THE DISCOURSES ON VEGANISM IN PHILOSOPHY POPULARISATION MAGAZINES IN BRAZIL AND FRANCE

ABSTRACT In this article we compare the discourses of two philosophy popularisation magazines, one Brazilian and the other French. By doing so, we seek to answer two questions formulated in our postdoctoral project on the discourses of philosophy popularisation magazines in Brazil and France, namely: “How is philosophy presented in Brazilian and French magazines?” and “What is intended with philosophy popularisation in Brazil and France?”. To this end, we selected two articles on the topic of veganism in the Brazilian magazine Filosofia Ciência & Vida and in the French magazine Philosophie Magazine, both published in 2018. The methodology used in the analyses is the comparative discourse analysis, as it has been worked on in Brazil from a Bakhtinian perspective. Thus, we analyse how the evaluative intonations, through the lexical choices made by the authors of the Brazilian and French utterances, contribute to a favourable or not argumentation to veganism. The analysis of dialogic relationships and the forms of transmitting the alien discourse allow us to observe how the dialogue between different spheres of human activity takes place in both magazines, contributing to the elucidation of the role of philosophy popularisation in Brazilian and French magazines.

摘要 本文对巴西与法国的两本哲学普及类杂志的话语体系展开对比分析，借此旨在解答博士后研究项目中提出的两个关于巴法两国哲学普及杂志话语体系的核心问题，即："巴西与法国的杂志如何呈现哲学？"以及"巴法两国的哲学普及工作其宗旨为何？"。为此，我们选取巴西杂志《Filosofia Ciência & Vida》与法国杂志《Philosophie Magazine》2018年刊发的两篇以素食主义为主题的文章作为分析样本。本次分析采用的研究方法为比较话语分析，该方法在巴西学界从巴赫金理论视角得到了发展与应用。据此，我们将分析巴法两国话语文本的作者通过词汇选择所营造的评价语调，如何影响其针对素食主义的论证倾向（支持或反对）。通过对对话关系以及异质话语传递形式的分析，我们得以观察两国杂志中人类活动不同领域间的对话如何展开，进而阐明巴法两国哲学普及工作的角色定位。
