This essay contains a discoursive analysis of fifteen travel reports from five of the largest papers in Sweden. The travel reports contains recaptions from wildlife tourism experiences were the predators are the main target, or at least one of the main targets. Seven of the reports are from Sweden and eight of them from Russia, Rumania, Finland, Turkey and the United States. Predators in this essay aims to those in Sweden called ”the big five”, these are: bears, wolves, lynxes , wolverines and golden eagles. The purpose was to study the general but also divergent discourses in the reporters perceptions of wildlife tourism with focus on predators in these travel reports. The theories used in the thesis is about the ”tourist gaze” and the ”post-modern tourist”. The questions in my study have been formed based on these two theories and reads as follows: What was the unique object that the reporters wanted to experience? What specific symbols did the reporters highlight as important to the overall experience? Which parts of the experience were new to the reporters? What evidence did the reporters highlight to prove that the experiences were authentic? How did the postmodern tourist reveal itself in the travel reports? I came to the conclusion that the unique object that reporters wanted to experience were the predators, in cases when the predators were the only purpose of the trip. When the case was otherwise, the unique object contained of other cultural or natural values. The symbols that were important to the experience were different cultural and natural values that mainly focused on wilderness and rural traits. In cases where the predators were not the unique object they were rather symbols for the untamed, wild nature. The lifestyle and characteristics of the hosts in the form of locals and staff were also important symbols. Parts of the various experience rooms and the hosts natural lifestyles were new to the reporters and differed from the reporters’ modern lifestyle. The characteristics of the predators were symbols for the experience’s authenticity Other symbols were the hosts' stories about the place, about the predators and their everyday lives. While local food and other forms of local cultural expressions were also important symbols. The postmodern tourist spoke throughout the travel reports. This type of predator tourism can be considered to be very well adapted to the post-modern tourist. To watch and track wild predators in their natural environment is very suitable for the post-modern tourist's ideas about seeking out the authentic and natural along with a small group of travelers. The reporters consciously disassosiated themselves from the great hordes of mass tourists, highlighted the natural and authentic characteristics of hosts and experienceroom, something that tells that the postmodern tourist used the touristic gaze to look at and retell their experience.

Therefore, the aim of this Thesis is to analyze the political discourse on migration in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. The analysis is based on the hypothesis of the existence of two consistent discourse attitudes, which represent restrictive and...

The strive for control over employees has developed throughout the years. This paper has its focus on how normative control can work as a powerful method to create and uphold a sought for behavior. Many companies have found an interest in a higher moral stance to get competitive advantages, and offer their customers and partners a more ethical product. This phenomenon has in Sweden resulted in a sphere of companies who has earned the R-licens. The R-licens is earned by companies if they fulfill ethical and cultural criteria. This paper explores how a telemarketing company reinforce these ethical guidelines and how the company use normative control to reassure what they consider ethical behavior. The paper has a social constructionist view and the data was gathered by semi-structured interviews. The data was analyzed via discourse analysis.The conclusion is that the normative control effectively has created an environment of a ethical perspective in the company. The control is due to a dualistic surveillance (horizontal and vertical) and that the employees take a stand against external conceptions of how telemarketing works and how competing companies operate. Their beliefs and trust in their moral standings and methods of selling is better and more honest (compare to their competition) makes them justify and reinforce the culture and its surveillance over them. Their shared beliefs are so strong that actions outside the culture are unacceptable and may result in lay-offs. The contribution of this paper is a window of observation, how normative control works to ground the ethical phenomenon on the company.

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / Filiada à linha de pesquisa Discurso: Sujeito, História e Ideologia, esta dissertação apresenta os resultados de uma investigação que, a partir da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, busca compreender a forma pela qual o discurso acerca da diversidade regional do Brasil, presente nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, deriva e produz, no livro didático, o efeito de sentido de desigualdade, quer nas informações referentes aos aspectos físicos das regiões brasileiras, quer nas referências a seus aspectos culturais. O que se pretende com esta análise é observar a maneira como a formação ideológica do capitalismo constrói discursos que produzem efeitos de sentido pautados por uma concepção de escola voltada para o mercado de trabalho e para o que as obras didáticas consideram como desenvolvimento econômico da nação. Para desenvolver a pesquisa, foram constituídos como corpora de análise os documentos oficiais referentes aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais e os livros didáticos correspondentes à disciplina de Geografia, relativos ao 7º ano do ensino fundamental, cuja escolha deveu-se ao posicionamento desta pesquisa de que este é, atualmente, um dos principais instrumentos de apoio ao professor, utilizado como fonte de pesquisa em sala de aula mediando o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. É a partir deles, de seus textos e de suas ilustrações, que serão descritas as marcas da deriva do discurso para, com isso, analisar como se dá a relação entre escola e ideologia a partir do funcionamento do discurso pedagógico, buscando refletir sobre as condições de produção do discurso enquanto parte constitutiva da relação sujeito/linguagem na produção e circulação de sentidos. O trabalho será desenvolvido através da perspectiva teórica e metodológica da Análise do Discurso fundada por Michel Pêcheux, que compreende o discurso como um objeto sócio-histórico. Para que se fundamente a reflexão, haverá um diálogo com os trabalhos de Marx e Althusser a respeito do materialismo histórico e do funcionamento da Ideologia. Ainda em Althusser, servirá de apoio sua reflexão sobre Aparelho Ideológico de Estado tomando a escola como o lugar de luta de classes. O que se espera com esta pesquisa é que, através da análise do discurso dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais e dos livros didáticos de Geografia, e a divulgação de seus resultados, se desenvolvam críticas que possam contribuir para o debate sobre o caráter ideológico dos livros didáticos e da escola de modo geral.

Proposals for lexical studies in discursive perspective have gradually gaining ground in linguistic studies, motivated by the theoretical conception of lexicology and lexicography, which favor the consideration of the contexts and the uses of lexical units. This study is linked to the linguistic theory of lexicology, developed in a discursive perspective, based on a dialogical model of enunciation, which believes that words carry the memory of past use and therefore have an intertextual dimension that determines their use according to the circumstances of utterance. We start from the standpoint that dialogism is recorded in words, and the choice of language units used in the utterances is made on the basis of the interaction between reality and sense, which is built by the circulation of information in society. As a first step, we conducted a broad historical research on the Portuguese politics and society in eighteenth-century, and about the emergence of the first printed newspapers in Europe. Next, quantitative studies were performed on the corpus data, which indicated the preferential issue of the journal, the military policy.

ANOTATION The theoretical thesis should point out the development and transformation of power, its mutual relationships and social control, all through discourse analysis of political practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Except of other theoretical thinkers, for example later Nikolas Rose, Michel Foucault mostly contributed to these phenomenons. Because power is socially constructed phenomenon and it depends on particular context, we are going to follow development and transformation of power on the concept of CSR. Concept of CSR will give us the frame for this analysis and helps us to recognize moments in CSR practices where the Foucault's model of governing, the concept of power and knowledge, discursive and disciplination practices are present. Also Rose's concepts of market texhniques and rise of new subject and subjectivity. These terms help us to cover economical and market practices on the background of firm's social and enviromental responsibility. KEY WORDS Corporate social responsibility, power relations, social control, disciplination, discoursive practice, subject of consumption, discoursive analysis
