Abstract

The article shows how the subject of the discourse identifi es with the dominant ideology without being aware of it. The refl ection is based on the films “Pro dia nascer feliz” and “Entre les murs”, with an attempt to demonstrate how ideology operates in speech. The concepts of discourse analysis by Pêcheux are used under the guidance of a positivist paradigm, in which data is understood as evidence elements of a discursive mode of operation. In both films, it can be observed the cultural and social difference among the characters; this difference materializes discursively and works as an element of division, generating the misunderstanding and friction in the teacher-pupil-school-parents relationship. The teacher is considered a subject with a colonizing role, i.e. one who imposes his/ her culture, knowledge and language on students in order to neutralize the differences producing the effect of a logically stabilized society, where everyone would have a ‘natural’ place.
