The aim of this thesis is to historize discourses of parenthood by analyzing how they are negotiated and legitimized in Swedish non-literary and wide spread texts published in the 1870s, 1940s and 2010s. The analyzed corpus consists of the following: family and women’s movement magazines from the 1870s; a public counseling brochure and weekly magazines from the 1940s; blog texts; online health counseling; parent magazines; and public welfare information from the 2010s. The study moreover aims to make an inventory of which visual and lexico-grammatical resources realize legitimating strategies in the texts. Theoretically, the thesis draws on constructivist and feminist discourse theories and social semiotics. There is an emphasis on subject positions and power relations. The thesis investigates which parental subject positions are legitimized in the corpus, what power relations they reproduce, and furthermore how different positions are transformed as discontinuities of each other and over time. The results are presented in four analytical chapters. In the first of these, findings derived from the legitimation analysis of the 1870s are presented. The following two chapters present the results derived from the analysis of the 1940s and 2010s. The fourth research chapter presents an inventory of semiotic resources with the potential to realize legitimating strategies. One crucial discourse-historical result regards how the position of the mother as primary caretaker predominates in the research data. However, the position is mainly legitimized during the 1870s and transformed into legitimacy during the 1940s and 2010s. The analysis furthermore captures how the same position is legitimized during the 1870s with reference to a discourse concerning a divine order of things. Although this divine discourse is muted during the 1940s and 2010s, it continues to imprint the representations. Moreover, the analysis captures how discourses of legitimate parenthood constitute discourses of manhood, Swedishness, expert knowledge, responsiveness to children, consumption and risk management throughout the investigated periods, yet in discontinuous ways. The overall conclusion drawn is that legitimized discourses from one historical setting can constitute silent foundations for representations in later historical contexts. By unraveling history from past to present, the thesis shows how it is possible to identify presupposed lineages of today’s ideas and discourses, and thereby to deconstruct hegemonic truths and the power relations they reproduce.

<p>Uloga kulture u dru&scaron;tvenim promenama javlja se kao nezaobilazna tema u kontekstu postsocijalističke<br />tranzicije. Ispostavilo se da institucionalna transformacija političkog i ekonomskog uređenja dru&scaron;tva nije<br />dovoljna, te da uspeh institucionalnih promena uveliko zavisi od nacionalne kulture, i promena na nivou cele<br />nacije (Elste, Offe, Preuss, 1998:19).

It<br />turned out that institutional transformation of political and economic systems is not sufficient and that social<br />success of instituional changes depends on culture, and requires changes at the national level (Elster, Offe,<br />Preuss, 1998:19). Economic transition has proven particularly problematic given that economic activities<br />make a significant part of daily routine for every member of a society, hence constantly bringing about<br />problems related to economic transformation of a society. Looking beyond abstract indicators contemporary<br />economists rely on economy is obviously part of culture (Beugelsdijk i Maseland, 2014:116). Social and<br />cultural changes in structure and substance of social institutions are manifested over time as changes in<br />cultural patterns (Koković 2005: 228). By applying contemporary economic methods and theories new<br />institutional economists try mainly to avoid an argument present in other social sciences &ndash; institutions are not<br />a result of efficient solution to economic problems (Granovetter u Biggard ed. 2002:88), but rather something<br />much more complex. Cultural patterns as habitual behavioural models manifest relatively stable phenomena,<br />and make foundation for institutionalization &ndash; when such behaviour finds itslef within larger coherent units it<br />turns into institutionalized behaviour, contributing to institution building (Koković 2005: 228). One of the<br />less explored directions in sociology of culture is legitimation of cultural patterns, and subsequently<br />legitimation of institutions and institutional systems. Legitimating mechanisms as identifiable social facts<br />reach into a broad field of culture, including social structure, power relations and similar, and therefore<br />cannot be analyzed separately (Berger, Luckmann, 1991. Searl, 1996). With four functional levels, according<br />to Berger and Luckmann, legitimation connects all socio-cultural world of a community and its members. In<br />the context of post-socialist transition in Serbia the state of economic culture is manifested through relation<br />between institutions of property, market and national state, as specific articulations of Serbian culture and<br />relevant cultural patterns.<br />The goal of the thesis was to provide insight into a relationship between institutions of property, market and<br />the state as an institutional entity from the perspective of economic culture, relying primarily on legitimation<br />of institutional and cultural patterns and systems. Having in mind complexity of the task &ndash; contemporary<br />Serbian society had to be explained from economic culture perspective &ndash; it was necessary to combine a<br />variety of sources and evidence, and accordingly a different ways of description, analysis and interpretation.