O discurso do Brasil na OEA (2000 - 2016) : uma abordagem foucaultiana

Abstract

This paper proposes an analysis of the Brazilian discourse in the Organization of American States in the period corresponding to 2000 and 2016. As corpus the speeches given by the Brazil at the Ordinary General Meetings, available in official minutes. It seeks to understand the Brazilian statements and answer what can be define as regularities and ruptures. For this the international, domestic and institutional conjuncture is taken into account, as well as the discursive conformation of the OAS and the power-knowledge relations that make up this discursive. As a specific objective, an analysis of the dynamics of Brazil's relations in the OAS is sought, which directs research to a look at the performance of US foreign policy that responds what is the tension. We use the Discourse Analysis approach based on Michel Foucault's reflections, with the aim of observing the discursive action of Brazil in the multilateral body in a perspective based on linguistic materiality, making use of the theoretical keys: statement, discursive formation (FD), subject, speech, event. The issue of the Malvinas Islands is analyzed, the correlation between the patterns of democracy, security and regional integration, finally the discursivization about the "Impeachment of Dilma Rousseff" or "Coup of 2016". In the end it is pointed out that there is a regularity despite the change of management; diversification from the traditional content of PEB; the regency of the MRE in the conduct of foreign policy; and gender inequality in the composition of the delegation.
