Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as representações discursivas do crime corporativo ambiental cometido pela Samarco, em Bento Rodrigues, em 2015, nas reportagens de duas revistas de circulação nacional, a Veja e a Carta Capital, veiculadas durante o primeiro ano após o ocorrido. As corporações contemporâneas têm orientado suas estratégias discursivas pela responsabilidade social corporativa, no entanto, crimes e ilegalidades no âmbito das corporações têm ganhado cada vez maior notoriedade na mídia, revelando uma distância significativa entre a prática e o discurso. A forma com que esses fenômenos são reportados pela mídia traz implicações na compreensão da sociedade acerca do ocorrido. Utilizou-se a técnica análise de discurso, considerando os elementos presentes na construção do discurso: hegemonia, contradição, reconhecimento, intertextualidade e representação. Os resultados apontam que as representações de ambas as revistas sobre o crime corporativo são similares: a empresa é vítima, a empresa é culpada, o rompimento da barragem é um crime corporativo.
Inequality is a historical issue in Brazil, an inheritance of entangled and interdependent social, economic, political and legal injustices. This article summarizes a research on fine-dining restaurant kitchens in the city of Uberlandia, a major economic and migration hub in central Brazil, seeking to expose instances of inequalities replicated in these organizations. It attempts to offer a critical study of unfolding dialogues between its employees’ perspectives of their socio-cultural contexts and those of the organizations and their own contextual particularities, using the notions of medievality, global city and foodscape as categories of analysis, with further considerations on organization studies, postcolonialism and postmodernity. Its research corpus’ empirical material was collected through shadowing chefs in two restaurants and was analyzed in the light of those categories and considerations. It was possible to interpret that such workers, organizations, and their contexts reproduce symbols, behaviors and representations that may operate as sources of social distinction for their customers, but, paradoxically, may reinforce the inequalities that motivated the research.