<br />Apart from historical evidence and works of scholars dealing with socioeconomic aspects of Serbian society<br />and history two other sources of evidence were used: European Values Survey (EVS), and Southeastern<br />European Social Study Project (SEESSP). This empircal evidence was analysed using cluster analysis in<br />order to explore legitimation patterns that corespond to cultural patterns in contemporary Serbian society.<br />Recent empirical evidence was used to assess the role market as an institution plays in Serbian economic<br />culture, and its relation to institutions of property and the state, as well as changes from XIX century onwards<br />&ndash; to analyse how economic life of Serbian society was organised in this cultural-institutional triangle.<br />From methodological and theoretical side legitimation mechanisms proved to be solid indicators of cultural<br />patterns, even if data used was not optimal. On the other hand, and not unexpected, introduction of market<br />mechanisms into a national economy turned out to be dependent on the context defined by existing<br />institutional boundaries related to property and state organization, as well as more general kultural patterns<br />and ethical norms. We cannot simply talk about introduction of market economy, but rather about specific<br />market mechanisms and their structue and position in general economic practice of a society.<br />Regarding Serbian society specifically, identified cultural patterns coincide with conclusions of other authors<br />where egalitarian principles, collectivism and reliance on the state as a dominant economic player have<br />prominent role. Historical analysis also suggests that such a culture is not a result of many decades of<br />socialism but rather its roots reach much farther into the past, as a constant common to different sociopolitical<br />systems. Cultural patterns from the first decade of XXI century suggest legitimation deficit in<br />relation to the market. The market is not parceived as a mechanism appropriate for wealth distribution, and<br />majority of cultural patterns do not percieve market as a good criteria for inequalities regulation. Also, even<br />though most cultural patterns suggest preference towards private property, the norm linked to accumulation<br />and liberties to use property leads to ethical norm of Serbian society. Given the results, and although<br />indirectly, it can be claimed with certainty that ethical norm of relative egalitarianism in functional (as the<br />most appropriate mechanism to uphold and reproduce the norm) and legitimation (by establishing institutional interdependence) sense rely on the state as an institution &ndash; not the market. Long lasting</p><p>transitional uncertainity and lack of real reforms can be pointed at as reasons for identified situation in<br />Serbian society and culture, as well as a cause of cognitively dissonant legitimation and cultural patterns.<br />The research suggests conclusion in three main points: economic prosperity of a society requires<br />unambiguous cultural patterns which can provide clear guidance for economic action of an individual; one of<br />the preconditions is stability of the framework in which economic life happens, something we can with<br />caution claim is the situation in Serbia today; and finally, apart from stability and clear value orientation,<br />economic culture in Serbia depends equally on ability of society itself to eliminate cultural norms and<br />patterns for which there is a modern alternative. Apart from these conclusions theorietical framework and<br />results of this work by openning new questions present a solid ground for future research of economic culture<br />in Serbia.<br />&nbsp;</p>

Entre 2008 et 2011, les lois de bioéthique françaises ont été examinées pour la seconde fois. A cette occasion, plusieurs débats polémiques ont été rouverts au cours d’une large consultation associant des « experts », des représentants de la société civile organisée et - pour la première fois en la matière - des citoyens lambda. Cette procédure originale, les « états généraux de la bioéthique », est étudiée par l’intermédiaire de la discussion relative à la potentielle légalisation de la gestation pour autrui (GPA). La théorie habermassienne de l’espace public et de la délibération permet de questionner ce processus de mise en discussion, initié par les mobilisations sociales, pris en charge par les pouvoirs publics et conclu par la promulgation d’une loi. Le concept de légitimité est au cœur de cette recherche, qui interroge ses fondements et met en lumière ses ambigüités. Expertise des comités de sages, recours aux citoyens ordinaires, vote parlementaire, constituent autant d’étapes par lesquelles la décision est progressivement construite et légitimée. Dans le cas présent, le dispositif participatif joue un rôle déterminant, véhiculant des représentations particulières de la démocratie participative, de la formation de l’intérêt général et de la loi « à la française ». / Between 2008 and 2011, the French bioethics laws were examined for the second time. On that occasion, a lot of polemical debates were re-opened, during a broad consultation involving “experts”, representatives of civil society and, for the first time in this field, ordinary citizens. This original procedure, the “états généraux de la bioéthique”, is studied through the controversy over legalization of gestational surrogacy. The Habermasian public sphere and deliberative democracy theory is used to question the discussion process initiated by social mobilizations, managed by public authorities and finalized by the promulgation of a law. Legitimacy is at the core of this doctoral research, which is wondering about its foundations and highlighting its ambiguities. The decision is progressively built and legitimated through the consultation of committees, the participation of citizens and the vote of the Parliament. In this case, the “états généraux de la bioéthique” play a crucial role by conveying some specific perspectives about participatory democracy, general will definition and “French style” law.

