Análise dos sentidos ideológicos presentes nas medidas provisórias editadas no primeiro governo Lula (2003-2006)

Abstract

This thesis aims to present an analysis of the ideology of temporary acts issued in the first Lula administration. Based on a broader research project, which aims to present a new methodology of ideological classification of Brazilian political parties, this paper developed its methods. According to this meaning, it is understood the necessity to take into account the lag of the ideological-party classification present in the dictates of the hegemonic national political science. For this reason, the relevance of presenting a methodology to classify the ideology of Brazilian parties that encompasses the different meanings emanating from the discursive political field is defended. Understanding that taking the notions of "right", "left" and "ideology" as concepts given “a priori” results in a theoretical-methodological failure, this work sought to apprehend the aforementioned meanings from the discursive articulation that emanates from the pronouncements of federal parliamentarians in the scenario of the Chamber of Deputies, in this way, it was possible to perceive that the significance of the political field comes from the field itself. This compilation of pronouncements generated data that resulted in a Table of Ideological Senses, whose fundamental role is to enable the operationalization of the analysis. This framework, built within the scope of the IdAD research group, is made up of meanings derived from the parliamentarian pronouncements and based on the systematization of the most recurrent ideological senses, relates the levels of ideological specters to the most specific public policies. The ideological classification proposed here makes it necessary to clarify, it does not aim at any moment to present an essentialistic analysis or to intuit that "this party" is essentially left or right, on the contrary, this classification intends to develop a mechanism sensitive to the present ideological oscillations in the chosen time cut. Through this, it was possible to perceive which policies contained in the temporary acts of the first Lula government are situated in a more right or left spectrum from the Table of Ideological Senses.
