This dissertation has as its principal objective to analyze, in the discourse of a news story and a posting on Facebook, both related to events involving racial practices, as well as in their respective comments, how the use of linguistic strategies occurred favoring the denial of racism, investigating how the media and internet users employ these denial strategies and examining the differences and similarities between these discourses.The aforementioned discourses consist our corpora, namely a news piece published on the G1 website about practices embedded with racist content directed to the journalist Maria Julia Coutinho and the first 100 comments on the piece, and post by the humorist Fernando Meirelles on the controversy that involved a black child, who was dressed up by its father as a monkey, as well as the first 100 comments on the post. We draw upon the theoretical framework of the Critical Discourse Studies, especially van Dijk’ s research on racism (2008, 2012a) and his socio-cognitive approach to discourse studies (2012b). We also draw upon Domingues (2003), Fernandes (2008), Guimarães (1995-; 2002; 2009), Ribeiro (1995), among other authors of Sociology and Anthropology, in their studies of racism in Brazil, and Moscovici (2003), for the study of social representations. As a methodological choice for analysis of corpora, we use the strategies and categories proposed by van Dijk (2012a; 2012b) on polarization and denial of racism. Regarding the results of this research, in both cases, we find racism denial marks, however, in the first event, the denials are subtler, because of contextual issues that will be discussed later in depth. At the end of this research, we found that in these events, in fact, the legitimization of racist discourse occurred, through the discursive denial of racism.
