Violações de direitos humanos pela mídia: uma análise sobre a transfobia nos portais de notícias online do RN e sua representação social

Abstract

Society is marked by different forms of human rights violations in various social dimensions, one of which is the media, especially with regard to populations in greater socioeconomic vulnerability, such as transsexuals and transvestites. Starting from this reality, this research will have two moments of investigation, one that analyzes how transphobia manifests itself in the news and another that analyzes from which social representations these people are presented. For this, we will analyze the following online news portals in Rio Grande do Norte: Portal Agora RN; Portal No Minute; Portal G1 RN; Portal VNT and Blog do BG, in a time frame of five years (2014 to 2018). This problem is mainly involved in the fields of gender and transsexuality, directly related to gender violence, transphobia and the media. To understand the analyzes we will use the Critical Discourse Analysis by Van Dijk (2000, 2004, 2013, 2015) articulated with the concept of social representation by Moscovici (2007). In the field of results, we present the categories of analysis that make up the transphobic discourse and its social representation in the media, as well as, we present a theoretical and methodological model for this discursive media analysis composed of “transphobic discourse – social reproduction – social representation”.
