FUTURE PROJECTS

Empathetic mobility in discursively engaged journalistic narratives

Following Rabatel (2025, p. 225), who also advocates for “a critical, rational, distanced engagement” with themes and corpora “that highlight distortions to which the social body is not sufficiently attentive,” this research project aims to focus on the study of empathic mobility, defined as the change of point of view (PDV) operated in discourses as a result of empathy, in narrative sequences from the journalistic domain that, to some extent, thematize the unjust suffering of social minorities. Based on the principle that the speaking subject (Charaudeau, 2025), in the process of semiotization of the world, in addition to informing, reveals their enunciative perspective, the objective of this endeavor is to identify semi-discursive procedures that i) indicate (directly or indirectly) the POVs of the enunciators and ii) reveal the disengaged engagement (Rabatel, 2025) of the speaker in relation to socially sensitive issues and have the potential to provoke the interlocutor's adherence.
