Faces and interfaces unveiled in the discursive practices of organizations

Abstract

This article examines the discursive practice considering different types of discourses which emerge in organizations as a consequence of social factors, promoting the articulation between texts and socio-historical contexts (Fairclough, 2001). This article presents the empirical study performed in two graphic industries, located in different geographic spaces. As the conditions of the discursive practice – which involve the production, distribution and textual consumption – are unveiled, the article introduces the discussion about how these articulations happen in practice.
