Language and exclusion: media discourse on Brazilian teachers and schools

The focus of this study is the discourse produced by the media about Brazilian schools, specially the discourse about teachers and the way they are represented. Our analysis shows that teachers are included in the discourses produced to be excluded as they are pointed as responsible for the weaknesses and problems the Brazilian educational system has been facing. This text has the objective of discussing those representations and the kind of subject media discourse is constructing, questioning other aspects that are crucial for the understanding of our identities.