Cette thèse porte sur la caractérisation du milieu spécialisé des entreprises du risque technologique aux États-Unis. Dans le cadre de la recherche en anglais de spécialité, il s’agit de démontrer que les multinationales américaines du pétrole et des biotechnologies agricoles partagent un discours et une culture spécifiques, fondés sur une stratégie de légitimation de leurs activités. Cette stratégie de légitimation se manifeste à travers des choix structurels, lexicaux, syntaxiques et rhétoriques qui distinguent le discours spécialisé au sein du monde de l’entreprise. Dans la première partie, nous revenons sur les fondements théoriques et méthodologiques de ce travail : nous précisons la singularité du milieu formé par Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer, Dow AgroSciences, Chevron, ExxonMobil et Conoco Phillips et présentons la méthodologie en trois temps, qui reflète le caractère pluridisciplinaire de l’anglais de spécialité. La seconde partie porte sur les manifestations de la stratégie de légitimation dans les déclarations de mission, les rapports annuels et les communiqués de presse des multinationales étudiées. L’analyse souligne des modifications de certains critères prototypiques, qui reflètent une conception particulière de la RSE et de la culture d’entreprise. Une perspective civilisationnelle est proposée afin d’éclairer l’adaptation du discours de l’entreprise au contexte local. La dernière partie traite des genres émergents, de l’adaptation des outils du Web 2.0. et de la mise en place de stratégies de « légidivertissement » et de « promodivertissement » sur Internet, afin de répondre aux enjeux communicationnels propres au domaine du risque technologique. / This dissertation focuses on the specialized milieu formed by technological risk companies in the United States. Within the framework of English for Specific Purposes, we aim to show that American multinationals specializing in oil and agricultural biotechnology share a specific discourse and culture based on legitimizing their activities. This legitimation strategy can be identified through structural, lexical, syntactic and rhetorical choices which set apart the specialized discourse of technological risk companies within the corporate world. Part 1 presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of our research: the specificity of the milieu formed by Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer, Dow AgroSciences, Chevron, ExxonMobil and Conoco Phillips is clarified and the methodology, which reflects the pluridisciplinary nature of English for Specific Purposes, is explained. Part 2 concentrates on the manifestations of the legitimation strategy in the mission statements, annual reports and press releases of technological risk companies. The analysis underscores some modifications in the traditional genres of company discourse which reflect a specific vision of CSR and corporate culture. A cultural perspective is suggested to cast light on the local adaptation of corporate discourse. Part 3 concentrates on emerging cybergenres, the adaptation of web 2.0 tools and the use of “promotainment” and “legitainment strategies” on the Internet as a response to the specific communicative needs of technological risk multinationals.

In some of the most established and supposedly immutable liberal democracies, diverse social groups are losing con fi dence not only in established democratic institutions, but in the idea of liberal representative democracy itself. Meanwhile, an illiberal and anti-egalitarian transformation of democracy evolves at an apparently unstoppable pace. This democratic fatigue syndrome , the present article suggests, is qualitatively di ff erent from the crises of Democracy which have been debated for some considerable time. Focusing on mature democracies underpinned by the ideational tradition of European Enlightenment, the article theorizes this Syndrome and the striking transformation of democracy in terms of a dialectic process in which the very norm that once gave birth to the democratic project - the modernist idea of the autonomous subject - metamorphoses into its gravedigger, or at least into the driver of its radical reformulation. The article further develops aspects of my existing work on second-order emancipation and simulative democracy . Taking a theoretical rather than empirical approach, it aims to provide a conceptual framework for more empirically oriented analyses of changing forms of political articulation and participation.

