Sob o signo da performatividade: discurso, ciência e jornalismo

Abstract

This thesis aims to show how the economic capital (performativity) influence the migration of Science Discourse (SD) for the Science Communication Discourse (SCD). It was chosen the Discourse Analysis of French line methodology. The corpus was formed by four articles of trade magazine Superinteressante, for the months of January, February, March and May 2009. The period was randomly determined. We use the theory as a hypothesis of Agenda-Setting as influential in the process of migrating the SD for the SCD. We assume that news is a fact or an idea that interests a large number of readers as well as journalistic objectivity in the process of production of matter, that is, news is what journalists believe that interests the public. We verified that not everything that is being discussed by society migrate to SCD. We note that the performativity of news becomes one of main factors in this process, which can manifest through two ways. The first is by economic capital and the second by symbolic capital. The result is a change in formulation of Discourse on Science Communication.
