Resumo: | Political discourse gives an important clue to the importance of key concepts with ideological political relevance, in the political system. That is the case of social class, religion and political parties, considering their role in political and electoral terms. The social class concept has been long and widely debated in political sociology. Its importance in political language and discourse is the key issue of this research. The focus of this study is the importance of social class, considering the segmentation of different civil society groups as expressed in political discourse. The aim is to analyse political speeches made by the most important political actor in the nation, the President. Our scope of analysis covers the timeline since the first stages in Portuguese democracy following the Revolution of April 1974, and extends until 2006. Content analysis technique will be used to address it. The expected results point towards the loss of importance of social class, as a traditional key concept, which evolved in quite extensive ways, in its application to contemporary political messages. This study tends to converge with the mainstream literature that has elaborated on the structural and permanent loss of importance of social class in politics, including in electoral terms. |

Este é o caso da classe social, da religião e dos partidos políticos, considerando o seu papel em termos políticos e eleitorais. O conceito de classe social tem sido longa e amplamente debatido na sociologia política. A sua importância na linguagem e no discurso políticos constitui o objeto desta investigação. O foco deste estudo é a importância da classe social, considerando a segmentação dos diferentes grupos da sociedade civil citados no discurso político. O objetivo é analisar os discursos políticos do ator político mais importante do país, o Presidente da República. O enfoque da análise centra-se no período a partir das primeiras fases na democracia Português após a Revolução de Abril, de 1974, e estende-se até 2006. A técnica de análise de conteúdo será a utilizada para esta concretização. Os resultados esperados apontam para a perda de importância da classe social, como conceito-chave tradicional, o qual evoluiu de modo bastante extensivo, na sua aplicação a mensagens políticas contemporâneas. Este estudo tende a convergir com a literatura dominante que elaborou sobre a perda estrutural e permanente da importância do conceito de classe social na política, incluindo em termos eleitorais.Escola Superior de Comunicação SocialComunicação pública2015-10-16info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://journals.openedition.org/cp/1005oai:revues.org:cp/1005engurn:doi:10.4000/cp.1005http://journals.openedition.org/cp/1005Santo, Paula do Espíritoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-11-24T11:07:37Zoai:revues.org:cp/1005Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:14:28.762843Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