A presente investigação versa sobre as controvérsias acerca da institucionalização da história da arte no Brasil, tendo como objeto central os debates sobre a criação de cursos de graduação na área, por meio do qual objetiva-se refletir sobre a formação e a presença do historiador da arte no Brasil e questionar a relevância da autonomia institucional e epistemológica da história da arte. Pretende-se, a partir de uma história das instituições, empreender uma reflexão epistemológica sobre a presença da história da arte e a formação do historiador da arte no Brasil. Procura-se demonstrar a tese de que a preocupação em constituir um espaço de formação específica em história da arte em nível de graduação e a problematização das histórias da arte produzidas nas universidades brasileiras (evidente, por exemplo, na forma como são propostos os currículos destes cursos) são fundamentais ao debate acerca do que se compreende por história da arte no Brasil hoje e estão diretamente relacionadas ao amadurecimento e à consolidação da autonomia da história da arte enquanto campo científico no país. Para isso, avaliou-se que as particularidades que envolvem a constituição e a configuração atual da história da arte no Brasil poderiam ser mais bem compreendidas retomando o que outrora se projetou, revendo os percursos e avaliando os percalços, de forma a revelar o lugar que a história da arte ocupa hoje no âmbito científico brasileiro. O período histórico que o projeto de pesquisa abrange tem como marco inicial a década de 1950, quando teve início uma série de manifestações favoráveis à criação de um curso superior de história da arte, com destaque para a atuação do historiador da arte Mario Barata. Em 1963, foi criado o primeiro curso específico na área, alocado na estrutura do extinto Instituto de Belas Artes do Rio de Janeiro (IBA-RJ), que originou o bacharelado hoje oferecido pelo Instituto de Artes da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (ART/UERJ). O recorte estende-se até as duas primeiras décadas do século XXI, quando ocorreram importantes reformulações naquele curso e foram criados quatro outros, vinculados à Escola de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (EFLCH/UNIFESP); à Escola de Belas Artes da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (EBA/UFRJ); ao Instituto de Artes da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (IA/UFRGS); e ao Instituto de Artes da Universidade de Brasília (IdA/UnB). Por fim, propõe-se que o reconhecimento das especificidades e limitações da história da disciplina no Brasil possa ajudar a compreender o que significa hoje produzir história da arte entre nós, bem como criar condições fecundas para que se possa prosseguir a partir de tais questionamentos. / The present research deals with the controversies about the institutionalization of art history in Brazil. Its main object is the debates about the creation of undergraduate courses in the area, through which the objective is to reflect on the formation and the presence of the art historian in Brazil and to question the relevance of the institutional and epistemological autonomy of art history. The intention is to, through the study of the history of the institutions, undertake an epistemological reflection on the presence of art history and the formation of the art historian in Brazil. It is sought to demonstrate the thesis that the concern to constitute a space of specific formation in art history at graduation level and the problematization of the histories of art produced in the Brazilian universities (evident, for example, in the forms that the curriculum to those courses are proposed) are fundamental to the debate about what is understood by art history in Brazil today and are directly related to the maturation and consolidation of the autonomy of art history as a scientific field in the country. For this purpose, it was evaluated that the particularities that involve the constitution and the current configuration of art history in Brazil could be better understood by taking back what was once projected, reviewing the routes and evaluating the mishaps, in order to reveal the place that art history occupies today in the Brazilian scientific scope. The historical period that the research project covers has as its initial mark in the 1950s, when a series of demonstrations favoring the creation of an advanced course in art history began, highlighting here the performance of art historian Mario Barata. The creation of the first specific course in the area was in 1963, in the former Instituto de Belas Artes do Rio de Janeiro (IBA-RJ), which originated the bachelors degree, offered today by the Instituto de Artes da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (ART/UERJ). The time range extends to the first two decades of the twenty-first century, when major reformulations occurred in that course and four others were created, linked to the Escola de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (EFLCH/UNIFESP); the Escola de Belas Artes da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (EBA/UFRJ); the Instituto de Artes da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (IA/UFRGS); and the Instituto de Artes da Universidade de Brasília (IdA/UnB). Lastly, it is proposed that the recognition of the specificities and limitations of the history of the discipline in Brazil can help to understand what today means to produce art history among us, as well as to create fertile conditions to continue through such questions.

