A reforma trabalhista de 2017: estudo da narrativa jornalística do Portal G1

Abstract

This research presents as thematic the approach of journalistic narrative about the alteration of the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT), established by Law 13,467 in 2017. By understanding journalistic narratives as meaning-making strategies, this research evaluates twenty-five news items published in the online space entitled “Labor Reform brings changes to the CLT”, part of the Economy/Contests and Employment section of the G1 Portal. It is proposed to identify which were the linguistic resources selected by the vehicle, in the treatment of the Reform, and if they were biased to the point of exalting the possible benefits to the growth of the labor market. The objective is also to examine whether the G1 Portal, by belonging to an institution representing the neoliberal system, used political-ideological arguments in the dissemination of its views on the likely consequences of the Reform on the daily lives of the workforce Brazilian. Based on a theoretical framework that contemplates the effects of globalization (BAUMAN, 1999), the meanings of work in contemporaneity (ANTUNES, 2009) and production under a 24/7 regime (CRARY, 2016), the methodology consists of bibliographical and documentary, as well as pragmatic analysis of journalistic narrative (MOTTA, 2007) enriched by the content analysis described by Laurence Bardin (2016). At the end of the analysis process, it is concluded that the textual arguments used by Grupo Globo did not clearly demonstrate the effects of the reform changes for the Brazilian worker and that they also made evident the advantages to be obtained by the business segment, even if for this is necessary to normalize the loss of labor rights as a necessity for the country's economic advancement.
