The ideology propagated by the media discourse is disseminated in diverse social groups, establishing values for evaluation of the reality and influencing social behavior. The analyses performed aimed to demystify the language that supposedly has no intentionality and to observe the confrontation between this language and the individual, its history and ideology. It will be possible to conclude that ingenuous texts or non influent authorship did not exist. In this paper it is elucidated, by means of a theoretical procedure of the Discourse Analysis, that the language plays an important role as vehicle of thought expression and values of a determined time / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo examinar as marcas e mecanismos discursivos nos artigos que abordam a temática da espiritualidade e da feminilidade na Revista Claudia, e de sua relação com o paradigma comportamental da mulher contemporânea. A ideologia veiculada pelo discurso da mídia é disseminada nos diversos grupos sociais, estabelecendo valores que servem de instrumentos para avaliação da realidade, influenciando o comportamento social. A análise se propôs a desmistificar a linguagem desprovida de intencionalidade, bem como observar o seu confronto, com o sujeito, a história e a ideologia, permitindo-nos concluir que não se pode pensar em textos ingênuos ou em autoria sem influências, principalmente no que concerne aos efeitos de sentido do texto a partir da interação entre enunciador e enunciatário. Neste trabalho elucida-se, por meio de um procedimento teórico da Análise do Discurso, que a linguagem desempenha um papel importante como veículo de expressão de pensamentos e valores de uma determinada época

Infertility politics implies a role for the state in regulating the relationships between different parties involved in the medicalized process of reproduction, namely would-be-parents (infertile couples or individuals), gamete donors, surrogate mothers, fertility specialists, etc. Policies adopted by the Canadian federal government in 2004 as regards assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) were largely inspired by British regulations. Despite this similar start, Canadian policies never lead to implementation; the province of Quebec rapidly contested the federal Assisted Human Reproduction Act before the courts; and many issues of assisted conception were regulated in a heterogeneous manner by the provinces. Meanwhile in Britain, the implementation of the policies created many disparities among the regions of the country; the principle of the law was thoroughly contested and scrutinized; and the sites of deliberation were multiple in spite of the existence of a national regulatory agency. First, the author argues that assisted reproduction technologies cannot be taken as one policy domain, but is an umbrella label for a variety of policy issues. In that context, ARTs are unpacked in order to study, at the system level, the practices related to the overcoming of infertility. I focus on three sub-issues: access to fertility treatments, including the question of public funding and access criteria; gamete and embryo donation, including the question of filiation and donor conceived children’s right to know their biological origins; and surrogacy or the enforcement of pre-natal gestational surrogacy arrangements. Second, by mapping the variety of discourses and arenas mobilized by a range of actors, this study shows how framing and reframing dynamics influence public policies and their implementation. Third, by comparing frame mobilization and discursive dynamics between Quebec, Ontario and England this analysis demonstrates how frame alignment can be a necessary condition for a frame to be performative and influence policy outcomes. Depending on the context in which it occurs, frame transformation, amplification, extension or bridging can induce stability or trigger a cascade of events that will lead to policy change or to a change in the implementation of a policy.
