Isso não é um discurso, isso está na minha história, isso está nas minhas origens, isso está na minha cara.” Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. RESUMO Este trabalho analisa a cobertura do Brasil emergente nas páginas do jornal britânico The Economist a partir das relações entre economia e discurso na cobertura dos oito anos da presidência de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. As questões centrais desta pesquisa são: Que estratégias discursivas são utilizadas pelo veículo nas diferentes fases desse governo? Por que ocorrem mudanças no discurso sobre a gestão do ex-presidente? Acreditamos haver três fatores responsáveis pela alteração nessa linguagem: as estratégias discursivas utilizadas por The Economist no início do Governo Lula se baseiam na desconfiança e no medo, devido à ideologia socialista do ex-chefe de Estado brasileiro e à sua origem popular; ainda no primeiro mandato, graças ao cumprimento de acordos e pagamento de dívidas, o discurso sobre Lula torna-se de confiança e, no fim do mandato, o veículo adota um discurso que enaltece a sua política econômica, defendendo a continuidade do seu modelo de gestão por conta do crescimento, além da estabilidade monetária alcançados pela nação. O trabalho analisou dezenas de matérias publicadas entre 2002 e 2010, cujo aporte teórico se concentra na Análise do Discurso com base em autores como Charaudeau, Courtine, Maingueneau, Orlandi e Pêcheux. A AD atende os anseios desta tese graças à compreensão de que a ideologia, o poder e a política estão presentes na linguagem. Dessa forma, concluimos que o vínculo ideológico estabelecido entre Lula e The Economist foi um dos principais reponsáveis pela mudança no discurso acerca do político, que de possível caloteiro e desordeiro, transforma-se, por intermédio das estratégias discursivas do periódico, no responsável pelo maior sucesso econômico da América Latina. Palavras-chave: Brasil; discurso; economia; Lula e The Economist.

The central research questions ares: What the discursive strategies used by the newspapere at different stages of this administration are? Why there are changes in the discourse on the administration of the former president? We believe there are three responsible factors for changes in the communication

  • Anti-Corruption Developments in Brazil Update
    ROPES & GRAY WHITE PAPER Anti-Corruption March 19, 2014 Anti-Corruption Developments in Brazil Update OVERVIEW As the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil has long been the region’s top financial player, vying for a place as a world economic leader. Brazil has the seventh largest economy in the world and, with a total of $2.4 trillion, the seventh largest nominal Gross Domestic Product.1 Defined by large and well- developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors, Brazil’s economic success has “raised the bar for that country, at home and abroad.”2 Behind such success is a base of over 105 million workers, making Brazil the home of the world’s sixth largest labor force.3 As one of the first emerging markets to begin a recovery after the global financial crisis hit in 2008, Brazil became a major recipient of foreign direct investment. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development’s World Investment Prospects Survey 2010-2012 ranked Brazil as the third most popular country for foreign direct investment by transnational corporations. But despite the Brazilian economy’s tremendous potential, public corruption remains a significant obstacle to doing business in Brazil. Public corruption in Brazil dates back to the colonial period and persists today due, in large part, to cultural acceptance. A number of recent, high-profile public corruption scandals have focused the country’s attention on the issue, and citizen discontent has grown markedly. With President Dilma Rousseff taking a strong stance against corruption in her own ministry and new legislation on the books aimed at tackling the problem, Brazil may be on the cusp of a lasting anti-corruption movement.

The 57-year-old former union leader took over from President Fernando Henrique Cardoso in Brazil's first transition between two democratically elected presidents in over 40 years. "The time has come to tread a new path," Lula said in his inaugural address, adding that Brazil's progress had been stalled by the "economic, social, and moral impasse" of a system based on self-interest. "Yes, we are going to change things, with courage and care, humility and daring," he said. "I am not the result of an election, but of history. I am bringing to life the dream that generations and generations before me tried but were unable to achieve," said Lula. Lula won the Oct. 27 runoff with 61% of the votes. As he takes office, he has a 76% approval rating, a record in Brazil and among the highest approval ratings of any head of state.

  • January 01 - 09, 2015
    São Paulo – Brazil January 01 - 09, 2015 Fiscal Composure 01/01/2015 After a series of accounting maneuvers and last-minute legal fixes, the true scale of the damage to Brazil's National Treasury this year is unlikely to be known until the end of January. Even without taking into account the duty on public debt, the government accumulated a deficit of US $6.9 billion from January to November, a shocking deterioration since 2011, when the government achieved a surplus of US $35.2 billion. Given the lack of transparency with which the public finances have been dealt with, it is still uncertain what approach the outgoing economic team will take. In the best hypothesis, all spending that has been planned will be completed, including those that have been postponed for months or even years. However, there remains the fear that in order to present favorable accounts, the government will repeat the trick of transferring for the following year an increasing slice of its expenses, creating another obstacle on top of the adjustment planned for President Dilma Rousseff's second term. The incoming finance minister, Joaquim Levy, will have to take the fiscal promises made by the government with a generous pinch of salt. While the announcement of surplus targets equivalent to 1.2% of GDP in 2015 and 2% in 2015 and 2017 has been well received, it is not enough to restore the confidence of business leaders and investors. Doubts also hang over the government's ability to increase tax revenues, and especially over the level of freedom the new economic team will be granted by the Rousseff administration.

Guido Mantega, president of the Banco Nacional do Desenvolvimento Economico e Social (BNDES), took over the position of finance minister. Investors view the position as the most important ministerial post and had seen Palocci as their "guarantee" of fiscal stability in the Brazilian government, so Brazilian markets and the value of the national currency, the real, dove in the days following news of his resignation. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva may also face political consequences from the incident. Palocci implicated in misuse of bank records Palocci, commonly known as the architect of Brazil's economic recovery and market-friendly fiscal policy, sent a resignation letter on March 27 to President Lula, who accepted the resignation.

  • The Citizen's Basic Income As an Instrument to Help the Transition to Democracy
    The Citizen’s Basic Income to Build Democracy and Justice Essay presented to NOPOOR Project in Paris, June 12 2012 1 Eduardo Matarazzo Suplicy It is an honor for me to be invited to participate in this Kick-off Meeting of the NOPOOR Project, organized by the Development Institutions & Mondialization, DIAL, and the Institut de Recherche pour le Development, IRD, in Paris June 11th to 13th. It is, undoubtedly, a very relevant opportunity to exchange ideas about the experiences of so many countries, in the five continents, about how we can raise the level of justice in our societies, with freedom, by democratic means, so as to live with a sense of solidarity and peace. As a Brazilian Senator, member of the Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores), author of Law 10.835/2004, that institutes a Citizen’s Basic Income to all residents of Brazil, including those foreigners who have lived in Brazil for five years or more, no matter the origin, race, sex, age or socioeconomic condition, and also Co-President of Honor of the Basic Income Earth Network – BIEN – I am happy to bring you information about what is going on in my country, and about the development of this proposal in other parts of the world. According to the law, approved by consensus of all parties, in December 2002 in the Federal Senate, and in December 2003, in the Chamber of Deputies, and then sanctioned by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in January 8th, 2004, the Citizen’s Basic Income will be an annual monetary benefit, equal to all, sufficient to attend the basic needs of each person.
