Pessoas trans e o discurso conservador no Brasil: ideologia e efeitos de sentido

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to analyze the sense effects of conservative discourse on trans people in Brazil, by posts in the digital environment. For this purpose, concepts related to Human Rights were mobilized, to then introduce Judith Butler's Queer Theory into the research, as a theoretical basis for trans people. As the cuts occur taking into account the Brazilian context, it was also important to bring to the debate the contributions of Berenice Bento, contributing mainly to the concept of transfeminicide. The mediation between gender and society, history and ideology occurs through discourse, here understood according to the Analysis of Discourse (AD) theory, inaugurated by Michel Pêcheux and, in Brazil, developed by Eni Orlandi. The discursive sequences were formulated from posts made on social networks and on the internet in general, being understood as the empirical material of the research, mobilizing the concept of “metallic memory” (Eni Orlandi). These posts refer to people that the survey identified as 'opinion makers' or “influentials” in the conservative sector, in different subject positions: Jair Messias Bolsonaro (President of the Republic), Olavo Luiz Pimentel de Carvalho (Writer) and José Siqueira Barros Júnior/Sikêra Júnior (TV presenter), all avowedly conservative and with consequences in the political discourse. Essential concepts such as forgetting #1 and forgetting #2, interdiscourse and intradiscourse are mobilized, as well as materiality and digital discourse, conditions for the production of discourse in the digital medium and in hyperscale, conservatism, conservatism in Brazil, and, fundamentally, ideology. Results and completion in progress.
