A relação do jornalismo com a construção identitária: um estudo da representação linguística da figura do negro em crônicas do século XX

Abstract

This study presents semantic analysis on the representation of black people in Brazilian literature and journalism, in the views of João do Rio and Lima Barreto, Brazilian authors. In order to achieve this goal, a research was carried out on texts from the last century by both authors, interpreting words and phrases in order to understand how the works reflected the post-abolition society of slavery in Brazil and how it behaved in the face of the freedom of black people. For this, the Semantic Textual Analysis method was used, using Systemic-Functional Linguistics to achieve the objectives proposed in this work. By achieving the main objective of this work, we sought to bring new perspectives to the racial discussions that are growing in our country today.
