Veja o MST! - Um frame revelado

The present work is an analysis of two magazine reports referring to the episode of the invasion of Córrego da Ponte Farm, situated in Buritis, MG, which happened on March 23rd, 2002, led by the Landless Workers Movement (MST). Córrego da Ponte is property of the family of Fernando Henrique Cardoso (The president of Brazil at that time). The first of those reports (Veja Magazine, April 3rd, 2002, p. 46 to 50) is seen in details, since it presents elements of an idealized cognitive model - frame (Fauconnier, 1997) underlying the superstructure of the text. The existence of such frame, revealed by certain linguistic elements, especially the lexical choice, tends to raise dualistic interpretations of the socio-political event being reported. The second one (Isto é Magazine, edition 1696, April 03rd, 2002, p. 31 to 34) is taken as a differentiated parameter, for comparison to the analysis proposal for the first report.
