Section: Presuppositions As Persuasionmentioning

confidence: 99%

“…In this article, persuasion does not refer to the evaluation of the success or failure of argumentation, but to the intentional language use to present a favourable representation of the world. Persuasion is understood as the textual cues which have been placed so as to give the reader clues as to how the texts should be interpreted (Magalhães, 1995). This article does not (and cannot) go into the readers' interpretations of the persuasion, although, from the point of view of glocalization (Wodak, 2005) of policies it would be interesting to do an ethnographic study on how the policy texts studied in this article are recontextualized, for instance, in the national ministries.…”

Persuasive presuppositions in OECD and EU higher education policy documents

The article analyses presuppositions in higher education policy documents of the OECD and the European Union from the point of view of their persuasiveness. Presuppositions set the assumed common ground, which in turn sets the frame of interpretation of texts. However, by presenting something as common ground, presuppositions also shape our views of the reality. Used in this way, presuppositions can be used to present contested views, which would be open to criticism if they were asserted explicitly. The analysis does not evaluate the actual success of persuasion, but rather how policy documents are construed in a persuasive way.

“…O que percebemos é que, nos últimos vinte anos no Brasil, nos estudos feministas sobre linguagem, prevalecem abordagens discursivas (Borba e Ostermann, 2008;Cestari, 2008;Heberle, 2004;Heberle, et al 2006;Pinto, 2004b), especialmente a Análise Crítica do Discurso, como a própria Débora Figueiredo (2004Figueiredo ( , 2009) entre outras (Caldas-Coulthard, 2007;Funck, 2009;Gabrielli, 2007;Heberle, 2004;Magalhães, 1995;Magalhães, 2008). Essa prevalência segue uma tendência anglo-americana de estudos feministas sobre linguagem bem representada por Cameron (1992Cameron ( , 1998, autora reconhecida e bastante referenciada no Brasil, ao mesmo tempo em que refl ete o crescente impacto da Análise do Discurso Crítica na produção acadêmica brasileira.…”

RESUMO -O feminismo emerge das lutas do sujeito 'mulher', instalando um conjunto de práticas e identidades políticas. O que este grupo, mulheres feministas, teria a ver com linguagem? Cameron (1992Cameron ( , 1998 mostra que as feministas têm tratado a linguagem como parte essencial da luta pela liberação das mulheres. A autora aponta que os movimentos organizados do século XIX já colocavam a linguagem como elemento central das suas reivindicações, rechaçando as restrições à fala públi-ca das mulheres. Essa centralidade continuou durante todo o século XX e repercutiu nos estudos linguísticos no fi nal da década de 1970. No entanto, Cameron (1998) observa que a pluralidade teórica prevalece nas discussões feministas sobre linguagem nos últimos trinta anos. Este contexto é o pano de fundo para este artigo. Revisando artigos, capítulos e teses de mulheres no Brasil, este artigo evidencia um campo relativamente homogêneo de produção de conhecimento linguístico contra-hegemônico que articula teoria e descrição linguística com as práticas identitárias feministas. Esse campo mostra que as feministas empurraram a identidade para o cerne da ciência, não como objeto, mas como articuladora dos princípios de pesquisa. E as linguistas feministas no Brasil, especialmente aquelas infl uenciadas nos últimos anos pelas discussões sobre linguagem, ação e poder (Cameron et al., 1993), confrontaram o interesse no desinteresse por confl itos de poder implicados na pesquisa linguística.Palavras-chave: feminismo, identidade, pesquisa, linguagem, discurso.

“…Broadly speaking, Fairclough (1992Fairclough ( trans., 20011995), Kress and van Leeuwen (1996), van Dijk (ed., 1997), Fairclough and Wodak (1997), Chouliaraki and Fairclough (1999), and Fairclough (2000) have proposed steps to advance CDA as an approach which links the detailed analysis of text, which is practised in Linguistics, with societal concerns about class, gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality as studied in the social sciences (Wodak and Meyer, eds., 2001). 3 In relation to gender identities, we need to problematise essentialist identities since they have little to do with present social life, shaped to a great extent by quasi-interaction in the media.…”

“…Texts portray a tense coexistence between traditional, essentialist gender identities and new identities influenced by intercultural relations brought about by globalisation. In focusing upon Foucault s notion of forms of coexistence (Foucault 1987b), I defined two gender discourses: a traditional one and a new discourse, which seeks an egalitarian relation between the genders (Magalhães 1995). This emancipatory gender discourse is associated with women s participation in public domains (Magalhães 2000b).…”

Critical discourse analysis and the semiotic construction of gender identities

This study examines textual and semiotic aspects of adverts according to critical discourse analysis. The focus of the study is the concept of gender identity. In adverts, different texts are appropriated in new ways explicitly as well as implicitly. Here texts work in a process of discourse technologisation. Both the feminine and the masculine are represented discursively in their heterogeneity: the feminine is represented as a commodified body; it is also frail and pathological. The masculine is linked with power, but with fashion too. Adverts position readers ideologically, so that they can define their gender identities as consumers.
