Do direito à merenda escolar ao discurso do direito: uma análise discursiva do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar – PNAE

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the effects of meaning and the discursive-ideological construction that permeates the National School Feeding Program (PNAE), known as School Lunch, through the discourses materialized in the National School Feeding Booklet (CNAE), which was created to conduct the activities of all school feeding councils in the country, and Law No. 11.947 / 2009, which regulates the PNAE, bringing the legislative norms that must be observed when it comes to the right to school meals in public education. We are in line with the French Line of Discourse Analysis (AD) founded and developed by Michel Pêcheux (2009). Through AD procedures, we seek to transcend the apparent homogeneity of the discourse that the CNAE and Law 11.947 / 2009 present, trying to understand the discursive formations, the said and not said, as well as the intradiscourses and the silencings that work in the manipulative ideology and presented in the texts. This qualitative analysis under the aegis of the AD made significant contributions in the sense of removing the veil of the apparent tranquility that exists in the discourse presented by the State, especially about something as relevant as the right to school meals, with the aim of understanding what the true intention in the ideological market play regarding the purchase, distribution and supervision of basic school meals. We try to identify the ideology that underlies it, understanding how these subjects, interpellated by the market ideology, are affected by the effects of the discourse of the ruling class that hangs in the CNAE and Law 11.947 / 2009, within a context which takes into account notions of Public Educational and State Policies.
