CIRCULAÇÃO DE SENTIDOS SOBRE O PARTO NO BRASIL: FORMAÇÃO DISCURSIVA E POSIÇÕES-SUJEITO EM UMA ANÁLISE A PARTIR DO JORNALISMO DIÁRIO.

In a discursive scene where childbirth preferences are object of arguments and bound to specific governmental regulation, we intent, with this work, affiliated to Discourse Analysis theory with tradition in Michel Pêcheux , to apprehend the subject positions of a journalistic discourse that aims to inform about and promote changes in the way natural childbirth and Caesarean operation are faced in Brazilian supplemental healthcare sector. It's also our purpose to apprehend what meaning-effects circulate about the chosen procedure to childbirth from a discursive formation that bears the sayings about the medical aspects of such childbirth procedures. To do so, we problematize the text extracts in analysis to identify who emerges as the leading figure of childbirth (in this case, the medical doctor) and who is silenced (the woman and her family) in journalistic publications about birth. We focus on four discursive sequences extracted from a news piece published at south-Brazilian's Jornal do Comércio and analyze the subject positions process of identification and counter-identification with the universal subject of a medical and economical discourse formation, yet to be nominated in our research. At last, we focus on the role played by the lapse as index of resistance and a breach of the ideological subjection ritual, trough its cracks we can see emerge meanings that constitutes this discourse.
