A valoração do assassinato de travestis e transexuais no portal de notícias G1 pelo olhar da Análise Dialógica do Discurso

Abstract

According to the release of data obtained by national and international organizations, Brazil is the country that kills the most LGBTS (lesbians, gays, transvestites and transsexuals) in the world. However, the brutalization of crimes committed against transvestites and transsexuals is attracting increasing attention. In the absence of government initiatives regarding the monitoring of these cases, the media outlets become largely responsible for publicizing the deaths. We defend the thesis that news portals may be operating through a process of silencing and naturalizing crimes, without establishing a dialogue with the broader context of violence to which these identities are subjected. Considering this, in this work, we aim, by carrying out an analysis of the web news that presents these deaths, to think about how these crimes were reported and valued. To this end, we present, as a theoretical-methodological sport, the contributions of Dialogical Discourse Analysis (DDA), coming from the Bakhtin Circle. In order to achieve the desired results, we mobilized some ADD concepts, such as: word, ideology, valorization, statement and speech genres. Furthermore, we seek to establish a dialogue with different areas of knowledge, so that we can better think about the scenarios of violence and abjection in which dissident gender identities are inserted. Among these areas, we can highlight contributions from Sociology, Anthropology, History and Quuer Theory, especially the ideas of Judith Butler. Our methodological path, in turn, was based on a contribution by Sobral (2009) in a planned dialogue with Brait, going through the stages of description, analysis and interpretation of the object of study. We also highlight that the news portal chosen to carry out the analyzes was G1, considering its relevance in the media scenario. Among the results found, we point out that, given the analyzes carried out, we can think of a mechanism for naturalizing and silencing the violence committed against the lives of transvestites and transsexuals.
