XIII Cenas da Enunciação

The XIII CENAS DA ENUNCIAÇÃO [Scenes of Enunciation], themed in this edition as “Politics: discursive readings on scene”, is a traveling event promoted by the Research Center Formulas and Stereotypes: Theory and Analysis (FEsTA/IEL-Unicamp). In 2026, the event is jointly organized by the Graduate Program in Linguistics (PPGLin), the Graduate Program in Memory: Language and Society (PPGMLS), and the Discourse Analysis Research Group (GPADis) at the State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB).

The main goal of the meeting is to promote academic and interinstitutional debate on discourse analysis, bringing together researchers, professors, and students from several universities across the country. Over two days of in-person, free programming, the seminar will highlight the multiple dimensions of contemporary political discourse, articulating discussions on the Democratic Rule of Law, right-wing and left-wing discourses, conservatism, contemporary fascism, whiteness, and the networks of meaning linking politics, memory, religion, and justice.
