Thus, with a view to making the argumentative-methodological architecture more visible to the reader, the following sections and their respective summarized contents are presented.

An analysis of the media success of Tocantins, in which the analytical operators are set in motion in the process of investigating the knowledge-power relations existing in the target object of this examination. As a result, the lack of data was verified regarding the media device as a constitutive feature of this, the meritocratic discursive formation as one of the representations of the egalitarian episteme in force in the contemporary scenario.
