New issue – v. 38, n. 2 (2025)

Revista Linha D’Água (Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil) has just published a new issue under the theme “Text, Society, and Democracy” (vol. 38, no. 2, 2025).

 

This dossier features 28 research articles and two book reviews that highlight the relevance and vitality of the theme Text, Ethics, Democracy, and Social Inclusion, as well as the importance of text and discourse studies in confronting the broad spectrum of manifestations of violence, hate, discrimination, and intolerance.

In this issue, the contributions address gender issues, misogyny, and racism; expose prejudice, censorship, and misinformation; and discuss freedom of expression, resistance, decoloniality, patriotism, and inclusive language. Drawing on theoretical frameworks including, among others, pragmatics, theories of enunciation, various discourse analysis approaches, text linguistics, and comparative linguistics, the studies examine a wide range of corpora, encompassing literary discourse, journalism, social media interactions, political discourse, and advertising.

This issue was made possible thanks to the contributions of more than 100 peer reviewers affiliated with institutions from all regions of Brazil, as well as international institutions in Portugal, Chile, Spain, and the United States.

The thematic dossier was guest edited by Prof. Dr. Ana Lúcia Tinoco Cabral (IP/PUC-SP, Brazil) and Prof. Dr. Rivaldo Capistrano Júnior (UFES, Brazil).
