Abstract

This article is part of the analysis of the discursive pecheutian analysis with journalism. It seeks to discursively analyze the mediatic treatment of a female head of state, in order to investigate the possible meanings present in the analysis corpora, which are part of Istoé and Época's articles for President Dilma Rousseff, published on April 1, 2016 and August 20, 2015, respectively. Thus, we have as a cut of analysis the discursive marks of the feminine in power, the conditions of production and the historicity of each magazine, as well as the senses of women not belonging to politics. We understand that both materials use discursive memory to produce an erasure and silencing of meanings. This memory propitiates reports about men in positions in the executive and women as their wives, making their readers perceive, thus, senses limited to the woman in the power. In general, in the shadow of man and not as protagonist.
