Generalização e particularização como efeitos de sentido: uma análise de duas capas do Jornal O Globo sobre o processo de impeachment de Dilma Rousseff

Abstract

This research aims to analyze, in the light of Discourse Analysis (AD), the effects of generalization and particularization, in two covers of the O Globo Journal that coincide with two manifestations in March 2016, occurred during the impeachment process of then President Dilma Rousseff. Based on the concepts of ideology, discourse, subject (PECHEUX, 1969) and discursive materiality (PECHEUX. M; FUCHS. C, 1975), we will focus on the journal cover genre (AGUIAR, 2010), from a multimodal perspective (MAINGUENEAU, 2015; LEEUWEN, 2011) where verbal text, comprised of the headlines and texts of cover calls, and non-verbal calls, comprised of the photographs and catoon, are part of a text-discourse whole (BARROS, 2003) in our analysis. We understand that analyzing these Effects of Sense (POSSENTI, 2009) and others that may be constituted in the statements, we can identify or suggest the ideological matrix of the vehicle. We conclude by the effects of sense revealed in the data that, although the newspaper O Globo seeks apparent neutrality and impartiality, trying to show the two manifestations in an exempt form, the discourse of the newspaper can be affirmed as pro-impeachment, from the explicitation the linguistic choices and the configuration of the other constituent elements of the samples of the genus under analysis. This allows us to think about the role of print media and to rediscuss the concepts of neutrality and impartiality of the media in general, provoking reflections on its role in political processes.
