Maternidade compulsória: valoração e discurso intolerante em comentários no Facebook

Abstract

The present work has as its object of research the case that involved a Brazilian actress in 2022. The actress in question became pregnant as a result of rape, but discovered the pregnancy only at the end of it, choosing to have the baby and give it up for adoption. However, the young woman's privacy was exposed by a healthcare worker present at the birth, who gave the information about what happened to the press. When it became public, many people began to express opinions about the actress's attitude, strongly condemning her conduct of not assuming the role of mother. In this way, we fest instigated to analyze comment-statements present on the publication fo magazine on the social media network Facebook that judged her attitude. For this, we are anchored in the theoretical-methodological assumptions of the Bakhtin Circle, focusing on the concept of valuation, in addition to using the notion of intolerant discourse, elaborated by Diana Luz Pessoa de Barros. The analyzes were performed following the analytical procedures proposed by Sobral (2006): description, analysis and interpretation. The results obtained from the analyzes showed us that they mobilize different topics revealing a worldview that believes that every woman, for beinge a woman, must be a mother. Therefore, those who do not follow this path deserve to have intolerant speeches uttered at them.
