A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SCIENTIFIC-POLITICAL-BUSINESS DISCOURSE IN BRAZIL AND RUSSIA

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyse a relatively recent type of discourse: the scientific-political-business discourse, and to show examples of it in two countries, Brazil and Russia. The paper approaches the dialogue of contemporary scientific discourse along with other spheres of human activity – those of politics and business – by analysing topics discussed in two forums of economic development (in São Paulo and St. Petersburg). The research is based on Bakhtin’s ideas about dialogue and on the discursive and comparative analysis carried out by CLESTHIA axe sens et discours, a research group from the University of Sorbonne Nouvelle, in Paris. One of the concepts developed by this group is the tertium comparationis (or element of comparison), which is used in this work. The results point to the appropriation, for business discourse, of the authority conferred to science to legitimize business practices, and also to the ideological similarity – a result of globalized productive relations established in both countries.摘要 本文旨在描述并分析一种相对新兴的话语类型——科学-政治-商业话语（scientific-political-business discourse），并以巴西与俄罗斯两国为例展示该类话语的具体实例。本文以分析两场分别设于圣保罗与圣彼得堡的经济发展论坛的讨论议题为路径，探讨当代科学话语与人类其他活动领域（政治与商业领域）之间的对话关系。本研究依托巴赫金的对话理论，以及巴黎索邦新大学（University of Sorbonne Nouvelle）旗下研究团队CLESTHIA axe sens et discours所开展的话语分析与比较分析工作。该团队提出的核心概念之一为比较元（tertium comparationis，即比较要素），本研究亦沿用了这一概念。研究结果显示，商业话语会挪用被赋予科学的权威性以合法化自身的商业实践，同时两国还呈现出意识形态层面的相似性，这一现象源于两国均已建立起全球化生产关系。
