The research adopts a qualitative, interpretive approach grounded in Critical Discourse Analysis, Text Linguistics, and the perspective of Linguística Aplicada Transviada. The corpus consists of five high-engagement comments: four taken from an Instagram post by IGN Brasil about The Last of Us Part II and one from the Metacritic user review page for the DLC Horizon Forbidden West™: Burning Shores, within the 2020-2025 period. The analyses show that these utterances are not isolated opinions; rather, they function as discursive practices that mobilize pejorative lexical choices, ideological intertextuality, algorithmic validation, and mechanisms of symbolic exclusion. Terms such as “woke agenda,” “lacração” (a Brazilian Portuguese pejorative term for ostentatious progressive positioning), “minority,” and “forced” contribute to the delegitimization of LGBTQIAPN+ representation and to the reaffirmation of heteronormative norms within gamer culture. The findings indicate that language operates as a site of dispute, regulation, and resistance, making it essential to critically understand how homophobic discourses are structured and circulated in digital environments. This study contributes to discussions on language, power, sexual diversity, and representation in video games.

The main objective is to investigate how verbal language is instrumentalized as a mechanism of oppression and, simultaneously, as a space for symbolic resistance in the theocratic regime of Gilead. For this purpose, the research adopts a qualitative approach, anchored in Critical Discourse Analysis, with contributions from Sociolinguistics and the theoretical thought of authors such as Ernst Cassirer, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, and José Luiz Fiorin. The analysis focuses on the ten episodes of the first season, emphasizing ritualized discourses, surveillance practices, the resemantization of terms, and the silencing strategies imposed by the regime. The results demonstrate that language in Gilead operates as a technology of power, standardizing behaviors, erasing identities, and naturalizing gender hierarchies. However, cracks of resistance are also revealed through minimal linguistic gestures, such as the preservation of proper names, clandestine writing, and the formation of underground solidarity networks. It is concluded that, even in contexts of totalitarian control, language retains an insurgent potential, serving both domination and the re-existence of subordinate characters. This work contributes to studies on language, power, and gender, offering a critical reflection on the political uses of language in contemporary societies.

This research is based on the studies of Coyle, Hood, and Marsh (2021), Diáz-Maggioli and Painter-Farrel (2016), Rebello and Bailer (2024), among others, who discuss the principles of the CLIL approach and present successful experiences. A case study was conducted to analyze the presence of the mother tongue in the context of English classes in a high school in João Pessoa. The results revealed that it is possible to adopt the CLIL approach in a high school context in order to promote interdisciplinary knowledge, develop students linguistic skills, and foster a sense of autonomy and critical thinking. It was therefore concluded that the activities carried out during this research contributed to the consolidation of specific vocabulary related to nutrition, the understanding of the functions of each food group, the development of argumentation in English, and the expansion of student autonomy.

In his journey, leaving home alone to cross the border between Mexico and the United States to meet his parents, memories and reflections emerge from Zamora's childhood experiences and the psychological consequences and political awareness of Zamora as an adult. This is done in light of Greg Grandin's critique of the Eurocentric and Americanized "world order," the decolonization of minds and worldviews by Ngúgí wa Thiong'o and Marcio D’Olne Campos, and the "in-between space" and the difficulties of writing by Gloria Anzaldúa. Moreover, it also theorizes Achille Mbembe's work on Necropolitics, and the theorization of Alyshia Galvéz and Eithne Luibhéid on the meaning and identity of the immigrant person.
