Sumario:Recognizing that discourse semiotics is presented as a methodology, to a certain extent, that allows us to treat meaning as the fruit of individual enunciations, under any value system, without incurring in preconceived analyses; we seek to show the scarce interest in the study of topics such as racism and machismo, and to reflect on the hegemonic discourse constructed in and by the science of language that is consolidated in an unmarked way, insofar as counter-hegemonic discourses end up marked - as "militant", for example. Starting from the Greimasian proposal on the difference between the black and white cultural worlds, we have chosen three journals, Estudos Semióticos, from USP; Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicada, from Unesp; Actes Sémiotiques, from the University of Limoges, to observe whether the themes of racism, machismo (and patriarchy) and feminism appear, or not, in articles in these journals. The text then aims to evaluate the current situation in discursive semiotics, especially in Brazil, and to explore considerations for its future as a discipline in the human and social sciences.