A presente dissertação tem como o objetivo discutir as dificuldades adicionais de legitimação do Estado Democrático de Direito na Modernidade Periférica, a partir da observação do caso brasileiro. O marco teórico adotado será a teoria dos sistemas de Niklas Luhmann. Para Luhmann, o Estado Democrático de Direito deve ser compreendido como resultado da diferenciação entre o sistema político e o sistema jurídico. Os traços característicos da realidade brasileira (como a exclusão, o personalismo e a corrupção) prejudicam o cumprimento das funções desses dois sistemas funcionais. A falta de confiabilidade, equidade e acessibilidade dos procedimentos estatais, por sua vez, compromete a sua capacidade de absorver e intermediar a conflituosidade social, prejudicando a aceitação das decisões estatais. / This work has as objective to discuss the additional difficulties of legitimation of the democratic state of law in Peripheral modernity, from the observation of the Brazilian case. The theoretical framework adopted is the systems theory of Niklas Luhmann. For Luhmann, the democratic state must be understood as the result of differentiation between the political system and legal system. The characteristics of the Brazilian reality (such as exclusion, personalism and corruption) affect the functions of these two functional systems. The lack of reliability, equity and accessibility of state procedures, in turn, compromises their ability to absorb and mediate the social conflicts, undermining the acceptance of government decisions

Para isso, são examinadas as informações ambientais divulgadas nos relatórios de sustentabilidade das empresas que compõem a carteira do Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) da Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo (BM&FBOVESPA), adotando-se como unidade de numeração os parágrafos evidenciados. A amostra é composta por 30 empresas pertencentes a diversos setores da economia. Quanto à natureza, trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, com objetivo descritivo, abordagem quantitativa do problema e procedimento técnico documental. Os dados obtidos no estudo permitem concluir que as empresas da amostra utilizam a evidenciação ambiental como instrumento para gerenciar sua legitimidade social, fazendo isso de várias formas e utilizando diversas estratégias. Evidenciam suas informações ambientais com o intuito, preferencialmente, de ganhar legitimidade, empregando equilibradamente a forma pragmática, moral e cognitiva em sua evidenciação, relatando ações que visem popularizar seus modelos, fazer adeptos à sua forma de gestão, cooptar integrantes para desenvolver ações ambientais, mostrar que produzem resultados ambientalmente adequados, entre outras. / This study examines how brazilian companies use environmental disclosure to manage its social legitimacy, verifying the purpose of disclosure, if it’s to gain, maintain or repair legitimacy; how this occurs, if it´s a pragmatic, moral or cognitive mode and the strategies used for this purpose. To do this, we examine environmental disclosures in sustainability reports of the companies listed at the Managerial Sustainability Index (ISE) from São Paulo’s Stock Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA), adopting as unit numbering the highlighted paragraphs. The sample consists of 30 companies belonging to various sectors of the economy. It is an applied research with descriptive objective, quantitative approach to the problem and a documentary research as a technical procedure. The data obtained in this study allow us to conclude that the sample companies use environmental disclosure as a tool to manage their social legitimacy, making it in many ways and using different strategies. Demonstrate their environmental information in order, preferably, to gain legitimacy, employing a balanced pragmatic, moral and cognitive in its disclosure, reporting actions aimed to popularize their models, making adherents to its way of management, co-opt members to develop environmental initiatives, show that produce environmentally adequate results, among others.

