MONTEIRO, Bruno  and  ALMEIDA, Carla Aurélia de. Misfortunes, risks and mistakes: representations of construction workers' accidents in the Portuguese press (1996-2017). Sociologia [online]. 2019, n.tematico9, pp.84-121. ISSN 0872-3419.  https://doi.org/10.21747/08723419/soctem2019a4.

From an attachment to a plurality of perspectives, we seek to understand the discursive strategies mobilized here.

Keywords : written press; representations; discursive strategies; perspective.
