of the most frequent activities in human experience. Either in ordinary
activities or in specialized ones, representation takes part in different
social practices in which people engage themselves, infl uencing one’s
particular perspectives on world. This paper discusses the representation
and identifi cation of homosexual Brazilian youngsters in Veja
magazine – the largest weekly news magazine in Brazil. It is based on
CDA approach (Fairclough, 2003; Chouliaraki and Fairclough, 1999),
associated with studies about ideology and mass media in Thompson
(1998, p. 2002) and identity theory in Hall (2001). Applying analytical
categories such as intertextuality, polyphony, presupposition, evaluation
and modality (Resende and Ramalho, 2009), it was possible to unveil
linguistic structures which establish opposite perspectives between past
and present social struggles. Thus it was possible to find that, in spite
of bring forth the subject of homosexuality, the magazine shows sexist
views which legitimate stereotypes in a veiled way.

Therefore, the main objective of this study focuses on the modes of representation and identification of the homeless population in a cover story of the publication. The theoretical basis of the investigation draws upon the analytical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). As the result of the analysis, it was possible to map discursive strategies which pointed to a certain protagonism related to the homeless people who appears in the texts, although the street paper idealizes the homeless social actors (including through the reader's voices). Resumo: O objetivo desta investigação se concentra na discussão crítica sobre a representação e aconstrução de identidade/ identificação dos atores sociais em situação representados no street paper brasileiro Aurora da Rua. A análise aqui proposta buscou escrutinar, em específico, os modos de representação e iden-tificação da população em situação de rua em uma reportagem de capa da publicação. A base teórica deste trabalho insere-se no quadro teórico-metodológico da Análise de Discurso Crítica (ADC). Como resultado da análise crítica, foi possível mapear estratégias discursivas que apontavam para um certo protagonismo relacionado às pessoas em situação de rua que aparecem nos textos, ainda que o periódico idealize os atores sociais em situação de rua (através de vozes do leitor inclusive). Palavras-chave: Análise de Discurso Crítica; pobreza extrema; situação de rua; mídia; street papers.
