The Brazilian foreign policy during Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva‟s administrations was conducted by the affirmation of the country‟s sovereign presence on the global scenario, through alignment, South-South cooperation, and integration, intensifying trade with emerging nations, and covering global-scale issues. Throughout the linguistic signs, senses, and meanings‟ interpretation, this dissertation aims to comprehend the Brazilian international identities‟ representation in official foreign policy speeches during Lula‟s administration. This subject concerns comprehensive interpretative research with an analytical-discursive orientation, which was based on a case study built in the contexts of South America and the Middle East, through the application of a discourse analysis device. The textual analysis‟ corpus made it possible to identify a complex system of denotation operated by the speeches that, when textually displacing the State positions in the discursive field, produces distinct relations of differences by representational practices. It was verified that representational practices involved the demarcation of boundaries between the Self-as-subject and the Other in spatial, temporal, and ethical terms, besides the mobilization of affections and resentments, the establishment of intertextual connections with temporal scenes, the controversy, the use of repetitions, paraphrases and reformulations and the construction of stereotyped images. In this discursive process, Brazilian international identities as South American, a regional leader, and peoples‟ interlocutor were represented by Brazilian foreign policy, justifying and leading the State through the international system‟s positions of power. It was concluded that the international identities must be thought of relatively and differentially and that the speeches, the interpretation, and the meanings established are essential for the existence of identities and of state and political action.
