Imagens (entre)vistas. A construção de identidades na entrevista política televisiva

Abstract

The political interview on television is a manifestation of the necessary but complex relationship between the political sphere and the sphere of media. The nature of public discourse extends the communicative context of the interview to a third participant, the audience. In the relation with the audience lies the shared objective and importance of this communicative act: to participate in the (re) construction or improvement of public opinion. Aiming to analyze political interviews on Television, we will consider, specifically, the discursive construction of the participants’ images in relation to the dialogical structure of this verbal interaction genre.
