%X luiz in¨¢cio lula da silva£¿s triumph in brazil£¿s 2002 presidential election was construed in terms of a promise of radical change, and so against the holders of the status quo. this article argues that in fact a more subtle political game was a stake in the election, a contest over the meaning and limits of change itself. the article examines how the various players lula da silva, outgoing president fernando henrique cardoso and the psdb£¿s presidential candidate jos¨¦ serra invoked and iterated a discourse of change to define and redefine the political dividing lines that marked out the electoral dispute and attempted to set or fix the distinctions between their political positions.
