Abstract

The main objective of this study was to analyze, through Pêcheux Discourse Analysis, aspects of the representation of women in the presidential speeches of Cristina Kirchner, Dilma Rousseff and Michelle Bachelet, while presiding over their countries as Women Heads of State", among the years of 2006 and 2014. For this purpose the French Speech Analysis (AD) perspective proposed by Michel Pêcheux and the theoretical contribution of the author Eni P. Orlandi were used among others. The methodological criteria applied in this qualitative research were made up of secondary data on the adressed subject. This search provided the necessary steps in the construction of a theoretical corpus constituted by the women presidents’ speeches, from the choice of three speeches of each one , totaling nine discourses of reference for analysis. In the body of the work there is a brief bibliographical construction of these women, as well as their meaning, with emphasis on their discourses in relation to woman. It is emphasized that a key factor for the legitimization of a discourse is the relevance of the statement, in this case the political discourse of the women Republicpresidents and their meanings. It was possible to conclude from the analyzed discourses that the women presidents reveal themselves as spokeswomen for the image of feminine gender in their pronouncements.
