Violência contra a mulher: uma análise dos discursos sobre gênero nos sites e agências de notícias online no Rio Grande do Sul no período de 2020-2021

Abstract

The present study analyzes the production of identities from the news published in digital journalistic media about violence against women in Rio Grande do Sul in the period 2020-2021, which coincides with the pandemic caused by the coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2), still ongoing on a planetary scale. The perspective of subject and identity defined here is based on the contributions of cultural studies, mainly by Hall, 2014, which will understand the construction of identity from the decentering of the modern subject, which is fluid, unfinished and in constant construction. Our research is qualitative and starts from Discourse Analysis (DA) in Foucault to study journalistic vehicles as a technology of genre (Lauretis, 1987). Nine news items were analyzed, which allowed us to study the profile of violence and the profile of women victims of femicide, as well as identify discourses that produce women as a mere objectified body, contributing to the perpetuation of the hegemonic logic of power. We also study the subject readers as a discursive unit (Benetti, 2020), based on the comments produced and the interaction with other readers, thus resulting in new identities and processes of subjectivation. We analyzed the differences in narratives about women, considering the social markers of difference, from an intersectional perspective, and concluded that journalistic vehicles, such as gender technology, produce different narratives depending on who the victim of violence is. They also contribute to the (re)production of women as a fragile, sentimental, incapable and subordinate subject to male domination, directly and indirectly interfering in the perpetuation of normative identities about gender roles and stereotypes, as well as violence as a natural process of these hierarchical relationships. pre-established – values of our sexist and patriarchal society.
