Análise do discurso no institucionalismo organizacional: possibilidades a partir do discurso midiático

Abstract: The essay aims to discuss implications and methodological possibilities of analyzing media discourse participating in the social (re)construction of active institutional patterns. Drawing on Phillips, Lawrence and Hardy's (2004) framework, discourse and organizational institutionalism are articulated, inserting media as a participant in constructing social reality as an actor that is both influenced by and influential inside in an institutional context, appearing as a symbolic system, and as an interactional loci. Implications and possibilities regarding how to proceed methodologically in terms of performing empirical investigations approaching and studying media discourse in organizations – and in organizational fields – are outlined.

Sem) saber e (com) poder nos estudos organizacionais

Abstract: Bacon claims that knowledge is power. Tragtenberg disagrees. This debate is now more important that can be imagined. Therefore, the main aim of this article is to examine the relationships between knowledge and power nowadays, taking into consideration the role of science and the elements immediately related to it. The most specific objectives of this study are: to understand the meaning of philosophy and science and their relationship with ideology; to examine how the discourse of the axiological neutrality of science is presented as a modern myth and how "faith" fits into philosophy and science nowadays; to reflect on the consolidation of science as a productive force and/or as a commodity in the current economic system; to highlight the importance of the military industrial complex as a financer of many current scientific studies; to understand the reasoning process, evaluating the importance of pragmatism and university bureaucracy as a statement of science nowadays. The text concludes that both knowledge as power is possible (Bacon) and the lack of knowledge, but with power (Tragtenberg) when it comes to understanding the relationship between knowledge and power.
