Keywords:
memory, discourse analysis, feminism, media and gender-based violenceAbstract
This text aims to analyze the approach taken by the media in several cases of gender-based violence and its impact on (increases in) occurrence records. And the same time that the victim’s conduct is blamed, the role of the media and the police can also be revealed/transformed, as in the case of the drive to report gender violence to the police. It is known that the power relations between men and women are patriarchal and unequal, with bodies bringing discourses that permeate different areas, legal, political and economic. With the premise of the existence of discursive questions moving the construction of meanings in society and in view of the theoretical foundation of understanding discourse as an effect of meanings between interlocutors, makes room for the development of the analysis corresponding to the relationship between the media, gender discourse and violence.
