Considerações sobre a identidade nacional brasileira na virada do milênio: uma análise discursiva de textos da mídia

Abstract

This paper presents some discursive reflections on the constitution of the Brazilian identity process at the turn of the XXIst century. The cover of a famous Brazilian magazine edited on the 500th anniversary of Brazil's discovery and four internet texts about Petrobras' name changin proposal were analysed. This analysis discusses the colonialist ideology being 're-signified' in the globalist era and the prejudice as an integral part of the (Brazilian) discourse.
