thoughts lies within the articulation of discursive and non-discursive practices (social institutions, political events and others), the latter being indispensible for the former. According to Chartier's point of view, “cultural history” is defined within this complicated relationship which is a highly proficient perspective for the analysis of discourses.

The aim of this article is to offer a general presentation of the compositional heterogeneity of the ecological blog's discourse. In order to make this analysis, we shall, firstly, present an overview of the weblog in general and of the ecological weblog in particular. This overview will help us to better circumscribe the object of our analysis and it will be considered from the perspective of information and communication sciences and discourse analysis. Once the concept of ecological blog fathomed, we shall, secondly, proceed to a general analysis of its discursive heterogeneity. This analysis will be performed from the perspective of discourse analysis and pragmatics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The field of research in this article is centered on the analysis of the interactions taking place in the classes of French as a foreign language. We aim to show in which way the speech is constructed between the participants and how it generates changes to the taught/learned language and which is the place of metalanguage in these interactions. Like in the case of studying verbals interactions, the analysis of didactic interactions is found at the cross of many disciplinary fields: that of linguistics, of didactics, of statements theories, etc. In consequence, our step towards an analysis of didactic speech in the classes of French as a foreign language will take place from an interactionist point of view because it concerns the interaction between teachers and students.

This contribution is part of a research project centred on the written press genera as social and cultural practices: nature, typology and dynamics in the Romanian and French press. Starting with a synthesis of the main researches in this field, the author tries to reconsider all these aspects in order to make some assumptions concerning the definition criteria of the press genera in the perspective of a general poetics theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article deals with meta-pragmatics and reviews some of the turning points in linguistic description, within which the natural speech phenomena that have been ignored in grammatical conceptualisation have inevitably given rise to a new terminology, open to discursive phenomena. Through the new terms the grammar or even the discourse analysis proposed at its beginnings, the analysis points out the fact that the attitudes towards some new discursive phenomena, especially to the oral discourse, are negative judgements of those phenomena. Thus, such terms as interjection, apposition, dislocation, predicative word, phrase-adverb, incidence, discursive phrase, unfinished sequences, false-starts, etc, are proof of the categorization of the phenomena as breaks in the traditionally recognised norms and grammatical functions. They are, however, natural phenomena of the discourse which, succeeding the grammatical models, will be reconsidered as functions or discursive structures by the descriptive models of the discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Comparison is an interesting marking procedure, useful because it allows a multitude of discursive effects in communication. This aspect is tremendously important for writers, in various literary genres. Although the definition of the comparison varies according to the point of view - syntactic, semantic or stylistic -, researchers agree upon classifying it into two types: a scalar comparison, which offers a quantitative perspective on the compared entities, and a non-scalar comparison, which offers a qualitative evaluation of these entities. In the present study we aim to analyze the qualitative comparison, also known as comparison of similarity or conformity, formed with the comparative morpheme comme. By the use of this morpheme, an enunciative instance - which often becomes a narrative instance within the frame of a narrative fiction - invites the receiver-interpreter to (re)build worlds in the process of reconstructing the message; these worlds are not explicitly described but, in consonance with the general orientation of the text, merely sketched or just suggested, by the sheer choice of the comparand - a landmark - with which the term to be compared, to be marked, implicitly to be evaluated (i.e. the comparee) is connected.
