Acesso em: 12 maio 2023.e- 2237-6984http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/22567This article aims to analyze some statements produced in Brazilian media, in order to understand the types of discursives relations which form the political practices in the presente and which reveal the necessities of conservationist, social and moral values in the economy and politics. We take as hypothesis that the argumentative task occurs in the tensions produced in strategic joke of knowledge-power and in discursive event emergence. Also, we agree that the swerve on left in the political discourse can explain the conservationist decisions and proposals, when this discourse circulate in media. We base on Michel Foucault ideas to talk about security device, men conduct in a market economy and conduction of characters in religious and legal practices.porAcesso AbertoDiscurso políticoMídiaAcontecimentoArgumentaçãoDiscourse politicsMediaEventArgumentationArtigohttps://doi.org/10.17648/eidea-16-2219
