Uma análise crítica do discurso da delação do grupo JBS nas ações cautelares do STF.

Abstract

Based on the theoretical-methodological framework of critical discourse analysis, the present research has the general objective of analyzing the discourse of the JBS delation in the Supreme Court’s Precautionary Actions. In a country like BBrazil, it is important to understand some characteristics of the complaint, as it is part of an equally complex scenario, which is corruption. The concern of the research was to get into the aspects of the linguistic-discursive strategies of the complaint and, in this way, to contribute so that the phenomenon can be understood in the light of critical discourse analysis. The specific objectives that guide the research are: 1) to analyze how the discursive polarization strategies are mobilized in the discourse of the JBS whistleblower; 2) to investigate the discourse of JBS’s delation of legitimizing corruption; 3) to investigate how the various discourse orders related to the JBS delation are configured; 4) to demonstrate how intertextuality is present in the discourse of the delation and contributes to the construction of senses or meanings; 5) to analyze the metaphors existing in the discourse of the JBS delation e 6) to understand the complexity of conflicts and interests mobilized in the field (s) in their discursive practice in the context of Brazilian politics. This study is based on the Critical Discourse Analysis (ACD) proposal and its transdisciplinary, multimethodological and multi-theoretical perspectives (MAGALHÃES; MARTINS; RESENDE, 2017; JORGENSEN; PHILLIPS, 2002; FAIRCLOUGH 2001, 2003; 2006; VAN DIJK, 2003; 2010; CRESWEEL; CLARK, 2013; DENZIN; LINCOLN, 2006). The corpus of the analysis of the research is made up of the Federal Supreme Court’s Precautionary Actions 4315, 4325, 4328 and 4330, all related to the JBS Group’s delation. The theoretical perspective that underlies this research is that of Teun Van Dijk (1997; 1998; 2000; 2003; 2010; 2016a ; 2016b), Norman Fairclough (1995, 1998; 2001; 2003; 2005; 2006; [1992] 2008; 2012), Pierre Bourdieu (1993; 2003; 2004; 2007; 2008) and George Lakoff (1980; 2008). The results show that the discourse of the JBS delation follows an order of discourse that aims to maintain the practice of corruption by using discursive strategies that legitimize its actions and decisions – including, within public institutions, legalizing their practices in a process of intertextuality, and such discursive practices represent a strong threat to the order of discourse that institutes and enables the Democratic State of Law.
