Abstract

PINTO, Francisco Neto Pereira  and  MAGALHAES, Hilda Dutra Gomes. A legislação ambiental do município de Araguaína: para quem?. ETD [online]. 2009, vol.11, n.01, pp.206-233. ISSN 1676-2592.

The aim of this study is to analyze Law no. 1659/96 on the establishment of environmental policy in the municipality of Araguaina, Tocantins, trying to understand the functioning of some speeches materialized in the text of the law. Using as support for French Discourse Analysis, we see that for the law, the responsible for the degradation and environmental preservation are those who maintain relations with the municipal education, with the media and the authorities and environmental associations, freeing up the other groups of the burden. By defining the composition of the administrative offices of government and some professions, the law determines who actually will appropriate environmental discourse and ensures the interests of dominant groups.

Keywords : Environmental Policy; Discourse Analysis; Power Relations.
