Estado & discursos: A laicidade e abordagens nos discursos do Brasil contemporâneo

Abstract

The changes in the public and private spheres in the contemporary world have been intense, especially since the Federal Constitution of 1988 for the Brazilian context. Among the individual and collective dimensions, the families were taken in their multiplicity and discourses, advancing in polemic and political agendas, in addition to being used as a framework of non-laicity. The objective of this work is to analyze the representations about the family-religion-state categories through the political discourses given and openly divulged by the two Brazilian legislative houses (Senate and Chamber) that take place and indicate conservatism and break of principles. It is also based on the Critical Theory, with emphasis on the concepts of fetishization (Kurz) and spectacularization (Debord) and delimiting the qualitative methodology and discourse analysis as resources. In a comparative approach, identifying and evaluating discourses both in the process of creating the Family Statute and in the process of impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff are part of the objectives of this investigation, listing by party affiliation, private (Statute) and public (impeachment) processes, taking a sample of about ten per cent of the total representative of the two instances.
