RESUMO

This thesis discusses the complex issue of authorship in the press and demonstrates that a responsible performance of journalism does not imply deletion, but management of intersubjective relations inherent to language use. The study also shows that even serious journalistic material is a product of subjectivation when it reflects cultural values in effect, and it is a subjectivation vector when it refracts them, designing a manner of treating the ethical tensions proper of the discursive sphere in which it is inserted. In order to do that, the way how the newspaper O Dia articulates the utterance subjects in awarded texts in the process of rebuilding its institutional identity towards seriousness is described. Journalistic texts consist of communicative units from the Bakhtinian dialogic point of view, which conceives interaction as the founding principle of language, updated in a discursive chain, the links of which are the utterance. In this condition, it is understood that news and reportage, among other types of journalistic texts, are founded on intersubjective relations that realize human communication and that are socially and historically built. Those relations are not limited to the immediate situation of language use, and they rule cultural operation. From this theoretical perspective, the notions of authorship, speaker, addressee and object work as categories of analysis which give access to discursive phenomena that mobilize and are mobilized by subjectivation processes. The selected corpus is composed of three series of reportage awarded in specialized contests and of prescriptive texts of the journalistic work, namely: reformulations of the press law, the Ethical Code of Journalists, the writing manual of the newspaper and the norms of contests. The choice of the awarding situation is due to the fact that in this context the journalistic work constitutes an object of discourse. Thus, dialogues established between the prescription and the award unveil values attested in and by the journalistic sphere. The analysis shows a tendency of O Dia to treat the characters which compose the object of discourse differently. This manner of managing ethical conflicts sometimes corroborates a legitimating editorial identity posture, when it joins hegemony discourse, and some other times it functions as a resistance mechanism, making room for negotiation of values and social change. On the one hand, the demonstrative forms of utterance prove the commitment of the newspaper with the sphere. On the other hand, the movements of discursive adaptation in different contests show the influence of contemporary cultural operation, which does not presuppose identity stability
