In this article, we aim to analyze, based on French discourse analysis, a set of texts that treats the possible gaffes committed by the president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, in her pronouncements, during her two government period at the head of the Brazilian presidency. We will work more specifically with the book Dilmês: o idioma da mulher sapiens (in Portuguese) wrote by the journalist Celso Arnaldo de Araujo and published in 2015. The choice of this peculiar corpus has to do with the fact that Araujo's book presents itself as a compilation of the principal gaffes committed by President Dilma and circulated in different communicational devices. For this work, we anchor our reflections based theoretically-methodologically in recent work of Marie-Anne Paveau (2015) about the analysis of the moral dimension of discourses. We start from the hypothesis that the possible gaffes committed by the president of Brazil, beyond a gender issue, can be framed as a "moral discursive event" (PAVEAU, 2015).Downloads
