SUMMARY:

This thesis is affiliated with the materialist Analysis of Discourse, inaugurated by Michel Pêcheux, and aims to analyze the meaning effects of the neoliberal discourse on the Pension Reform, in different discursive formations. The study corpus is composed of discursive sequences extracted from Brazilian government documents on Social Security Reform available on official websites and historical records that deal with the constitution of Social Security in Brazil, as well as discursive sequences formulated from materials published in website of a union representation that represents workers, the Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT), and of reports published in Folha de São Paulo. Theoretical-analytical devices were mobilized, such as conditions of speech production, memory, meaning effect, metaphorical effect and also neoliberal discourse, taking into account the contributions of authors of Analysis of Discourse, historical materialism and researchers/ those who study Social Security. Our gesture of interpretation is based on the main argument supporting the speeches on screen, the “Social Security gap”, which produces the effects of restricting the rights of the working class in a context of advancement of neoliberal policies, which aim at counter-reforming the Brazilian State to respond to the demands of capital in crisis. In this way, metaphors such as “Social Security breach” seek to convince society that reforms are necessary for the nation's development, while promoting the State's retreat from social rights and intensifying the offensive of capital on work.
