| Abstract | |
The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the discourses about poverty, trying to verify how it is meant in the State public policies. Within that, it's importante to analyze the relationship of the State with the Market and Science, observing the discursive functioning of mobilization toward legitimizing the decision-making related to the public. To this end, it is important to check which are the discursive mechanisms that the State uses to articulate meanings, creating a homogeneous definition of poverty and offering a consensual base that supports public policies. I assumed that these political discourses are included in a consensual logic, which presents itself as a democratic "ideal", but is based on a homogeneous design of social ties, a fact that silences conflicts and tensions and does not allow the manifestation of difference. The corpus consisted of reports produced by multilateral agencies (World Bank, UN), documents linked to the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil, dictionaries, reference works of Anthropology and Economics and photographs by Sebastião Salgado. The analysis proposed here falls in the theoretical and methodological perspective of Discourse Analysis as proposed by Pêcheux and Orlandi. This research expects to contribute to the understanding of the functioning of the relationship between State, Market and Science in the construction of the meaning (s) of "poverty" and "poor", allowing to elucidate some issues related to the understanding of both as a social problem, thus political (ideological) (AU) | |
