Given the importance of the so-called student movement in the history of Brazil, especially in the period of the military dictatorship, we aim in this paper at examining this movement nowadays. Our main goal is to grasp, through a linguistic and discursive analysis, the éthos of the one that enunciates as the National Union of Students (UNE, in Portuguese), taken here as the major representative of the Brazilian student movement. We also seek to find the discursive formations, mainly the dominant FD, (and the underlying ideological formation) in the discourse of UNE, as well as to identify its main demands, issues that, in our opinion, are related to the éthos construction in a privileged way. In order to do that, we selected ten texts published on the website of UNE, during the years 2011 and 2012, which, belonging predominantly to the argumentative genre, present more clearly a discursive image of the entity. Inserted in the field of French Discourse Analysis, this research, from the theoretical viewpoint, is based mainly on Maingueneaus work (1984 , 1987 , 1993) about the Aristotelian notion of éthos, as well as on the contributions of other authors that also deal with such a notion, such as Amossy (2005) and Fiorin (2007). For the analysis of the corpus, we started with Maingueneaus concept of Global Semantics (2008a), focusing on the following plans: themes, vocabulary, status of enunciator and receiver, enunciation deixis and mode of enunciation. The results revealed a discourse based on a left-wing discursive (ideological) formation, in which we can find basically two éthe: an éthos that we call "citizen" éthos, understood as the discursive image of the someone (an institution) that looks for common goodness and law respect, and the other one, more prominent, which we call "revolutionary" éthos, taken as the discursive image of the one that seeks for profound changes in the structure of society or, in other terms, a revolution. Among the main demands of UNE, are currently more investments in education, especially for the promotion of a good public college education, which is able not only to help eliminate historical inequalities, but also ensure a better future for the country as a whole.
