This doctoral thesis is part of the production of the Discursive Practices and Construction of Senses Study Group (CNPq) and of the homonymous research center of the Social Psychology Post-Graduate Studies Program of the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC). The research presented herein more specifically fits in the context that aligns governmentality matters discussed by Foucault and discursive practice theories. In such theories, media plays a key role for being a social product while at the same time having the power to disseminate repertoires and versions of events. Based on the epistemological and theoretical framework we are affiliated with, in this dissertation we assume corruption is a social construction not essential to human nature. It is a very complex phenomenon, present in different societies and in different historical moments. Even though it is part of social life, the idea of corruption is rarely problematized. We have frequently found in our research the affirmation that every politician is corrupt, or even that corruption exists only in Brazil, which has encouraged us to try to understand to a certain degree what causes the naturalization of this phenomenon. Accepting corruption and its effects as something natural that is part of life in society and that has no solution, that it is something that happens every day, is what we call naturalization. In order to demonstrate how this naturalization process occurs, our case study is on how the media publishes information about corruption. By analyzing stories on the Folha de S.Paulo daily, we have attempted to demonstrate news on corruption concentrates in the political sphere. So as to understand the discursive strategies used to construct the corrupt political type, we used the case known as the ambulance mafia or leeches scandal as critical event, and our information source to analyze the construction of the corrupt political type was the Scandals Network website of the Veja magazine
