Régis Debray e os Estudos do Discurso: contribuições midiológicas para o conceito de suporte discursivo

Abstract

The present article is structured in two main sections. In the first section we aim to present an outline of Regis Debray’s mediology, in order to highlight some aspects of his discipline and relate them to Discourse Studies. In the second section we intend to develop the concept of discursive support theoretically from a Discourse Studies perspective and taking into account Debray’s notion of support. In this section it will also be argued why the concept of discursive support could be a relevant tool in the field of discourse analysis.
