Based on literature review and interviews with journalists, we argue that the BRICS countries are constructing a collective vision, guided by logics of recognition and of transformation. The production of discourse reaches its high point during the BRICS leaders’ summits. To go beyond analysis of the discourse revealed in the media, this article examines projects, thereby aiming to qualify and label the justificatory discourses, in order to develop an understanding of intentions. The BRICS countries have become a reference point as the press increasingly makes comparisons between these countries. The notion of recognition, present in the political elites, also appears as a part of the public imagination and in the press. The leaders too seek transformation. The first official multilateral institution founded by the BRICS countries was the New Development Bank. Current efforts indicate the development of common scientific and technological research initiatives and official support for the establishment of an innovative BRICS Network University. Initiatives will appear as these countries try to consolidate their position.

认可与转型：超越媒体对金砖国家的话语

基于文献回顾和记者采访，我们认为金砖国家正在构建一种以承认逻辑和转型逻辑为指导的集体愿景。金砖国家领导人会晤期间，话语产生达到顶峰。为了超越对媒体揭示的话语的分析，本文考察了项目，从而旨在限定和标记正当性话语，以发展对意图的理解。随着媒体越来越多地在这些国家之间进行比较，金砖国家已成为一个参考点。政治精英中出现的承认概念也作为公众想象和媒体的一部分出现。领导者也寻求转型。金砖国家成立的第一个官方多边机构是新开发银行。目前的努力表明，共同科技研究计划的发展以及对建立创新型金砖国家网络大学的官方支持。随着这些国家试图巩固其地位，将出现一些举措。