The methods brought by the Portuguese crown to give the land use resulted in large estates and urban spatial segregation. In Brazil, the right to housing, mentioned in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, got the status of fundamental right, expressed in the 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution, just in 2000. As a consequence of the lack of public housing policies, the illegal occupations have become part of the context of the city, especially in large urban centers. The regularization then became an important instrument to guarantee the legal security of tenure in these occupations and improve the quality of life and living conditions in this population. The law regulated the 11.977/2009 tenure and brought two new tools to assist in this process, the urban demarcation and legalization of possession, allowing the Government to use new instruments to promote the right to housing and the creation of better living conditions for low-income population / A dificuldade que tem o Poder Público de promover e garantir o direito à moradia tem sua origem no período de descobrimento e distribuição de terras do Brasil. Os métodos trazidos pela coroa portuguesa para dar utilidade às terras resultou nos grandes latifúndios e na segregação espacial urbana. No Brasil, o direito à moradia, mencionado na Declaração Universal de Direitos Humanos, passou ao status de direito fundamental na Constituição Federal de 1988 apenas no ano 2000. Como consequência da falta de políticas públicas habitacionais, as ocupações irregulares passaram a fazer parte do contexto da cidade, em especial nos grandes centros urbanos. A regularização fundiária tornou-se então um importante instrumento para garantir a segurança jurídica da posse nessas ocupações e melhorar a qualidade de vida e condições de habitabilidade dessa população. A lei 11.977/2009 regulamentou a regularização fundiária e trouxe dois novos instrumentos para auxiliar nesse processo, a demarcação urbanística e a legitimação de posse, possibilitando ao Poder Público a utilização de novos instrumentos de promoção do direito à moradia e a criação de melhores condições de vida à população de baixa renda

Ma thèse présente une analyse du signifiant Europe dans trois corpus allemand, français, britannique. Chaque corpus contient les programmes électoraux européens des partis politiques nationaux qui ont obtenu au moins une fois un siège au Parlement Européen. La période commence aux premières élections européennes en 1979 et se termine avec les élections européennes de 2004.Une analyse lexicométrique du signifiant Europe dans les trois langues révèle de nouvelles perspectives pour la compréhension linguistique de la notion d'Europe dans ces champs politico-discursifs. Elle permet de tirer des conclusions sur les problèmes de communication au niveau européen, sur l'objectif politique de l'Union Européenne et la légitimation du pouvoir de l'UE. Selon notre hypothèse de recherche, une telle légitimation se fonde sur une conception imaginaire de l'identité européenne commune aux différents peuples. Même si le pouvoir politique peut considérer qu'il est légitimé par une telle conception, l'analyse révèle des différences importantes entre les conceptions imaginaires circulant dans les trois champs discursifs comparés.L'analyse lexicométrique est exploitée sur le plan quantitatif mais aussi au niveau qualitatif. A l'échelle quantitative, l'index, les spécificités d'Europe, ses quasi-synonymes et les cooccurrences d'Europe sont analysés et interprétés. L'approche qualitative du contexte du segment thématique répété Europe est...' conduit à des conclusions supplémentaires. L'analyse de ce segment définitoire cherche à rendre visible, dans une démarche pragmatique, le contenu impliqué des différents énoncés. Cela conduit à figurer l'horizon sémantique au sein duquel le signe Europe apparaît. Les positionnements de la notion d'Europe et les argumentations liées à l'expression linguistique dans les trois différents corpus sont comparés dans cette phase de la recherche afin de mettre en évidence l'horizon discursif dans lequel apparaît la notion d'Europe. / My PhD thesis analysis the signifier Europe in three corpora composed of German, French and British texts. Every corpus contains elections manifestos from national political parties that were represented in the European Parliament at least once with one a seat. The study starts with the first European elections 1979 and ends with the European elections of 2004.An analysis with the help of textual statistical measurements reveals new perspectives on the language comprehension of the notion Europe in the three different fields of political discourses. It allows conclusions about communication problems on a European level, about the political objectives of the European Union and about the legitimation of its political power. According to the research hypothesis the legitimation of the political power of the European Union is based on an imagined conception of a common European identity. Even if the political actors claim that they are legitimized by such an identity the study reveals something different. It shows some substantial differences between the imagined conceptions circulating within the three studied fields of political discourses.The textual corpora are explored with quantitative measurements and also with qualitative methods of text analysis. The frequency, the specific use of Europe and its quasi-synonyms, as the collocation of Europe are measured quantitatively. Additional conclusions were drawn from the qualitative analysis of the thematic word unit Europe is'. The analysis of this word unit is based on a pragmatic understanding of sense and tries to bring to evidence the implied content of the different utterances. In doing so, the semantic horizon of the sign Europe can be represented. During this research phase argumentations linked to the linguistic expression Europe are explored in order to analyse the discursive horizon in which the notion is used in the different discourses.
