Abstract

Since the announcement of Lula’s throat cancer on October 2011, the risks presented to the voice of Brazil’ former president gave rise to a wide range of comments. Based on Discourse Analysis derived from Michel Pêcheux in this essay we propose to analyze them in terms of their different positions and their distinct meanings. We further undertake a reflexion on certain aspects of Brazilian history, which are preserved in the voice of one of the most important personalities in the country, in order to answer the following questions: Why was Lula’s voice mentioned a number of times? What are the positions and implications of these comments? What role did his voice play in his public speeches, in the composition of his charisma, and in his political success?
