Abstract

This project aims to examine, from the theoretical line of French discourse analysis, a corpus composed of materials published by the Central Directory of Students (student representative body, hereafter DCE) of Unicamp, both in their role as elected management within the campuses university and as a collective organized left within the UNE (National Union of Students), during the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, ie 2003-2010. From their publications, we intend to characterize the ideological and discursive formations of the entity, considering that the first materializes in the second, the simulacrum created the Lula government and, indirectly, the PT key components of his political speeches, their production, and the corporate ethos driving up to his interlocutors. From the standpoint of linguistic-discursive, we intend to analyze the formal marks of the papers, showing how they are organized into genres quite peculiar and particular university environment. (AU)
