Gabriela Loran e a afetividade nas vivências de mulheres trans: uma investigação crítica do discurso

Abstract

The present work aims to investigate, in the light of Critical Discourse Analysis (hereinafter CDA), the representations of affection in the speech of actress and content creator Gabriela Loran, a trans woman. To this end, we selected three multimodal texts in video format that were published on their Instagram profile throughout 2021. We mobilized the theoretical-methodological framework proposed by Fairclough (2003), Chouliaraki and Fairclough (1999), Martin and White (2005) and Ramalho and Rezende (2011), who understand discourse as an integral part of social practices; and by Magalhães et al (2017), who propose the ethnographic-discursive research methodology, which seeks to relate the study of the text to these practices. In order to present the results of our investigation, we divided this work into five sections. In the first, we present the main concepts proposed by ADC, such as Discourse, discourse and social practices. In the second section, we discuss how the Affectivity can be studied from critical discourse studies and we present the Theory of Appraisal proposed by Martin and White (2005), which will base the analysis of the research data. In the third section, we present the ethodological aspects of the discursive ethnography that is carried out. In the fourth section, we analyze how affection towards trans women is constructed in Gabriela Loran's texts. Finally, we present a discussion on how affectivity is understood within feminist and transfeminist discussions and how the representations configured by Gabriela dialogue with these perceptions.
