#Eleitas: Violência simbólica de gênero e resistência em publicações da página Quebrando o Tabu sobre a participação feminina na política

Abstract

This investigation aims to discuss how symbolic gender-based violence (BOURDIEU, 1989; ZIZEK, 2014) is expressed through comments on three posts of the Eleitas campaign, posted by the Quebrando o Tabu Facebook page, as well as debate strategies of resistance (FOUCAULT, 1988) used by women in this context. In addition, the implications of discourses with symbolic gender-based violence and the repercussion resistance strategies created by women are examined in this study. In order to achieve this purpose, the data collected was studied considering the Critical Discourse Analysis research (FAIRCLOUGH, 2012; 2016) the Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis, proposed by Herring (2001; 2004). At the end of this stage, it was possible to understand that symbolic violence was expressed by means of depreciation of women and feminist ideals, blaming them for not having gender equality, accusations which hold no solid basis related to women who were in power, sexist humor, stereotypes, exclusion and disinformation. Due to such expressions of violence, ways of resistance were observed, such as direct confrontation with users who demonstrated attitudes of violence, praise for female governments considered competent, complaints of Injustice, encouraging people to vote for female candidates, defense of female rulers widely criticized, support for feminist struggles and enhancement of characteristics considered feminine. On the impact of violence and resistance in the interactional environment, the values that emerged most frequently were visibility, popularity and social support.
