O FUNCIONÁRIO PÚBLICO E SUA IMAGEM SOCIAL
The objective of this research is to investigate the content of the statements involving the public official in the artistic, political and civil spheres, selected in the national Internet portals, and to discuss the existing relationship between valuation and ideology, and their materialization in these statements. The hypothesis is that they were ideologically constructed, contributing to strengthen the pejorative image of the public official. This research is based on the bibliographic study of Bakhtinian theory, and addresses the concepts of valuation, ideology and utterance. Its conclusion confirmed that the investigated statements were ideologically constructed, based on the value judgment of society, contributing to the strengthening of the pejorative image of the public official, through social interactions.
