O discurso da democratização da comunicação : memórias, lutas e efeitos de sentido

Abstract

Our research is about Discourse Analysis and investigates the effects sense about democracy, produced around the claim for democratization of communication, according to the documents produced by National Forum of Democratization of Communication, a foundation that holds up almost all of the social movements and syndicates of employees and foundations of students who are linked to that claim. The social communications are, nowadays, for sure, in the center of attentions of various researches on the human sciences area. One way or another, the various sciences are faced with this field, either in the constitution of objects of research and developing theories of the functioning of contemporary society, either by instrumentation that the media provide. A scientific development of our object would only be possible, as we conceive, after the raid on two distinct strands of research, serving as the basis for this work: Discourse Analysis and the Political Economy of Communication. The first for being constituted of a critical theory of the language relating language, history and ideology. The second, for providing essential elements for the comprehension of the historical development of media in Brazil in the shape of Cultural Industry, and your real operation about to the concrete, symbolic and ideological development of the contemporary societies. We conclude that the discourse of Democratization of Communication, which has its origin in the so-called "new civil society" and is historically defended by that, is crossed by the Ideological Formation of the Capital, proposing reforms on the market structure, which doesn t have, on the horizon, the goal to overcome the way of capitalist production.
