| Sumario: | The article probes some uses of the word “fundamentalism” by the press media from the U.S. and Brazil between the 1920s and 2000s. The analysis draws on contents from key national newspapers, such as “The New York Times,” “O Estado de São Paulo,” and “O Globo.” The research methods comprise critical discourse analysis and statistical inquiry into media archives. The article reviews the history of Fundamentalism as a religious movement, its rise to a media subject, and the transformation of its name into a category of secular political vocabulary. The comparative analysis of data from the two countries shows: 1) a similar trend of increasing use of the term by the analyzed newspapers; 2) a difference in the semantic history of the word in the U.S. and Brazil. |
