Abstract

The discursive event of the World Trade Center told the news media writing is the starting point of investigations of this dissertation. Interest us, for this research, the production of social meanings that the media discourses produce, associated with representations (the identity models revealed in the genres report and reader letters). This way, the purpose of this study is to identify ideological and discursive formations, power relations and effects of meaning constructed by the media on the discursive event of the World Trade Center, occurred on September 11th, 2001, in the United States of America (USA). To this end, we analyze enunciative marks present in the discourses / textual genres reader letters and main reports of the magazines Veja e Caros Amigos. It is a survey of nature multidisciplinary anchored Foucault archeogenealogical method. We also study the social representations contained in these discourses, the concepts of discourse, dialogism, heterogeneity, subject, games of images, social representation, ideology and power relations; investigating the discursive practices related to the constitution of identity of the islamic people and the north-american. Our hypothesis is that the two magazines Veja and Caros Amigos silent positions and ideologies of its readers. We use the theoretical principles of Discourse Analysis (DA), the authors Pêcheux (1988, 1990), Foucault (1972, 1979, 2005), Orlandi (2005), Gregolin (2007), Brandão (2004), Authier Revuz (1990) and Coracini (2007), and some scholars of language as Bakhtin (1999), Citelli (2006), Martins (1997, 2006, 2008), among others and media, as Charaudeau (2009) and Scalzo (2007). We seek to further in theoretical frameworks of Cultural Studies, scholars Bhabha (1998), Hall (2000, 2005), among others. With respect to the data collection and corpus, we selected print articles about attack of the World Trade Center, circulated by the magazines in question in period September-October 2001, a total of 12 excerpts of the articles analyzed. In addition, we analyzed the reader letters of both magazines. We divided the dissertation into three chapters. In the first, delimited and elucidated some theoretical concepts developed throughout the research. In the second, we bring the conditions of production: genres and media: a brief history of the origin and transformation of Veja and Caros Amigos, Islam, the U.S.A policy and the Bush Empire, conflicts between Muslim peoples. In the third chapter, we conducted the analysis, excavating archives in search of what is silenced in discourse memory and seeing how the different senses are established by the media. We found that is by discursive bias that the media establishes its ideology and the reader will interpret and understand the senses and socio-historical and ideological positioning covered by the various media.
