RESUMO

The implementation of affirmative action policies for black students in Brazilian public universities has brought forth an intense debate involving various characters of Brazilian society. Its adoption marks a turning point in the policy of the Brazilian State that, in the dialogue with the civil society movements, namely black movements and members and representatives of civil society, begins to consider the concept of race in their decisions. Through several processes, universities have adopted this policy, showing its importance as a character in the debate. The impact caused in the press, that took the matter in its editorial project, shows the relevance of the subject in the current context of Brazilian society. Understanding how this debate takes place involving the Brazilian State, the movements of organized society and universities, and how the press as an area for sense amplification in modern societies addresses the theme are the focus of this reflection. Taking as reference the specifics of the characters involved in the debate, and using notions and concepts of Critical Discourse Analysis, a corpus was built consisting of documents, historical records, reports, statistics and demographics, legislation and newspaper articles. The analysis was based on editorials and articles of opinion published in the O Globo newspaper, from 2004 to 2010, and sought to find out how, in the discourse of the press, language is put into the service of a particular ideological perspective that, while rejecting quotas, feeds an conservative ideological discourse in the process of confronting the educational inequalities and their effects.
