【 摘 要 】

This paper focuses on the representation of climate change in French and Brazilian newspapers. It reports on the results of a discourse analysis of Le Monde, Le Figaro, O Estado de São Paulo and O Globo.The heuristic assumption driving this study is that the representation of climate change in the press is divided between utopic and dystopic ideas. The theoretical framework is based on philosophical works as well as on literary studies about utopia and dystopia. The concept of “moment discursif” and Sophie Moirand’s works related to daily French press are the bases for discourse analysis. The study finds that the representation of climate change in the newspapers is shaped by the idea of scientific and politic consensus, promoting individual initiatives, and nature preservation and technologies as the answer for climate change.
