SUMMARY:

This work aims to investigate, within a media context on politics, the construction of evaluations about presidential candidates in Brazil during the years 2018 and 2022 in two printed publications. The primary corpus for conducting the reflections consists of covers and cover stories from weekly magazines of journalistic and opinionated nature: Isto É (editions 2546, 2549, 2749, and 2753) and Veja (editions 2603, 2606, 2809, and 2813). The chosen period for analysis corresponds to the week prior to the first round, as well as the week prior to the second round of the presidential elections in 2018 and 2022. Thus, there are eight covers and eight cover stories in total, four of each item and from each of the magazines. The research is theoretically grounded in the concepts of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), which views language as a system where individuals make choices to construct meanings (NEVES, 2004); and in the studies of Multimodality. For the investigation of evaluations about the candidates, the research employs concepts related to Visual Design Grammar (VDG) (KRESS; van LEEUWEN, 2006), with a focus on the interpersonal meanings arising from the metafunction; in addition to the Appraisal System (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005; MARTIN; ROSE, 2007), which corresponds to a complex set of resources for the construction of interpersonal meaning used as a tool for the analysis of evaluation expressed through language. The first and second aspects addressed in this work concern the analysis of the linguistic and visual modes of the covers of each edition of the two selected magazines, under the light of the Appraisal System and Visual Design Grammar, respectively. The third and fourth steps involve analyzing the evaluative elements in the linguistic mode and the images of the four cover stories from the two magazines, aiming to systematize recurring attitudes and evaluations. Subsequently, the relationship between the meanings resulting from the analyses of the linguistic and visual elements described is established. Through the proposed investigation, and starting from the assumption that magazines fabricate discursive images of candidates during electoral processes, it is possible to understand which evaluations were constructed, through written language and images, about the candidates Fernando Haddad and Jair Bolsonaro (in 2018), and Jair Bolsonaro and Lula (in 2022) in the presidential elections.
