O afastamento de dilma roussef: afetos e discursos em disputa na política

In this paper we inquire what are the meanings produced by two players (Frente Brasil Popular and Vem pra Rua) at Facebook. They are among the various political movements pro and against the removal of President Dilma Roussef, in April 2016. The analysis is based on Laclau’s discursive theory and Zilberbeg and Fontanille’s tensive semiotics. The research questions are: which are the communication contracts and themes constructed by this two enunciators, from opposite sides of the political spectrum? Which are the fundamental semantic oppositions? Which political discourses transverse this convocations? Which are the nodal points of those discourses? How do they construct, in each case, the image of ‘the people’? What affections do one and another political movements put on scene? What are the positions of these enunciators, through the semiotics of the event therms? Through the tensive semiotics approach, how to understand this political movements with the mechanisms of triage and mixture? Finally, how can we think the construction of democracy from this polarization?
