O discurso sobre criminalização indígena no Jornal Folha de Boa Vista (2000-2005)

Abstract

This paper analyzes the discourse on indigenous criminalization in printed newspaper Folha de Boa Vista, from the interpretation of written texts (headlines, call, editorials, Photo Reports, materials and news) and imagery (cartoons) disclosed in its pages from 2000 (context of Bra-zil Celebration of 500) to 2005 (time of intense indigenous struggle for ratification of the Raposa / Serra do Sol). The construction of a scientific debate orbited among theorists as Bakhtin, Foucault, and Pêcheux, Orlandi and reports printed newspaper Folha de Boa Vista, documentary basis for the analysis of speech through the use of linguistic and semiotic ele-ments, sought to criminalize indigenous Roraima. In the six years analyzed, we found that the print media through the journalistic discourse contributed to the process of criminalization of indigenous Roraima. Finally, we identified strategies for building a discourse that criminalizes those same Indians. The analysis takes as a reference the mass of documents that match the selected issues of the newspaper Folha de Boa Vista, where we identified the discursive forms of criminalization of indigenous Roraima, and aims to reveal how it produces the silence of theindigenous in the newspaper pages in reference.
