O Discurso da Diplomacia Ambiental e as Interações com o Contexto da Contemporaneidade: uma Análise das Intercorrências da Cooperação Internacional - 10.5102/uri.v4i2.226

Abstract

This article deals with Environmental Diplomacy and its interactions with the context of contemporaneity since a preliminary analysis of discourses that have characterized this practice. As an example of international cooperation and of the inter-occurencies of the discourse is the case of cellulose plants in Uruguay. Discourse analysis involves understanding of historical process, cultural and ideological context in which the analysed texts have been socially constructed. Orlandi(2002) stresses the importance of the contextualization of the political, as well as of the symbols indicating power relationships, the way meanings become history, and the way the discourses interfers upon actors, society and history. It woul be, for that author, an appropriate way to unveil the mechanisms of power and domination, for instance, within language.
