A cobertura da diplomacia brasileira em Folha de S. Paulo e O Estado de S. Paulo: a representação do Itamaraty e as narrativas sobre o papel do Brasil no mundo

Abstract

The project focus on analysing the interfaces between the media and the politics and seeks to identify the Brazilian international identity construction based on the Itamaraty coverage by the main press of the country. Using Bakhtin and French School Discourse Analysis techniques, the research addresses Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo media coverage to find out which national identity was produced by the texts and articles published during Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva governments. The project also tries to answer if the spread speech that Brazil gained power since 1995 is reproduced among the mainstream media. The journalistic speech is also compared with the ones from International Relations researchers and diplomats and external policy formulators from both governments. Newspapers published during the United Nations General Assembly in 1995, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2007 e 2010.
