Our object of study is the discourse about the teacher, as a discourse that supports itself in a discourse that we name "discourse by", and, in its workings, supports and legitimizes the knowledge and speech that surround the subjects. The corpus consists of issues of the Brazilian magazine Revista Nova Escola, widely known as "The-one-who-teaches magazine". We understand that this epithet levels both the teacher and the school, simulating the constitution of a "we", which leads us to ask the following question: Is the spokesagent always a "we" in construction? Our answer is "no", especially in the case that one of the elements of that "we" places itself in the position of the one that is in charge and is the spokesagent that has the power to say what is right and what is wrong. Our theoretical background is the Brazilian Discourse Analysis, and we thus consider the distinctions and reformulations undertaken by its proponents in relation to its French affiliation inaugurated by Pêcheux.
