Abstract

In the theoretical perspective that we follow, the subjects, the meanings and the language, escape from the social and political management of the subjects and institutions. From this point of view, the discourse is a political practice linked to subjects and ideologies and the meaning of words that constitutes it, does not only depend on the speakers-subject or readers-subjects, but it also encompasses the production conditions of textualities in which they work, the relationship between the cover materiality – our corpus – and the newspaper report developed inside the pillars, more specifically, in the IstoÉ and Época magazines. This relationship, in a certain way, directs the interpretation, indicating to evidence effects of homogeneity of meanings. We have cut out for analysis purposes, the words manifestation and protest to reflect on the language functioning, emphasizing that in them, discourses and memories return, pointing to the non-transparency of language around the social movements that took place in 2013, in the discursive space of the streets, which establish the contradiction and antagonism.
